The 2026 Presidents Cup moves into its second day with the United States holding a narrow 3-2 lead after Thursday’s four-ball matches. On Friday, Sept. 25, the competition shifts to five foursomes matches where players alternate shots, creating a different dynamic from the previous round.
The first match tees off at 2:05 p.m. ET, featuring Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns for the U.S. against International rivals Corey Conners and Nick Taylor. Their pairing sets the tone for a day that will test teamwork and strategy in this alternate-shot format.
Following closely at 2:19 p.m. ET, Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman take on Sungjae Im and Hideki Matsuyama. Both pairs bring experience and precision, each hoping to tip the balance firmly in their team’s favor.
At 2:33 p.m., American duo Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa face off against Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee. Clark, who has sought to shake off a villain label at this Presidents Cup, will look to make a decisive impact alongside Morikawa.
Justin Thomas and Cameron Young tee off at 2:47 p.m. against International veterans Adam Scott and Christiaan Bezuidenhout. This match will likely draw attention given the mix of established stars and rising talents on display.
The final match of the day begins at 3:01 p.m., pitting Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay against Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim. Both teams have adjusted their lineups after Thursday’s results, aiming to exploit the nuances of foursomes play.
Coverage of Day 2’s foursomes runs from 2 to 7 p.m. ET on Golf Channel, giving fans a full afternoon of alternate-shot action. The Presidents Cup continues through the weekend, with Day 3 featuring both foursomes and fourballs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. The tournament concludes with singles matches on Sunday from noon to 6 p.m., also broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
After Thursday’s close opening session, all eyes will be on Friday’s matches to see which team can break through in this less forgiving format. The Americans hold the lead, but the International team remains within striking distance as the Presidents Cup progresses at a measured pace.
