“PRO”FILE – PRESIDENTS CUP CHAMPION

If ever was a time for Team International to win the Presidents Cup, heading into Sunday Singles in 2026 was it. Taking a 10.5-7.5 lead into the final day, the International squad played the best golf by far the first three days. However, a complete collapse on Sunday led to an American victory, 17-13.

Much credit goes to captain Brandt Snedeker, whose six captain’s picks went 6-0 in Sunday singles. Of the three rookies on the team, first-year pro Jackson Koivun was especially impressive with a record of 2-0-1 in his three matches. Just this past spring, Koivun was playing collegiate golf for Auburn University, but quickly made his mark on the PGA Tour when he held off Scottie Scheffler to win the 3M Open on the PGA Tour this past summer. He certainly looks to be the next big star in golf.

As for the International team, they were disappointed but their spirits weren’t dampened, and they will be ready for the next matches in 2028.
