Presidents Cup: Jim Furyk and Keegan Bradley appointed as assistant captains

Jim Furyk and Keegan Bradley have been appointed as assistant captains for the Presidents Cup.

The appointment of the two gives skipper Brandt Snedeker the current and most recent US Ryder Cup captains help at Medinah this September.

Snedeker succeeded Furyk in the role for the biennial contest, with Team USA chasing a record-extending 11th consecutive victory after their 18.5-11.5 success over the Internationals.

Furyk won in 2024 at Royal Montreal and he was appointed Ryder Cup captain last month. Bradley, who played in the last Presidents Cup, was the losing Ryder Cup captain at Bethpage Black in 2025.

"Both guys have incredible experience as leaders representing the United States and they've each earned the respect of players across generations," Snedeker said.

Snedeker, who won the Myrtle Beach Classic two weeks ago at age 45, still has two more assistants to appoint ahead of the September 24-27 matches at Medinah Country Club.

The Americans have lost the Presidents Cup only once, in 1998, since it began in 1994 against an International team of players from everywhere but Europe.
