Justin Thomas has been left out of the US squad for this month's Presidents Cup while International captain Mike Weir has named fellow Canadians Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith and Mackenzie Hughes to his team.
Thomas, who has played three times in the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup, did not make Jim Furyk's team despite qualifying for last week's Tour Championship where he finished tied 14th. Thomas would have finished seventh if all 30 players in the field started at level par.
Furyk instead named Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, Sam Burns, Tony Finau, Brian Harman, Russell Henley and Max Homa as his captain's picks.
This will be the third Presidents Cup team for Finau, second for Bradley, Burns and Homa while Harman and Henley are making their debuts. The tournament will return to The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Canada starting from September 24-29, live on Sky Sports.
Furyk said Harman, who had three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season, including a tied-second at The Players Championship, and Henley, who had six top-10 finishes, would both bring important elements to the team.
He said: "Throughout his career, Brian has been one of the fiercest match play competitors I've seen and Russell has been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour these last two years."
Lee and Hughes set for Presidents Cup debuts
Weir also picked South Africa's Christiaan Bezuidenhout, South Korea's Si Woo Kim and Australia's Min Woo Lee for his international team. Lee and Hughes will be making their Presidents Cup debuts.
Pendrith earned the first win of his PGA Tour career at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson and had five other top-10 finishes in 2024 while advancing to the Tour Championship for the first time. Conners and Hughes each had three top-10 finishes this year.
In 2024, Bezuidenhout had a runner-up finish at The American Express, Kim had a pair of top-10 finishes and Lee enjoyed the best finishes of his PGA Tour career with matching T2 efforts at the Cognizant Classic and the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
The Presidents Cup, a biennial event that pits a U.S. team against a line-up of international players from outside Europe, will be played from Sept 26-29 in Montreal.
The U.S. are 12-1-1 in the Ryder Cup-style competition with their only loss coming at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia in 1998.
