CHICAGO — 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 U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Jim Furyk and 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup 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.”

Simpson will serve as a captain’s assistant for the second time after previously joining the U.S. Team at the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. A former Wake Forest University standout, Simpson represented the United States in three Presidents Cups

(2011, 2013, 2019), compiling a 5-3-2 record while helping the U.S. Team to victory in each appearance.

“It is a tremendous honor to be asked by Brandt to serve as a captain’s assistant,” Simpson said. “Representing the United States has always been a massive career highlight, whether as a player or in a leadership role. Brandt is one of the most respected players in our game, and I’m grateful for the trust he’s placing in me to help support his captaincy at Medinah.”

The 40-year-old is a seven-time PGA TOUR winner, highlighted by victories at the 2012 U.S. Open and 2018 PLAYERS Championship, and added wins at the WM Phoenix Open and RBC Heritage in 2020. He earned his first title at the 2011 Wyndham Championship and has long been regarded as one of the TOUR’s most respected players.
