Among those who will not be on the team are Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Billy Horschel, and Akshay Bhatia.

It is the first President’s Cup team that has not featured either Thomas or Spieth since 2012. Thomas, who has had disappointing seasons over the past few years, seemed primed for a spot considering his upswing in 2024, which featured an appearance at the TOUR Championship, which included a good finish.

Spieth is less of a surprise, as he revealed he is recovering from wrist surgery to repair damage that has caused his game to truly drop off over the past two seasons.
