Geoff Ogilvy and Brandt Snedeker
"The Presidents Cup has been a
significant part of my career. I am
honored to now take on the role of
Captain of the International Team for
the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah
Country Club's Course No. 3, a place
that means a great deal to me," Ogilvy
said. "Since Ernie Els debuted the
shield in 2019, the International Team's
spirit has intensified and grown as we
have rallied around this symbol which
embodies our shared ambition and
unifies both players and fans. I intend to
carry that momentum forward, just as the
captains before me have, to build strong
support for our international players in
the lead up and throughout the event."
Ogilvy's connection to Medinah
runs deeper than competition—his
design firm, OCM, spearheaded the
recent renovation of Course No. 3,
a transformation that elevated the
layout to match its historic pedigree.
Larger greens, bold bunkering, and a
reimagined routing now set the stage
for a Presidents Cup unlike any before.
"Representing my country in team
competition has been a highlight of
my PGA TOUR career, and I will lean
on those experiences to ensure we
are prepared and ready to compete
against what I know will be a unified
and determined International Team."
Snedeker's resume speaks for itself:
nine PGA TOUR victories, including the
2012 TOUR Championship and the
FedExCup title. His team credentials are
equally impressive, with appearances in
the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup, plus
recent stints as a captain's assistant.
Geoff Ogilvy brings his own legacy
to the International Team. A three-time
Presidents Cup competitor and four-time
captain's assistant, the Australian boasts
eight PGA TOUR wins, highlighted by
his triumph at the 2006 U.S. Open.
