Big Names Missing The Presidents Cup
Who are the notable players to miss out on the US and International teams for the 2024 Presidents Cup?
The Presidents Cup teams are complete, with captains Jim Furyk and Mike Weir adding their six picks to their six automatic qualifiers.
The 2024 match takes place later this month at The Royal Montreal Golf Club, where the Internationals will once again search for their first win since 1998.
Both teams are strong, with the Americans featuring World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and No.2 Xander Schauffele, while the Internationals are headlined by Hideki Matsuyama and Adam Scott.
But what about the names that missed out on the teams? We take a look at some of the notables that won't be playing in the 2024 Presidents Cup...

For the first time since 2016, Justin Thomas has not made a US team, while his close friend Jordan Spieth is out with injury.
Rickie Fowler also did not receive a pick, while Open runner-up Billy Horschel was another to be overlooked, as was 2024 Valero Texas Open winner Akshay Bhatia.

Big LIV Golf names missing from Team USA
Due to the fact that the PGA Tour organizes the match, LIV Golfers are not allowed to play in the Presidents Cup.
That means that 2024 US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau was not considered or Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Talor Gooch.

Big LIV Golf names missing from the International Team
The International Team is arguably affected more by the lack of LIV Golfers, with 2024's two-time LIV winner Joaquin Niemann unable to play. It also means that 2022 Open champion Cameron Smith isn't eligible as well as the likes of Louis Oosthuizen, Dean Burmester and Abraham Ancer.
