Homa, who gained this occasion in 2021 and 2022, may even tee it up this week, wishing his recreation returns. Since lacking the reduce on the U.S. Open, Homa’s outcomes have been putrid, to say the least: T-61, T-70, T-43, 70, T-33.
But, Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk picked Homa to hitch him in Montreal in two weeks, a controversial resolution that really aligns with what Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson did a 12 months in the past. As an alternative of choosing Keegan Bradley, a participant who had a greater summer season, Johnson picked Justin Thomas, a match-play savant and a stalwart inside the American locker room. One 12 months later, Furyk picked Homa, not Thomas, who had lately outperformed Homa by a large margin. Nonetheless, Homa will attempt to use this week to uplift his confidence earlier than the massive tilt towards the Internationals in Canada. Thomas, in the meantime, won’t play this week.
Wyndham Clark is the one different American who will play in each Napa and Montreal. Clark arrives on the Procure Championship after a robust season regardless of his shortcomings within the majors.

Of his six begins on tour this summer season, he solely missed one reduce: the 3M Open in Minnesota. Neal Shipley, who was the low beginner at Augusta Nationwide and the U.S. Open however has since turned skilled, accepted an invitation as properly.
As for non-Presidents Cup members and non-sponsor invitees, Joel Dahmen will look to make some headway in direction of the 2025 season by handing over a strong efficiency in Napa. Dahmen is at present 116th within the FedEx Cup Fall rankings, at risk of falling out of the highest 125, one other important barometer for PGA Tour professionals over these subsequent few months. The highest 125 gamers earn full standing for the 2025 season, whereas gamers ranked 126th by means of a hundred and fiftieth within the remaining FedEx Cup Fall rankings obtain conditional standing.
