Spoiler Alert
Billy Horschel already knows one player who won’t be getting a Presidents Cup Captain’s Pick: Billy Horschel

On Tuesday, Jim Furyk will reveal his captain’s picks for the 2024 Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club. Both PGA Tour pros and average joes await word on the final roster additions, but Billy Horschel, despite some strong play to end the season, is not among them. Why? Because Billy Horschel already knows that Billy Horschel has not been picked for the team.
On Tuesday's edition of Fairways of Life, Horschel let the cat out the bag, revealing that he got the call from Furyk on Monday informing him he wouldn’t be part of the U.S. team in Quebec later this month. For most, a phone call like that might ruin their Labor Day cookout, but Horschel, with his typical candor, seemed to take it in stride.
“Jim’s a great friend, he’s been an unbelievable role model for me,” Horschel told host Matt Adams. “I didn’t expect to make this team. I knew I was way down the list. I know I made a little push at the end. Listen, it hurts because Jim’s a good friend … I wanted to make this Presidents Cup team because he is the captain, but it’s not in the cards for me this year. I’ll play really hard next year and hopefully be part of the Ryder Cup and Keegan’s team next year.”
Furyk will announce his full selection of Presidents Cup captain’s picks live on Golf Channel between 1-3 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 3rd.
