The Presidents Cup is set to kick off at Royal Montreal, featuring a star-studded 12-man roster for team USA. Leading the pack is Keegan Bradley, a seasoned golfer at 38 years old with a world ranking of 13 and seven worldwide victories under his belt, including the prestigious PGA Championship in 2011.

Joining Bradley on the team is Sam Burns, aged 28, ranked 19th globally with five worldwide victories and a former Match Play Championship winner. Another notable player is Patrick Cantlay, aged 32 and ranked 9th in the world. Despite not having any victories in 2024, Cantlay boasts an impressive record at the Presidents Cup and made headlines at the Ryder Cup for not wearing a hat.

Making his debut at the Presidents Cup is Wyndham Clark, aged 30 and ranked 6th globally. Clark set a record at Pebble Beach with a 60 in the third round for his most recent victory and is one of two U.S. players who made their professional team debut at the Ryder Cup. Tony Finau, aged 35, ranked 23rd globally, has a 3-2-3 record at the Presidents Cup and has been a consistent presence on U.S. teams in recent years.

Russell Henley, aged 35 and ranked 14th globally, is playing in his first U.S. team competition after 12 years on the PGA Tour. Max Homa, aged 33, ranked 25th globally, has a flawless 4-0-0 Presidents Cup record and will be closely watched as he aims to break out of a recent slump.

Collin Morikawa, aged 27 and ranked 4th globally, has had a stellar career with two major wins. Xander Schauffele, aged 30 and ranked 2nd globally, is coming off a remarkable year with two major victories. Scottie Scheffler, aged 28 and ranked 1st globally, had a phenomenal season with seven wins, including a major and an Olympic gold.

Lastly, Sahith Theegala, aged 26 and ranked 11th globally, secured a spot on the team with one worldwide victory and three runner-up finishes this year. As the youngest player on the team, Theegala will be making his debut in U.S. team competition at the Presidents Cup. This diverse and talented roster promises an exciting competition at the prestigious event.
