PRESIDENTS CUP 2026 Pairings | Weather, Strategy & Official Picks

The Presidents Cup first-round pairings have been announced, and I break them down in this episode.

Before the pairings come out, we’ll dive into the weather forecast and how the conditions could affect the golf course — and which types of players could benefit most.

Then we’ll break down the strategy behind building pairings in each Presidents Cup format, including how the European statistical model can help identify the best player combinations.

We’ll also look at one of the biggest strategic differences between the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup and how the different formats can change the way captains approach their pairings.

And finally, I’ll reveal The Grid — my official Presidents Cup picks for the entire competition, including my picks for:
• Overall Presidents Cup performance
• Highest American point earner
• Highest International point earner
• Players I’m watching throughout the competition

Join the livestream, bring your questions, and let’s break down the Presidents Cup pairings together as they happen.
