Presidents Cup: A quick look at both USA Team and International Team

Welcome to Playing Through’s daily ritual — Golf Talk Today.

Each day, the crew will discuss various elements of the PGA Tour, LPGA, LIV Golf, and more.

Since we looked at the Solheim Cup yesterday, I wanted to discuss the Presidents Cup standings today.

Instead of just looking at Team USA, I will also include the International Team.

The Presidents Cup is Sept. 24-29 at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Quebec, Canada.

Jim Furyk is Team USA’s captain, while Mike Weir is at the helm of the International Team.

Team USA is 12-1-1 all-time in the biennial event.

Let’s look at each team’s standings since the competition is around a month away!

Top 6 in Team USA Presidents Cup standings

For Team USA, the Top six PGA Tour members with the most FedEx Cup points through August 25 will automatically qualify. Then Furyk will get six captain’s picks to round out the team on Sept. 3.

1. Scottie Scheffler:
2. Xander Schauffele:
3. Collin Morikawa:
4. Wyndham Clark:
5. Patrick Cantlay:
6. Sahith Theegala:

The first six out include:

7. Tony Finau:
8. Russell Henley,
9. Max Homa:
10. Brian Harman:
11. Sam Burns:
12. Akshay Bhatia:

It is safe to assume Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele secured their spot on the team. Past that, it will be interesting to see how the BMW Championship plays out to see the final…
