This is the first time three Canadians are on the international team.

Meanwhile, on Team USA, there are six major champions. They are Scottie Scheffler (2022 and 2024 Masters), Xander Schauffele (2024 PGA Championship and 2024 British Open), Collin Morikawa (2020 PGA Championship and 2021 British Open), Brian Harman (2023 British Open), Wyndham Clark (2023 United States Open), and Keegan Bradley (2011 PGA Championship).
