Was historic USA comeback in Presidents Cup the worst-case scenario for Ryder Cup?

Andy and Brendan reconvene after an enthralling weekend of golf in the great city of Chicago to recap the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah No. 3. Despite a three-point deficit heading into Sunday singles, Team USA pulled off a historic comeback and defeated the International Team 17-13. The two discuss the strategy decisions made by captains Brandt Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy that shaped Sunday singles and standout performances by players on both teams. They debate whether a close win thanks to singles domination was actually the worst-case scenario for the Americans heading into a road Ryder Cup next year and a Presidents Cup at Kingston Heath in 2028. Andy and Brendan also touch on Scottie Scheffler’s post-match comments to NBC and the evolution of his relationship with the media. Kevin Van Valkenburg joins in to discuss the greater American golf problem and the continued follies of Team USA captains. PJ poses P-Cup superlatives to Andy and Brendan to close out the show as they pick their MVPs, LVPs, favorite holes at Medinah No. 3, and much more.
