Brandt Snedeker wasn't afraid to think outside the box.
The U.S. Presidents Cup captain selected former college phenom Jackson Koivun, who won the PGA Tour's 3M Open in just his third start as a professional. Koivun will be joined by a trio of U.S. team stalwarts in Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, as well as Chris Gotterup, who was narrowly on the wrong side of the cutoff for the six automatic selections. Gotterup is one of three rookies added to the team Tuesday, along with Koivun and Jacob Bridgeman.
The 16th edition of the Presidents Cup will be played Sept. 24-27 at Medinah Country Club in Chicago. Here's a closer look at the six U.S. captain's picks.

There's just one round remaining in the 2026 PGA Tour season.
Sunday marks the final day of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where Viktor Hovland is the leader by one shot as he looks to win the FedEx Cup for a second time. But to do so, he'll have to hold off a bunch of heavy hitters, including Ryan Gerard, who's just one back, as well as Chris Gotterup, Ludvig Aberg, Adam Scott and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, all four of whom sit in a tie for third, three shots off the lead.
Keep scrolling to see tee times and pairings, as well as TV and streaming information for Sunday's final round of the 2026 Tour Championship.
Listed below is the full tee sheet for the final round of the 2026 Tour Championship. All times ET.

#final #lake

With five birdies on his back nine and four on the front, Rory McIlroy carved up East Lake Golf Club with his putter throughout Saturday's third round to post a thrilling 7-under 63.
A pair of par-3 bogeys at No. 2 and No. 11 limited McIlroy from tying — and perhaps breaking — the low score of the tournament. It was still a showcase for the three-time FedExCup winner who put together his best round of the week — and beat his previous best mark of the 2026 playoffs, a 6-under 64 during the opening round of last week's BMW Championship.
McIlroy and Round 3 playing partner Si Woo Kim were the fourth pairing off the tee in Atlanta on Moving Day, and now have a long wait as the 11 other duos behind them are still on the course.
His birdie putt on the par-4 17th brought him into a five-way tie with Chris Gotterup, Viktor Hovland, Cameron Young and Ryan Gerard. It also gave him a stretch of three consecutive made birdie putts.
McIlroy went on to par his final hole after his tee shot disappeared off the fairway. He scrambled beautifully and gave himself at a fourth straight circle but would up just right of the cup on his birdie attempt.

It's the 2026 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, where it's all about the numbers. There 30 golfers battling for two trophies and a $10 million first-place prize.
And Moving Day has arrived. Saturday, Aug. 29, is the third round in Atlanta and there are two names tied at the top: Ryan Gerard and Viktor Hovland. Chris Gotterup and Collin Morikawa are hovering a shot back. Sitting two shots back are Cameron Young, who shot a Friday 62, and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
For all the live updates all day long, keep it right here with Golfweek.
Keep tabs on the 2026 Tour Championship leaderboard all day Saturday during the third round.
The field was re-ordered after 36 holes and due to J.J. Spaun's withdrawal, the field is 29 so it's Robert MacIntyre's turn to play solo. Min Woo Lee played most of Thurday solo and shot 62. Cameron Young played alone Friday and shot 62.

#saturday #Friday #Third

ATLANTA — Ryan Gerard hit it well enough for five relatively easy birdies Friday and dropped a surprise from just inside 80 feet for another, giving him a 5-under 65 and a share of the 36-hole lead with Viktor Hovland at the season-ending Tour Championship.
Hovland had one of five birdies on the peninsula-green 15th hole, a par 3 at only 155 yards but tucked to the left near a sharp slope that feeds off the putting surface. He had a 66 to join Gerard at 10-under 130 going into the weekend.
Right behind? Just about everybody.
That includes Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 player who had a 67 and was two back. And it included Cameron Young, in last place after the first round and atop the leaderboard for much of the day after a 62. He also wound up two behind.
Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup each shot 67 and were one behind at 9-under 131.

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler had a reversal of fortunes that few could have predicted on Thursday's opening day of the BMW Championship in St Louis.

#mcilroy #spaun

Rory McIlroy fired an impressive six-under par 64 to headline a five-way tie for the lead on Thursday at the BMW Championship, the second event of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs.
It was a welcome return to form for second-ranked McIlroy, who admitted he felt "lost" in a 66th-place finish at the St. Jude Championship in Memphis last week -- his first start since he finished tied for 40th in the Open Championship.
The six-time major champion was tied for the lead Thursday at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri, with a trio of US Open winners -- Gary Woodland, Wyndham Clark and JJ Spaun -- and Chris Gotterup.
World number one Scottie Scheffler, who was at his imperious best on the way to victory in Memphis last week, was meanwhile far from the logjam at the top.
Scheffler hit just six of 14 fairways and 11 of 18 greens in regulation on the way to a two-over par 72 that featured five bogeys and left him tied for 44th -- just one stroke better than the last-placed trio in the field of 50.

#fitzpatrick

Johnson Wagner believes that while some will vote for Scottie Scheffler to be PGA Tour Player of the Year, the opportunity to opt for someone else for a change will tempt many to look elsewhere.
Scheffler is in an unusual position heading into the FedEx Cup playoffs. Over the previous few seasons, the world number one has been dominant, winning the Player of the Year in each of the last four years.
However, the 2026 season has been a lot tougher for Scheffler. While he won The American Express on his first start of the year, the 30-year-old has failed to add to his tally of victories.
Scheffler has finished second five times. Meanwhile, the likes of Chris Gotterup, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young, and Wyndham Clark have all won multiple times.
There is no question that Scheffler has to be in the conversation when it comes to the Player of the Year.

DETROIT — The final field for the final Rocket Classic is set.
The PGA Tour announced Friday night the 141 players who are committed to teeing it up at Detroit Golf Club next week, when the eighth and final Rocket Classic will be played from July 30-Aug. 2.
There were no major changes with the final list of PGA Tour player commitments, from previous announcements, as the field continues to be highlighted by four players inside the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking, eight in the top 20, 21 in the top 50, and more than half of the top 100. There are 10 major champions. The field is arguably the best in the history of the Rocket Classic, and certainly the best since rival LIV Golf began playing and poaching in 2022.
Headliners include Jordan Spieth, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka, all playing the Rocket for the first time, as well as world No. 3 Cameron Young, No. 5 Russell Henley, No. 7 Chris Gotterup and No. 9 Wyndham Clark, who won this year's U.S. Open. Michael Kim, world No. 57 who shot golf's magic number, 59, at the 3M Open on Friday, also is in.
World No. 24 Ryan Gerard was the lone notable new name on Friday's entry list, while Matt Kuchar was the lone notable absence from the previous commitments.

The 2026 Genesis Scottish Open is far from over.
Dense fog rolled over the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, on Saturday, forcing two separate suspensions in play. Most players in contention will have to return to the golf course early Sunday morning, as the second round resumes at 7 a.m. local time (2 a.m. ET). Then, the final round will commence.
World No. 4 Matt Fitzpatrick was tied at the top of the leaderboard with Michael Thorbjornsen when play was suspended Saturday, but there are dozens still within striking distance, including defending champ Chris Gotterup, reigning U.S. Open champ Wyndham Clark and crowd-favorite Robert MacIntyre, who's looking to win his native national open for the second time in three years.
You won't want to miss the action Sunday. Check out the TV and streaming schedule for the final round of the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open.
ESPN+, 6:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. ET

Heading into moving day, Rory McIlroy and Tom Kim maintain their lead at the 2026 Scottish Open. And thanks to a meteoric rise in the second round, England's Jordan Smith enters Round 3 right alongside them.
Smith birdied four straight holes at the onset of his day Friday, launching a tournament-best round of 7-under 63 that got him to 9 under. His best showing this year was third at the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook during the Florida swing. Meanwhile, McIlroy has continued his dominance at the Scottish Open with his 14th straight round under 68.
Smith's countryman, Matt Fitzpatrick, enters the third round right on his tail at 8 under, tied with Min Woo Lee. Chris Gotterup, Sudarshan Yellamaraju and Scotland's Robert MacIntyre are among those two strokes back, while U.S. Open champ Wyndham Clark sits three off the lead. In all, 24 players come into the day within four shots of the leaders, though reigning British Open champion Scottie Scheffler is not among them, having shockingly missed the cut.

Rory McIlroy hasn't played competitive golf since the U.S. Open last month, but he enters Round 2 of the 2026 Scottish Open tied for the lead. The two-time defending Masters champion won the event in 2023 and has never finished outside the top 5 in three prior trips.
Aided by an eagle to open his back nine (he started on the 10th), McIlroy shot a 5-under 65 in the first round, bringing him even with Patrick Cantlay, Rasmus Højgaard, Tom Kim and Bernd Wiesberger, the 40-year-old Austrian who left LIV Golf for the DP World Tour. Another LIV defector, Brooks Koepka, comes into today's round a stroke behind the leaders, alongside Min Woo Lee, Kurt Kitayama and more.
Scotland's own Robert MacIntyre and Calum Hill are in the running early, as are Wyndham Clark, Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick. Scottie Scheffler and Chris Gotterup are in the mix as well, though they come into the second round closer to the projected cut line. Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, two of the group of active LIV Golfers in the British Open tune-up, will need to rebound today if they are to make the cut.

One shot behind them is a group that includes Brooks Koepka and Min Woo Lee, while big names like world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland and defending champion Chris Gotterup all finished the day in red numbers and remain well within striking distance after 18 holes.

The Renaissance Club hosts second-round action of the Genesis Scottish Open on Friday, with a loaded field of players vying for the top prize from a $9 million purse.
Chris Gotterup is looking to become the first player to successfully defend the Scottish Open crown, Gotterup, who is also going for back-to-back wins after capturing the John Deere Classic last weekend, shot an opening round 2-under 68.
He trails a crowded leaderboard that features Rory McIlory, who was runner-up to Gotterup last year but has won at Renaissance Club before. McIlory shares part of the lead after carding a 65 on Thursday.
Golf Channel will have live coverage of the second round beginning at 11 a.m. ET.

Robert MacIntyre has suggested that he is pleased to have been drawn with Rory McIlroy and Chris Gotterup for the opening two rounds of the Scottish Open, but joked that he may have one problem with his group.
MacIntyre is going to be one of the favourites to win this week at The Renaissance Club. The highlight of his career to date came with his victory at the same venue back in 2024.
Of course, the Scot will also have the majority of the crowd on his side this week at North Berwick. But perhaps there may be some divided loyalties among those who follow his group on Thursday and Friday.
The previous three winners of the event have been put together, with Rory McIlroy and Chris Gotterup also returning to the scene of a previous triumph.
McIlroy produced one of the most iconic shots of his career on his way to winning in 2023. Meanwhile, Gotterup won a lot of admirers with the way he edged the battle with the Northern Irishman 12 months ago.

The PGA Tour has specific events on their calendar which are combined with other entities. The upcoming Genesis Scottish Open, which is also a DP World Tour event, would be a perfect example of these types of events.
The Scottish Open is one of the non-major events where you will see the majority of the game’s best players, whether they are on the PGA or LIV Golf Tours. The Scottish Open isn’t just a full field event, but is also considered the final run-up to the Open Championship, the fourth and final major tournament of the season.
Let’s take a look at the details of the upcoming Scottish Open:
Dates: July 9 -12, 2026

The season-long race to see which players can earn the most cash on the PGA Tour is coming down the homestretch. With more than $550 million in combined purses up for grabs in 2026, there's plenty of money to go around.
Scottie Scheffler concluded the 2025 season by leading the Tour with $27.7 million in winnings, followed by Tommy Fleetwood ($18.5 million) and Rory McIlroy ($17 million). Here's a look at where the top pros stand on the season money list as of July 07, 2026.
Chris Gotterup made a big move by winning the John Deere Classic, jumping six spots into the top 10 at No. 8.

Earnings are accurate as of Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at 6:05 a.m.

Smylie Kaufman has explained why he could see the likes of Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed proving to be ideal partners for Chris Gotterup at the Presidents Cup following his victory at the John Deere Classic this past week.
Gotterup has surely secured his spot on Brandt Snedeker’s team at Medinah in September. The 26-year-old has now won for a third time on the PGA Tour this season.
It was a stunning performance from Gotterup to secure victory at TPC Deere Run on Sunday, with the youngster posting a 62 in the final round to jump to the top of the leaderboard.
It was clearly a mistake from Keegan Bradley to overlook Gotterup for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage last September. He had won the Scottish Open and put himself in contention at The Open Championship.
The Bethpage setup also appeared to be absolutely crying out for a player like Gotterup.

Chris Gotterup was brought to tears on the driving range at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, on Sunday when he got word he had won the 2026 John Deere Classic.
It's not because he is a stranger to winning. In fact, it was his third victory in the last seven months. No, this one spurred extra emotion for the 26-year-old from New Jersey because it was a family affair. His usual caddie, Brady Stockton, is home with a newborn baby, so Gotterup's little brother, Patrick, was called up to the big leagues to carry his kin's bag.
"It's such a cool moment," Gotterup said. "Obviously Brady, who caddies for me normally, had a kid last week, and we kind of planned this out a couple of months ago. [Patrick and I] were just planning on having a fun week and obviously try to come win, but to have it actually happen is cool and just a special moment that we'll never forget."
Gotterup was virtually flawless Sunday, firing a bogey-free, 9-under 62 in the final round to erase the five-shot deficit he faced to start the day. He posted 20-under 264 in total to win by one shot over Max Homa, who finished solo second, and by two over Ben Kohles, who held the lead for much of the day before a disastrous final hole.
"I really felt like I grinded it out this week," Gotterup said. "Today it kind of all came together, but the first three days I didn't have my best stuff. I talked about it earlier in the week that even my not-so-good stuff has gotten a lot better, which is great. Then obviously to come out today and to shoot 9 under was awesome. Definitely not what I had in the cards, but I'll take those cards dealt to me, for sure."

Round 3 of the 126th Open at Shinnecock Hills begins Saturday at 9 a.m. ET.
Dylan Wu and Jacob Bridgeman, who both made the cut at 4 over, will start the day, and leader Wyndham Clark (7 under) and Matt Fitzpatrick (3 under) will be the last out at 3:45 p.m ET.
Below are Round 3 tee times, pairings, featured groups and viewing information for Saturday's action in Southampton, New York.
9:11 a.m.: Chris Gotterup, Eric Lee
9:44 a.m.: Nico Echavarria, Hideki Matsuyama

Saturday's third round at Muirfield Village was suspended at 11:16 a.m. ET due to inclement weather with a dozen pairings yet to tee off.
Chris Gotterup, through eight holes, had the lowest score of the morning at 3 under. The four-time Tour winner moved up 19 spots on the leaderboard before players were sent into the clubhouse. J.T. Poston was the 36-hole leader at 9 under.
Play will now resume at 1p.m. ET.
Poston, who is playing in the final pairing with Ryan Gerard, is now set to tee off at 3:20 p.m. ET. Before them, the penultimate duo of Sam Burns and Tommy Fleetwood will go out at 3:09 p.m.
