J.J. Spaun won the BMW PGA Championship in Surrey, England, on Sunday after closing with a five-under 67 and birdieing four of his final five holes. He finished at 17 under for the week at Wentworth, two shots ahead of four players including world number two Rory McIlroy and former Masters winner Adam Scott. Spaun began the final round one shot behind the lead and said being denied a captain's pick for the Presidents Cup less than three weeks earlier motivated his performance. US Presidents Cup captain Brandt Snedeker selected Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Chris Gotterup, Jacob Bridgeman and Jackson Koivun instead. Spaun said he had not messaged Snedeker after the victory and that the two had not spoken. The 2026 Presidents Cup, a biennial team golf event matching the US against international players from outside Europe, will be played at Medinah Country Club's Course No. 3 in Chicago. The US leads the competition 13-1-1, with its only defeat coming at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia in 1998.
