Presidents Cup teams get 6 automatic qualifiers

The Presidents Cup teams will now receive six automatic qualifiers, up from four, under a new format announced by the PGA Tour. The top four players from each team’s points list will earn automatic berths, with two additional players being selected by the team captains.
