Justin Thomas was left off an American team for the first time since 2016 when Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk went with the next six players in the team standings, a list that included Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley.

International captain Mike Weir also faced tough choices to round out his 12-player roster on Tuesday, none greater than leaving two of his fellow Canadians, Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin, off the team for the Sept. 27-30 matches at Royal Montreal.

Canada will have three players on the International team, made up of countries from everywhere outside Europe.

Thomas had the longest active streak among Americans playing the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup. He relied on a captain's pick for the Ryder Cup last year when he didn't qualify for the PGA Tour's postseason. This time, he reached the Tour Championship but was No. 19 in the U.S. standings.
