“It was just outside the ropes, and I felt like that was a little misunderstanding on my part.”
One of the first things Tom Kim did after tying Sam Burns in his singles match Sunday at the 2024 Presidents Cup was seek out Xander Schauffele and U.S. captain Jim Furyk.
“I think the start of the round was definitely a little harder, but as it got towards the end, it got a little feisty out there. I could hear some players cursing at us. That part wasn’t really — I don’t think there was good sportsmanship there. But it’s all part of the fun. I understand it,” was Kim’s response to a question Saturday after the matches ended.
Come Sunday, Kim and Burns went toe-to-toe, with Kim a little less demonstrative than he had been known to be in his two Presidents Cup appearances. It came down to the 18th, and Kim missed a winning birdie putt to halve the match.
Shortly after handshakes, Kim darted off the green to Fuyrk and Schauffele. He was asked about it Sunday night.
“Yeah, it was just about my comments yesterday. I just told him like, hey, I didn’t mean it to go in such a negative way. If it did, I just said I’m sorry. It was just I felt like what I heard yesterday, some comments that I’ve heard was at that time, just coming off the green, it came to me so personally and just I felt like it was right to share,” Kim said.
“Definitely, I didn’t really at that time, just didn’t think it would be so negative. I really didn’t mean to — because when I played with Patrick and Xander, obviously we’ve battled a few times and they’ve always been such great competitors. They’ve never — I’ve always felt like there’s such a good sportsmanship between us. It was just outside the ropes, and I felt like that was a little misunderstanding on my part, which I should have explained better.
“So I went to him and I said, ‘I didn’t mean it that way. I apologize if it came out wrongly. It was just this and this happened, but if it affected you guys so negatively, I really do apologize. I didn’t mean to do it in that way.’
“This event is all about doing things you would never do and creating energy and doing all these things. If I — I do certain things on the greens when I make putts, and I expect them to do the same thing. It’s all part of the game. It was just about that.”
The next question was about whether he wanted to approach a player and captain, and insisted he wanted to, trying to clear the air.
“I felt like it was right for me to go up and share the way — you know, what the meaning was coming from that comment.”
Schauffele was asked about the conversation Sunday night, too, and he declined to comment, saying if Kim wanted to talk more about the conversation, then he could.
Bradley expressed his doubt whether he can do both jobs.
MONTREAL — It’s 361 days until Sept. 26, 2025 when Keegan Bradley will lead a to be determined 12-man U.S. side against Team Europe at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage.
Until his victory at the BMW Championship, one of three FedEx Cup events, he was planning to learn the ropes as an assistant captain to U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Jim Furyk.
“I don’t know what I would’ve done without being here,” Bradley said. “I learned a lot from Jim and Tabitha this week. It was the best job I’ve ever seen done as captain and the captain’s wife.”
As soon as Bradley was announced as U.S. Ryder Cup captain in July, he said he’d like to be a playing captain if he were to make the team, which would make him the first to do so since Arnold Palmer in 1964. But after experience the crucible of simply being a player and watching Furyk in the role of conductor, Bradley expressed his doubt whether he can do both jobs.
“After going through this, I don’t know if I can, actually. I’d love to but I can’t imagine doing Jim’s job and playing. I don’t know how you can physically do it. I will have great assistants; Brandt will be one of them. I’m going to cross that bridge,” he said without finishing his thought and concluding, “I’m going to have to do some special stuff to get on that team.”
Asked again during the winning team’s press conference, Bradley reiterated what he had said outside on the 18th green in the aftermath of his win in singles.
“I would love to join these guys and play next year. I don’t know how that would ever be possible, but seeing what Jim did, seeing how nervous I was today to play. But I’m going to push that down the road. Like I said, if I make the team on points, I’ll consider playing, but outside of that, I won’t do that because this is really important to me next year,” he said.
“I don’t care about my personal gains of playing in the tournament, I only care about winning the Ryder Cup,” Bradley added. “I think the best way to do that is to let these boys play and let them do what they do. I don’t see it happening, but we’ll see.
“I think it’s arguably one of the most important Ryder Cups the United States has ever had. We’re going to go in there ready to play, and we’re going to go in there to win the Ryder Cup.”
Bradley may have bypassed assistant captain duties at the Presidents Cup to focus on being a player last week, but he still got an inside look and head start on what it takes to be a winning captain.
“We’re going to copy a lot of what Jim Furyk did this week. He set a culture here for us, and we’re going to carry that over into Bethpage, and I hope a lot of these 12 are on that team,” Bradley said.
Furyk is nothing if not a fighter and he formed a plan.
MONTREAL – U.S. Captain Jim Furyk stood at the 18th green late on Friday afternoon when Si Woo Kim drained a 15-foot putt to complete a clean sweep of the five foursomes matches to tie the score at 5-5 in the 2024 Presidents Cup.
“That was a massive putt by Si Woo Kim to make it 0 and 5,” Furyk recalled on Sunday.
At the time, Furyk wore a smirk on his face that said, Really? This cannot be happening again.
After all, as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain in 2018 in Paris, Furyk’s team jumped to a 3-1 lead in the first session only to be swept in the second session. Then the European rout was on. Déjà vu all over again?
Furyk is nothing if not a fighter and he formed a plan. He had been contemplating for as many as four holes, he said, how he was going to address the team and what messaging to deliver.
“It’s easy to buy in when things are rolling; it’s hard to buy in when things aren’t going well,” he explained.
In that moment, Furyk conceived a plan.
“I told the (assistant) captains on the golf course, I think what I’m going to do tonight is instead of standing up and giving a rah-rah speech, let’s lock them all in a room and let’s talk it out,” he said. “Let’s hear what they have to say, what they felt and saw on the golf course.”
They met as a team and Furyk started but he didn’t say much. “I didn’t need to,” he said.
Tony Finau spoke first and Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa – guys Furyk said “aren’t the loudest” – were among those to chime in. One by one, members of Team USA stepped up and shared what they have used in their career to pick themselves up off the mat in their own low-lights.
“In moments like that, if you can be vulnerable and you can share, it really pulls people together,” Furyk said. “Friday night could’ve been a little bit of a panic and it was a very calm night, a very right the ship and let’s get out there.”
The alarm sounded at 3:30 a.m. the next morning, and Furyk and the team climbed on to the team bus to the course at 4:15 a.m. Even before balls were in the air, Furyk knew his team was in a good place.
“The look on their faces coming off the bus on Saturday morning, I was jacked up,” he said.
The U.S. claim three of four points in both the morning and afternoon session to stake the team to an 11-7 lead and seized back all the momentum.
“To see how we all responded spoke to the character of the team,” Finau said. “Today the Cup was won but we really won it yesterday. That’s what separated us, gave us a big cushion and all the pressure was on them to try to beat us.”
It would have been a stain on a Hall of Fame-worthy resume to be a two-time loser as U.S. captain, to be the one at the helm when the mighty U.S. finally went down to defeat to the Internationals. But as the victorious captain of the 2024 Presidents Cup, Furyk sounded a bit like Coach Norman Dale in the movie Hoosiers when he said, “This group is special, they really are.”
MONTREAL — A month ago, Keegan Bradley was sweating out whether he’d qualify for the BMW Championship while planning to serve as an assistant captain to U.S. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk at Royal Montreal Golf Club.
Then he not only made it as the last man in the BMW field, he won the tournament and forced Furyk to use one of his captain’s picks on the 38-year-old veteran who last competed in international team competition a decade ago. On Thursday, Bradley sank six putts of more than 10 feet and teamed with Wyndham Clark during a four-ball session at Royal Montreal Golf Club for a 1-up win.
“It was 10 years of pent up energy, it looks like, of not playing these,” said the fiery Bradley, who was jubilant when his winning putt dropped in. “I just had such a blast out there today.”
But on Sunday morning, he experienced his share of butterflies before his singles match against Si Woo Kim, the hottest player on the International Team.
“I felt like I could throw up,” Bradley said. “I can’t remember ever feeling like that. I was, like, really uncomfortable,” adding, “this morning I woke up and just, like, felt I had electricity going through my body.”
Bradley gave the U.S. side just the jolt it needed. It was only fitting that he should have the honor of securing the clinching point, as the U.S. claimed the 2024 Presidents Cup for a 10th straight time in the biennial competition, winning 18½-11½ over its opponents consisting of a 12-man team from the rest of the world (excluding Europe).
“It’s a fairy tale. It’s a movie almost. I just can’t believe it,” said Bradley, who was named the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain in July. “You just have to work as hard as you can, and good things happen.”
As soon as he won his match, 1 up, over Kim, he looked around for someone to hug, finally finding teammate Russell Henley and then locating his wife for a smooch.
“I was saying all week I didn’t know if I’d ever get to do this again. To just play in this tournament and then to win the point, my goodness, the last time I played, I was the point to lose the Ryder Cup,” Bradley said. “If this is my last round as a player, maybe it is, I’m happy with that.”
He added: “This is up there with as great a moment in my career as I’ve ever felt.”
The U.S. raced to an early lead, sweeping five four-ball matches Thursday, but the Internationals returned the favor with a sweep of Friday’s foursomes to show they wouldn’t go lightly this time. But on Saturday’s double session the U.S. won three out four points available in each session to grab an 11-7 lead. No team has ever trailed by more than two points heading into the singles session and come from behind.

Furyk, who was the losing U.S. Ryder Cup captain in 2018, front-loaded his lineup and his studs delivered, winning 4½ points in the first six matches. On Sunday, the Americans played the first hole in seven birdies and an eagle and added seven birdies at the second for a collective 16 under. “That’s coming out hot,” Furyk said.
Xander Schauffele, the World No. 2, went out first and played 15 holes in 7 under to rout Jason Day, 4 and 3.
“My goal was just to set the tone, get red up on that board as early as possible, and I was able to do that,” Schauffele said.
Sam Burns and Tom Kim traded shots all day, but their match ended tie, the first of the week.
The one early loss was in the third match where Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama made birdies at 14 and 15 and a stellar approach shot on the par-3 17th to edge world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, 1 up.
“The last putt right there I was super nervous,” Matsuyama said. “My hands were shaking a lot.”
Scheffler moved to 1-3 in singles during team competitions and 0-2 in the Presidents Cup.
The next three matches, however, all went to the Americans. Russell Henley, perhaps the breakout star for the red, white and blue, topped Sungjae Im 3 and 2.
“I’m just thankful to be on the team but also to get some points for the team,” Henley said. “It just means the world to me.”
Corey Conners, one of three Canadians on the International Team, was one of the brights spots in singles. He rallied from a 2-down deficit through four holes and coasted to a 5-and-3 win over Tony Finau.
“One of the coolest moments of my career on 13, with everybody, a thousand people around the green singing ‘Oh, Canada’ and to hole a putt like that was really memorable and special.
“The crowds have been behind us, and we really felt their energy,” he said.
Patrick Cantlay, who drained a 16-foot birdie at 18 to win Saturday’s last foursomes match and stake the U.S. to an 11-7 lead heading into singles, earned another point for the U.S. with birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 to pull away from Canadian Taylor Pendrith, 3 and 1.

“It’s great to have teammates and have the best players in the world on my team,” Cantlay said. “This team is so close, and we’ve pulled for each other all week.”
Collin Morikawa (2 and 1 over Adam Scott) and Max Homa (2 and 1 over Mackenzie Hughes) both added full points for the U.S. Wyndham Clark and Australia’s Min Woo Lee tied as did American Sahith Theegala and South Korea’s Ben An. South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout claimed one final point for his side with a 2-and-1 victory over Brian Harman.
While the International side battled to the end, the result was the same, but Tom Kim expressed belief that the International side just needs a few things to go its way next time.
“Winning doesn’t last forever,” Kim said. “There’s going to be one day where it’s just going to be our day. We’ll keep trying. There’s going to be one time when we’re going to hold the Cup, and it’s going to be sometime soon.”
He won’t be looping north of the border this week, but Mike “Fluff” Cowan will act as Jim Furyk’s right-hand man at the 2024 Presidents Cup.
Fluff and the captain of Team USA have been working together for 25 years — the pair split briefly earlier this year when Cowan went to caddie for C.T. Pan on the PGA Tour — and will be side-by-side as they wander the layout of Royal Montreal Golf Club over the next four days.
Cowan told our Adam Schupak last month he underwent surgery on his left hip and was hoping to be recovered enough to be Furyk’s cart driver at the biennial event.
That isn’t the only reason Furyk chose Kisner to be one of his lieutenants. “I think the fact that he’s playing out here, doing television work out there, he’s very aware of their games and personalities, he even knows the other team, right? I know our team pretty well. Having Kis out here, he’s very well aware of everyone’s games,” Furyk said.
When the U.S. captain phoned to ask Kisner to take on the role, Kisner said he took “two seconds” to sign on.
“I didn’t even look at the calendar where I was going to be or anything,” Kisner said. “I actually kind of messed up. I was supposed to be in Colorado on an elk hunt and so I had to bail on that, but I’d rather do the vice captaincy. I can hunt any year.”
Kisner did television for NBC during the three FedEx Cup playoff events, which allowed him to spend time with the players who qualified for the team and get a better sense of who they wanted to round out the squad. Kisner also played the Procore Championship last week and took part in Furyk’s team dinner, which included fellow assistant captains Stewart Cink and Brandt Snedeker.
“I’ll do whatever Jim wants me to do and I’m happy to be a part of the team. I love being a part of a team,” he said. “I miss the team atmosphere, team sports growing up. That’s all I did, and I can’t wait to do whatever I can to help.”
But he may be preoccupied beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday (along with Brian Harman). That’s when his alma mater, the University of Georgia, kicks off against Alabama in a SEC showdown.
“In ’17 I asked to sit out in the afternoon,” Kisner said, “because Georgia played Tennessee. (Captain Steve) Strick(er) is like seriously? I’m like, ‘Yeah, man, that’s my squad.’ ”
Neither an elk hunt nor a Bulldogs game will keep Kisner from doing all he can to ensure the U.S. retains the Presidents Cup. In Napa last week, he joked, “I might be able to work on my game if Furyk would stop calling me.”
Someone has to make sure Team USA stays loose and there’s no one more capable of that job than Kisner.
“I was honored to get the call from Jim and thrilled to accept this role.”
Brandt Snedeker, the 2024 recipient of the Payne Stewart Award, is joining Jim Furyk’s United States Presidents Cup roster as a captain’s assistant. Snedeker, who will serve as one of Keegan Bradley’s vice captains next year at the 2025 Ryder Cup, played in the 2013 Presidents Cup (2-3-0 record).
“I was honored to get the call from Jim and thrilled to accept this role as one of his captain’s assistants for the Presidents Cup,” Snedeker said in a statement. “He’s someone I’ve looked up to throughout my career and I know will be a strong leader for the U.S. Team at Royal Montreal. My goal is to add a trusted voice to our players throughout the week and do everything I can to help us pull out the win.”
The nine-time PGA Tour winner joins Kevin Kisner, Stewart Cink and Justin Leonard in the assistant room.
“I enjoyed competing together with Brandt at the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah,” Furyk said in a statement. “He is a fierce competitor, great teammate and one of the most respected players on the PGA Tour. He will provide a steady voice in the team room, and I will rely on him for insight and advice as we lead our 12 players into Montreal at the end of the month.”
The Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal will be played Sept 27-29.
There will be 11 members of the two teams in all at the Silverado Resort.
The first event of the PGA Tour’s 2024 FedEx Fall is the newly renamed Procore Championship in Napa Valley, where both sides of the upcoming Presidents Cup will be heavily represented.
There will be 11 members of the two teams in all at the Silverado Resort, Sept. 12–15, including both team captains.
U.S. captain Jim Furyk will be on site and while he’s not playing, there will be plenty of strategizing between him and three of the guys on his roster: defending tournament champ Sahith Theegala, two-time event winner Max Homa and Wyndham Clark. In addition, two of Furyk’s assistant captains, Kevin Kisner and Stewart Cink, will be playing in the event.
Cink, who recently won his first PGA Tour Champions event, won in Napa in 2000 when it was called the Safeway Championship. It was later called the Fortinet Championship until this season. This year marks the 11th straight season Silverado has hosted a PGA Tour stop.
On the International side, captain Mike Weir, one of only six International Team members with 10 or more wins in the Presidents Cup, will be playing as will one of his assistant captains, Camilo Villegas. Players on the International roster teeing it up in Napa are Min Woo Lee, Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes.
Other tournament commitments include Webb Simpson as well as Joel Dahmen and three rising stars in the game: Luke Clanton, the top-ranked amateur in the WAGR who posted three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour in 2024; Neal Shipley, the low amateur at the Masters and the U.S. Open; and Wenyi Ding, formerly of Arizona State and the Pac-12’s Player of the Year last season. All three are playing as sponsor exemptions.
The full list of entries was released Friday evening.
The Procore Championship is the first of eight Fall Series events on the PGA Tour. It’s the last event before the Presidents Cup, to be held in Montreal, Canada, Sept. 24–29, at The Royal Montreal Golf Club.
Certainly, Tiger would have told Furyk, in his own special way, “You’re taking JT, right?”
Zach Johnson’s captaincy of the 2023 U.S Ryder Cup may have ended in colossal disappointment – a lopsided defeat at the hands of Team Europe – but it gave birth to one unforgettable line: “You don’t leave JT at home.”
That was Johnson’s response to his decision to make Justin Thomas, who was mired in a slump and didn’t even qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs last year, a captain’s pick for his 12-man team that represented the U.S. at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.
Jim Furyk, who is back for a second tour of duty as U.S. Presidents Cup captain after losing in that role in 2018 in France at the Ryder Cup, must have missed the memo because he decided to go with Brian Harman, Max Homa, Russell Henley, Tony Finau, Sam Burns and Keegan Bradley.
It led Golf Digest’s Shane Ryan to frame his question to Furyk during a press conference on Tuesday perfectly: “A year ago everybody was asking Zach Johnson how could you possibly have taken Justin Thomas. Now I’m asking you how can you possibly have left Justin Thomas off the team?” he said.
Thomas still hasn’t returned to the winner’s circle but he managed to record five top-10 finishes this season and shot the seventh-best gross score at the Tour Championship last weekend, a tournament that Homa didn’t even qualify for. The fact that Thomas was 19th in points is irrelevant other than he failed to qualify automatically for the top 6 and put himself in a position where he needed a pick. (The whole reason for allowing picks is so the captain doesn’t have to take Nos. 7-12 in points based on two years of performance in stroke play for a match-play competition and yet Furyk selected Nos. 7-12.)
In Furyk’s defense, Thomas is far from playing like the two-time major winner and former world No. 1 and maybe the analytics that are treated like state secrets screamed that Homa or Henley were the better puzzle pieces — in Furyk’s parlance — but Thomas’s game still matches up against the best and its trending in the right direction of late. Plus, he’s got the “It factor” in match-play events.
Furyk’s reply to Ryan’s question was largely a non-answer so let’s move on but he did give a better explanation on Golf Channel for his decision, saying of JT, “He’s a great team room guy, He’s going to play on a ton of these teams in the future as well, and one day be a captain and a great one. Tough omission, but I had to take the 12 guys I saw fit.”
I tried really hard to make sense of why Furyk passed on JT, a player with a 17-7-4 lifetime record between the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup, not to mention a team leader who can be the spark in the locker room. Furyk put him out first in singles in 2018 when he was captain and JT delivered by downing Rory McIlroy. And yet he didn’t want that guy on his team.

When it was my turn, I asked Furyk an array of questions hoping to bring some clarity but he downplayed any of the possible plausible explanations I could fathom. Furyk’s mistake in making captain’s picks in 2018 was picking players that weren’t a good fit for Le Golf National, with its thick rough that demanded precision over power off the tee. Did he learn from his mistake by passing on JT because he wasn’t a good fit for Royal Montreal? No.
“I see him as a little bit of a chameleon. I think he’s a smart player. I think he can change. If the golf course had asked for us to hit the ball straight and get it in the fairway and get it in play, he can do that. If it asks you to bomb away and power is more important, I think he does it,” Furyk said. “It has a bearing and a weight on it. I think present form has a bearing and a weight. I think your history has a weight. I think there’s a lot of things that go into it.”
Did he pass on JT because his BFF and partner for life, Jordan Spieth, had failed to make the team and had undergone surgery to repair a wrist injury last week? They have become a bit of a package deal, although their form at the 2023 Ryder Cup should have future captains reconsidering if they are going to be a modern-day Seve-Ollie for the U.S. side.
“No, zero. Zero. I think JT has the opportunity to pair with a lot of different guys and also be a leader, if that makes sense. Take the young guy under his arm,” Furyk said shooting down this latest attempt to make sense of it. “We don’t happen to have that many rookies on this team, when you look at it. I think Sahith and Russell are two guys that haven’t played either on a Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup team. We have a lot of veteran status, but JT — I realize I didn’t pick him, but I’m not going to say anything but great things about the guy because I love him to death.”
In an interview with Furyk a week earlier, he eluded to the fact that Tiger Woods would have some sort of behind-the-scenes role without really specifying what that would be. Had he discussed the captain’s picks with Tiger, who loves to obsess over this stuff?
“No, I did not,” Furyk said. “Tiger and I have been friendly over the years, but I didn’t give him a call to talk about the picks at all. I think the last time that he was — correct me if I’m wrong. I think Australia is probably the last time he sat in as one of the captains, I believe. I’m sure Davis leaned on him a little bit for Charlotte, but from afar.”
Certainly, Tiger would have told Furyk, in his own special way, “You’re taking JT, right?”
Even Johnson knew it: “You don’t leave JT at home.”
But at least Furyk didn’t snub the only Canadian to win the Canadian Open in nearly 60 years like Mike Weir did. What in the name of hockey was Weirsy doing in leaving Nick Taylor off his team, eh? The fun part is we get to see it all play out in just over three weeks in Montreal and then we’ll know if there was any method to these captains’ madness.
Mike “Fluff” Cowan had surgery on his left hip on Tuesday and is recovering at home, using a walker to get around the house for now.
“I ignored it and tried to work my way through it but it was time,” he said of the surgery.
Eventually, it became clear that he had to go under the knife. Fluff, 76, ended a 25-year run as caddie for Jim Furyk in May and joined C.T. Pan on the PGA Tour but it was a short-lived arrangement.
“To summarize it,” Fluff said, “it didn’t work out.”
Fortunately, Furyk hadn’t hired a permanent replacement and had been relying on his son, Tanner, who was ready to enjoy his own summer adventures before returning to college. Fluff reunited with Furyk in late June at the Dick’s Open on PGA Tour Champions.
Fluff’s hip already was bothering him and he suffered through the U.S. Senior Open but only lasted one day at the Kaulig Companies Championship in Akron, Ohio.
“He was hobbling and in a lot of pain and he went home,” Furyk said. “He had to bite the bullet and it was inevitable that he had to get it done.”
On June 2, at the RBC Canadian Open, Fluff’s final event on the bag for Pan, he slipped on the wet grass during the fourth round and cut his hand and was replaced first by a fan and then by another caddie. At first, Fluff thought the hip injury was unrelated to the fall but now he’s not so sure.
“In my head I don’t think it did,” he said, “but I have no way of knowing.”
Ricky Winn, a longtime caddie who has bumped around between bags and is friendly with Fluff, has been filling in on Furyk’s bag.
Fluff also has worked for Peter Jacobsen and Tiger Woods during a career spanning nearly 50 years during which he became as famous and recognizable with his fluffy moustache as some of the players.
Fluff has a follow up appointment scheduled for Sept. 11. His goal is to be mobile enough to be Furyk’s cart driver at the Presidents Cup in Montreal, Sept. 27-29.
“Who knows? It’s a process and it’s just begun,” said Fluff when asked when he might be back by Furyk’s side. “I’m hoping to be able to work the Furyk & Friends event in October (4-6).”
Furyk has battled his own myriad of injuries, which has limited him to 11 starts on the Champions Tour this season. Hopefully, they can both get healthy enough for another successful run that has already included the 2003 U.S. Open, a 58 and a 59 and nearly 20 victories between the two tours.
“I’m still working for Jim but I can’t work,” Fluff said. “I hope I have another year or two in me.”
