Snedeker, Ogilvy named 2026 Presidents Cup captains
Brandt Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy will captain the Americans and the Internationals, respectively, at the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club in Illinois, the teams announced Tuesday.
Snedeker, 44, served as a captain's assistant under Jim Furyk for the United States at the 2024 Presidents Cup, which the Americans won by seven points.
A 13-time PGA TOUR winner, Snedeker played for winning U.S. teams at the 2013 Presidents Cup and 2016 Ryder Cup. However, Snedeker's memories of Medinah likely aren't fond, as he was also part of the American 2012 Ryder Cup team that ended up on the wrong end of the "Miracle at Medinah."
Snedeker owns a 6-5-0 overall record as a player at Ryder and Presidents Cups. The United States have won 10 straight Presidents Cups dating back to 2005.
Ogilvy, meanwhile, served as a captain's assistant for the Internationals under Mike Weir at the 2024 Presidents Cup.
The Australian represented the Internationals at the Presidents Cup as a player in 2007, 2009, and 2011. He owns a 53.57% winning percentage in 14 career matches.
Ogilvy has 12 professional wins in his career, including his lone major championship victory at the 2006 U.S. Open.
The 47-year-old should be able to provide his side immense knowledge of Medinah No. 3, the course that will be used for the tournament. His architecture firm, OCM Golf, was responsible for completing a renovation of the course in 2023.
The International team's only victory at the Presidents Cup came in 1998.
