Snedeker’s Bold Pick: Koivun for Presidents Cup | Pro Golf News

Snedeker shocks the golf world by selecting 21-year-old phenom Jackson Koivun as a captain’s pick for the U.S. Presidents Cup — a bold move that defies tradition, betting on Koivun’s raw talent and future potential over experience. Koivun, who dominated college golf, earned his PGA Tour card early but chose to finish school before turning pro, then made an immediate impact, even facing Scottie Scheffler. Snedeker, impressed after a practice round, sees Koivun as a generational investment — the youngest U.S. player in the event since Jordan Spieth in 2013. Alongside veterans like Schauffele, Thomas, and Cantlay, Koivun headlines a team poised to challenge the Internationals at Medinah, blending seasoned firepower with electrifying youth.
