371: Presidents Cup Picks Reaction + The 2026 PGA Tour Season In Review

Brandt Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy have set their 2026 Presidents Cup rosters, and Smylie and Charlie break down every pick — starting with the headline move: 21-year-old Jackson Koivun, who was outside the top 40 on points and only a few months into his pro career, getting the nod for Team USA over veterans with far bigger resumes. They get into why the pick makes sense, and what it means for Koivun's career.

Plus: the full US and International rosters for Medinah, the stat-driven case for why Ryan Gerard should've made the team, dream-pairing predictions for both sides, and why Team USA's depth might make this one lopsided on paper. From there, Smylie and Charlie shift into a full 2026 PGA Tour season review — favorite events and storylines, the "old guys" who had big years, feel-good stories, and players who took steps forward and back.
