Presidents Cup: Check out five pairings we’d like to see for U.S. Team
The Presidents Cup offers a unique opportunity for golf fans to speculate about potential player pairings. Here's a breakdown of five intriguing duos for the U.S. Team at the Royal Montreal Golf Club:
-
Sam Burns/Scottie Scheffler: Despite going 0-3-1 together in recent years, Burns and Scheffler remain top birdie makers, excelling on Par-4s. With Scheffler’s 2024 successes, including eight worldwide wins, this pairing could thrive in Four-ball.
-
Collin Morikawa/Scottie Scheffler: Morikawa, a Foursomes specialist, pairs well with Scheffler’s length and accuracy. Together, their elite iron play and improved short games would provide plenty of birdie chances and consistent par saves.
-
Brian Harman/Russell Henley: Former University of Georgia teammates with similar stats, Harman and Henley are accurate off the tee and strong with irons and putters. Their statistical symmetry makes them a reliable Foursomes team.
-
Max Homa/Sahith Theegala: Homa’s recent ball-striking struggles could be offset by Theegala’s creativity and excellent short game. This combination of resilience and shot-making could work well in both formats.
-
Patrick Cantlay/Wyndham Clark: While Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are a proven Foursomes pair, Cantlay and Clark complement each other in Four-ball, particularly with their contrasting birdie percentages on Par-3s and Par-5s.
These combinations balance skills, chemistry, and experience, giving the U.S. Team versatile options for the Presidents Cup.
