The PGA Tour announced that Brandt Snedeker, the vice captain of the United States Ryder Cup team, has been added to Jim Furyk’s squad as assistant captain for the Presidents Cup match this month in Montreal against Mike Weir’s International team.
Snedeker, a nine-time winner on the PGA Tour and the 2007 Rookie of the Year on the American tour, will play in the Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club on September 26–29 alongside aides Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard, and Kevin Kisner.
With this news, Furyk stated: “He is a fierce competitor, great teammate and one of the most respected players on the PGA Tour… He will provide a steady voice in the team room, and I will rely on him for insight and advice as we lead our 12 players into Montreal at the end of the month.”
First time as assistant captain
Snedeker was selected as one of Keegan Bradley’s vice captains for the 2025 Ryder Cup last month, and will serve as captain’s aide for the first time in the Presidents Cup. Given this role, he declared: “My goal is to add a trusted voice to our players throughout the week and do everything I can to help us pull out the win.”
The athlete competed for the United States in the 2012 and 2016 Ryder Cups, where he earned a 4-2-0 record. He also represented the country in the 2013 Presidents Cup, finishing with a 2-3-0 record.
In the Presidents Cup, International players from outside of Europe compete against a 12-man U.S. squad. The United States has a perfect record of 12-1-1 in the Ryder Cup-style Presidents Cup competition, and their lone defeat was in 1998 at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia.
