American golfer Brandt Snedeker and Australia's Geoff Ogilvy have been named captains for next year's Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago, the PGA Tour announced Tuesday.
The 16th Presidents Cup will be played Sept. 22-27, 2026, at Medinah Country Club's Course No. 3.
"Just very humbled, kind of shocked, to be honest with you," Snedeker said in a conference call with reporters Tuesday. "I got the call a couple weeks ago. Trying to wrap my head around what this is going to look like and then what this is going to entail. Just super honored, super humbled to be leading this team and be part of this great history of the Presidents Cup and the captain that came before me."
The U.S. team has dominated the Presidents Cup since its inception in 1994, with a 13-1-1 record against the International team, which includes golfers from around the world outside of Europe.
The American squad won 18½-11½ at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada in September in the most recent edition.
"It's a humbling thing. It's a great honor," Ogilvy said. "I'm really looking forward and excited for it. Medinah is a place where we've done a lot of work, my company the last two, three years. It's exciting. It's clearly an away game, but it's exciting to be on a course that I've come to know really, really well the last few years."
Snedeker, a nine-time winner on tour, competed in the 2013 Presidents Cup and was a captain's assistant in 2024. He'll serve as a vice captain in this year's Ryder Cup, which will be played Sept. 25-28 at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York.
"Brandt is a proven leader on and off the golf course, from his years representing the United States in team competition to building a family foundation benefiting children in his home state of Tennessee," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. "I know he will be a tremendous captain and asset for the U.S. team in 2026."
Ogilvy, 47, was a three-time competitor for the International team in 2007, 2009 and 2011. He was an assistant captain in each of the past four biennial events.
Ogilvy's golf course design firm, Ogilvy, Cocking and Mead, oversaw a complete renovation of Medinah Country Club's No. 3 Course in 2022 and 2023, adding new holes and rerouting existing ones.
"Geoff Ogilvy is the perfect captain to lead the International Team into Chicago in 2026, drawing on both his great history with the Presidents Cup and a vast knowledge of Medinah," Monahan said. "Geoff will capitalize on the upward trend of the International Team, where we have seen a passionate level of support from players and fans over the years. With his pedigree as a major champion and experience in the team room, Geoff was primed to take on this role for the 16th edition of the event."
