The International Team has its first six players locked in, while Geoff Ogilvy prepares to make six picks ahead of the Sept. 24-27 matches.
The Presidents Cup field is starting to take shape. With the Tour Championship complete at East Lake on Sunday, the six automatic qualifiers for Geoff Ogilvy's International Team are official ahead of the matches at Medinah Country Club's No. 3 Course from Sept. 24-27.
Si Woo Kim tops the list, followed by Hideki Matsuyama, British Open champion Ryan Fox, Tom Kim, Min Woo Lee and Adam Scott. All six finished inside the top 30 in FedEx Cup points during the 2026 season to earn their spots.
Lee arrives at Medinah with momentum after a T-4 finish at East Lake, capping a season that included an opening-round 62 in his Tour Championship debut.
Scott's inclusion carries the most history. At 46, he will make his 12th Presidents Cup appearance, a record for the International team that also ties Phil Mickelson for the most appearances by any player in the event's history. He was in contention at East Lake as well, sitting tied for third through 54 holes before closing with a T-11 finish.
Fox brings his own bit of history, becoming the first player from New Zealand to compete in the Presidents Cup since Danny Lee in 2015.
The American side finalized its automatic qualifiers a week earlier at the conclusion of the BMW Championship. Brandt Snedeker's team already includes Scottie Scheffler, who topped the U.S. standings and won the Tour Championship, along with Players Championship winner Cameron Young, U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark, Sam Burns, Russell Henley and Collin Morikawa.
Both captains will announce their six picks on Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 5 p.m. ET, completing the 12-man rosters.
For Ogilvy, the next six names in the International standings offer an obvious starting point. Corey Conners, Nico Echavarria, Sungjae Im, Ryo Hisatsune, Jason Day and Casey Jarvis occupy those spots, though only Echavarria and Jarvis have won in 2026.
The stakes at Medinah are considerable for the International side, which has not won the Presidents Cup in more than two decades. The United States has won 10 straight, a streak that began after the 2003 tie in South Africa, the last time Scott was part of a team that avoided defeat.
Ogilvy, in his first turn as captain, will try to end that run with a roster that is now half complete.
