The 2026 PGA Tour season concluded on Sunday, with Scottie Scheffler triumphing at the Tour Championship held at East Lake Golf Club. His victory solidified his position on the upcoming Presidents Cup team, set to take place at Medinah Country Club from Sept. 24-27.

Scheffler will be joined by automatic qualifiers Cameron Young, Wyndham Clark, Sam Burns, Russell Henley, and Collin Morikawa on Brandt Snedeker's United States squad. With the Tour Championship providing crucial insights, Snedeker now faces the daunting task of selecting his six captain's picks from a deep pool of American talent.

While the next six players based on standings include Chris Gotterup, Ben Griffin, Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun, Justin Thomas, and Jacob Bridgeman, Snedeker expressed his intention to consider a broader range of candidates. He stated that he sees 20-22 players as potential members of the team.

Snedeker emphasized the importance of performance over projections, planning to evaluate players based on:

• Their recent performance
• Their potential capabilities
• Historical consistency

The selection process has become even more challenging following the Tour Championship, especially with Ryan Gerard's impressive third-place finish and the uncertainty surrounding Jackson Koivun, who has made significant strides in his brief PGA Tour career.

Snedeker will announce his final selections at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 1. Ahead of this, CBS Sports is analyzing the players who are likely to make the cut, as well as those who may feel the sting of exclusion.
