Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy, captain of the International team for the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club, thinks his side has been making headway in the biennial matches the past few years in a way that is reminiscent of the European team when it was inching closer to defeating the American squad in the early to mid-1980s.
Newly unveiled Presidents Cup International captain Geoff Ogilvy says it would be “cool” if he were able to select LIV golfers when his men take on the US side in 2026 at Chicago’s famed Medinah.
Two weeks after a rather chippy Presidents Cup, Paul Tesori has come to Tom Kim’s defence regarding allegations that the American players cursed at the 22-year-old Korean during the Presidents Cup. But the veteran caddie also wishes his player had handled the situation differently in the aftermath.
Kim made it a point to seek out Furyk and Schauffele to explain exactly what he meant by his comments, and he revealed what he said to them in the International team’s post-Presidents Cup press conference.
A video/screenshot of Homa went viral because he could be seen chugging a Budweiser heavy behind US captain Jim Furyk as PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan made some remarks during the closing ceremony.
Day 2 gave the Internationals confidence that their play could be strong enough to not just overcome more highly ranked players on the US side, but deliver heavy knockout blows.
The sweep marked the fifth time that one team shut out the other in a session and the result each time has been the Americans wielding the brooms. The last time it happened also came at Royal Montreal in 2007. So much for hostile.
Canadians are renowned for being polite, but this seemed more like strange indifference, considering a decent portion of the country loves golf and should take pride in getting such international attention.
In its 30-year history, the Presidents Cup has been woefully short of indelible moments and surprises. Kim, at the very least, provides a wrinkle to the proceedings.
