CHICAGO – U.S. Team Captain Brandt Snedeker announced today that Jim Furyk and Keegan Bradley have been tapped as captain’s assistants for the 2026 Presidents Cup, which will be played at Medinah Country Club’s Course No. 3, Sept. 22-27.
“I’m thrilled to have Jim and Keegan join me as captain’s assistants for the 2026 Presidents Cup,” Snedeker said. “Both guys have incredible experience as leaders representing the United States and they’ve each earned the respect of players across generations. Jim knows exactly what it takes to lead a team to victory and Keegan’s competitive spirit and energy will be an undeniable asset for the team. I look forward to leaning on their experience and using them as a sounding board as look toward Medinah in September.”
After winning the 2024 Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club as U.S. Team Captain, Furyk returns in his third appearance as a captain’s assistant, having previously served as an assistant to Jay Haas in 2015 and Steve Stricker in 2017. The announcement continues an impressive leadership trajectory for the 17-time PGA TOUR winner, having recently been selected as captain of the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup Team. In addition to his leadership roles, Furyk brings a wealth of experience inside the ropes having competed in seven Presidents Cups (1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011), compiling a 20-10-3 career record.
“I’m honored to join Brandt and the U.S. Team as a captain’s assistant for the 2026 Presidents Cup,” Furyk said. “It was a privilege to captain our team to victory at Royal Montreal two years ago and I can’t wait to be back with the team and support Brandt in his role as captain. I know firsthand the pride, passion and commitment it takes to represent the United States in this setting. Brandt is a tremendous leader who cares deeply about the players and the team culture, and I’m excited to join him and our players as we prepare for what will be an unforgettable week in Chicago.”
Bradley returns to the Presidents Cup in a leadership role after serving as captain of the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Team. His strong 2024 season included winning his seventh PGA TOUR title at the BMW Championship, earning a spot in the TOUR Championship and a captain’s pick for Furyk’s U.S. Team at Royal Montreal. Bradley has played in two Presidents Cups with a 3-3-1 record, highlighted by his Cup-clinching point in 2024 against Si Woo Kim.
I’m incredibly excited to join Brandt as a captain’s assistant at Medinah this year,” said Bradley. “Representing the United States has always meant a great deal to me throughout my career, and the opportunity to be part of the team in this role is truly special. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Brandt and what he brings as a leader. I’m looking forward to doing everything I can to support him and our players as we work to bring home another Presidents Cup victory on U.S. soil.”
Snedeker’s first two selections to his captain’s assistant committee comes on the heels of returning to the winner’s circle for his 10th PGA TOUR title and first in eight years at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic. Snedeker has two remaining spots available to round out the slate of captain’s assistants.

About Rolex
An unrivalled reputation for quality and expertise. Rolex is an integrated and independent Swiss watch manufacture. Headquartered in Geneva, the brand is recognized the world over for its expertise and the quality of its products – symbols of excellence, elegance and prestige. The movements of its Oyster Perpetual and Perpetual watches are certified by COSC, then tested in-house for their precision, performance and reliability. The Superlative Chronometer certification, symbolized by the green seal, confirms that each watch has successfully undergone tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. These are periodically validated by an independent external organization.
The word ‘Perpetual’ is inscribed on every Rolex Oyster watch. But more than just a word on a dial, it is a philosophy that embodies the company’s vision and values. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the company, instilled a notion of perpetual excellence that would drive the company forward. This led Rolex to pioneer the development of the wristwatch and numerous major watchmaking innovations, such as the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch, launched in 1926, and the Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism, invented in 1931. In the course of its history, Rolex has registered over 600 patents. At its four sites in Switzerland, the brand designs, develops and produces the majority of its watch components. A fifth site, also in Switzerland, is under construction and is expected to open in 2029. Rolex carries out its own manufacturing operations, from casting the gold alloys to machining, crafting, assembling and finishing the movement, case, dial and bracelet. Furthermore, the brand is actively involved in supporting the arts and culture, sport and exploration, as well as those who are devising solutions to preserve the planet.
