MEDINAH, Illinois — U.S. Presidents Cup skipper Brandt Snedeker has filled two of his assistant captain roles, announcing the appointments of Jim Furyk and Keegan Bradley this Wednesday. The hirings bring veteran leadership and recent top-level captaincy experience to Snedeker’s team ahead of the September tournament at Medinah Country Club.
Furyk, who was named U.S. Ryder Cup captain just last month, holds the distinction of being the most recent winning Presidents Cup team skipper, having led the U.S. to victory at the 2024 edition hosted at Royal Montreal. Bradley, who competed in the 2024 Presidents Cup as a player, served as U.S. Ryder Cup captain at Bethpage Black in 2025, where his team fell to the European side.
In his statement announcing the appointments, Snedeker highlighted the pair’s deep history leading American golf squads and their widespread credibility among tour players of all age groups. “Both guys have incredible experience as leaders representing the United States and they’ve each earned the respect of players across generations,” Snedeker said.
The 45-year-old captain, who just claimed victory at the Myrtle Beach Classic two weeks prior, still has two additional assistant captain positions left to fill before the tournament kicks off. The 12-team match play event is scheduled to run from September 24 to 27 at Medinah’s championship course.
First launched in 1994, the Presidents Cup pits the U.S. team against an International side composed of top players from across the globe, excluding Europe. In the tournament’s 30-plus year history, the U.S. has only suffered one defeat — a 1998 loss that remains the sole blemish on the side’s dominant record in the competition.
