Im looking forward to leading our guys into Medinah for what will certainly be an amazing week of golf, said Snedeker.

Representing my country in team competition has been a highlight of my PGA Tour career, and I will lean on those experiences to ensure we are prepared and ready to compete against what I know will be a unified and determined International Team.

Ogilvy, who counts the 2006 US Open among his eight wins on the PGA Tour, takes over at the helm of the International Team after serving as a captains assistant in the last four iterations of the Presidents Cup.

The 47-year-old Australian played on three consecutive International Teams (2007, 2009, 2011),where he amassed a 7-6-1 record.

Since Ernie Els debuted the shield in 2019, the International Teams spirit has intensified and grown as we have rallied around this symbol which embodies our shared ambition and unifies both players and fans, said Ogilvy.

I intend to carry that momentum forward, just as the captains before me have, to build strong support for our international players in the lead up and throughout the event.
