Weir adds three Canadians to Presidents Cup squad

International Team captain Mike Weir on Tuesday named fellow Canadians Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith and Mackenzie Hughes to his squad for this month’s Presidents Cup on home soil at Royal Montreal.
The Canadian trio were added as captain’s picks along with South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout, South Korea’s Kim Si-woo and Australia’s Min Woo Lee to the 12-player team that will face a powerhouse U.S. side from Sept. 26-29 in Montreal.
This marks the first time in Presidents Cup history in which three Canadian players will compete for the International Team.
Of the six captain’s picks, Hughes and Lee are first-time participants, with Kim making his Presidents Cup debut in 2017, and Bezuidenhout, Conners and Pendrith doing so in 2022.
Pendrith earned the first win of his PGA Tour career at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson and had five other top-10 finishes in 2024 while advancing to the Tour Championship for the first time. Conners and Hughes each had three top-10 finishes this year.
In 2024, Bezuidenhout had a runner-up finish at The American Express, Kim had a pair of top-10 finishes and Lee enjoyed the best finishes of his PGA Tour career with matching T2 efforts at the Cognizant Classic and the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
The 2024 edition of the Presidents Cup, a biennial event that pits a U.S. team against a lineup of international players from outside Europe, will be played from Sept. 26-29.
The U.S. are 12-1-1 in the Ryder Cup-style competition with their only loss coming at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia in 1998.
