2024 U.S. Presidents Cup captain’s picks announced (with surprise omission)

The six captain’s picks for the 2024 U.S. Presidents Cup team, led by Trevor Immelman, were announced today. The selections include Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Young, and Will Zalatoris.

The most notable omission from the team is Dustin Johnson, who has been a mainstay on the U.S. Presidents Cup team in recent years. Johnson, who is currently ranked 21st in the world, has played on the U.S. team in each of the last five Presidents Cups. It is unclear why Johnson was not selected for the team, but it is possible that his recent form is to blame. Johnson has not won a PGA Tour event since the 2020 Masters Tournament and has struggled to contend in recent months.

Presidents Cup captain’s pick snubs: The biggest surprises on both sides 

The Presidents Cup captain’s picks have been announced, and there were some notable snubs on both sides.

For the United States, the biggest surprise was the omission of Patrick Cantlay. Cantlay is ranked No. 4 in the world and has been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour over the past few years. He was a member of the 2019 Presidents Cup team and played well, going 2-1-1.

Another surprising snub for the United States was Daniel Berger. Berger is ranked No. 12 in the world and has won two PGA Tour events this season. He was also a member of the 2019 Presidents Cup team.

For the International team, the biggest surprise was the omission of Matt Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick is ranked No. 15 in the world and has been one of the most consistent players on the DP World Tour over the past few years. He was a member of the 2019 Presidents Cup team and played well, going 2-1-1.
