Webb Simpson named Presidents Cup Captain’s Assistant

The United States staff continues to add.

We have a month and change before this year’s Presidents Cup gets underway at Medinah and when it does Webb Simpson will officially part of the American contingent.

From Monday’s announcement:

U.S. Team Captain Brandt Snedeker announced today that Webb Simpson will return as the team’s third captain’s assistant for the 2026 Presidents Cup, which will be played at Medinah Country Club’s Course No. 3, Sept. 22-27.

Simpson joins 2024 Presidents Cup U.S. Team Captain Jim Furyk and 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Team Captain Keegan Bradley as captain’s assistants for the U.S. Team. Snedeker has one remaining spot available to round out his slate of captain’s assistants.

“Webb embodies everything you want in an assistant,” Snedeker said. “He has competed at the highest level, has represented our country on various teams and he’s earned tremendous respect from players across generations. His experience as a Presidents Cup competitor, major champion and seven-time PGA TOUR winner gives him a valuable perspective. The guys tend to gravitate toward Webb, and I know he’ll have a strong and positive impact in the team room.”

This is the second instance in which Webb will serve as an assistant for a Presidents Cup team as he was a part of the fold at Quail Hollow back in 2022. Webb participated in three Presidents Cups himself and compiled a 5-3-2 record in the process.
