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.

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.
