2024 Presidents Cup teams: Jim Furyk choosing Max Homa over Justin Thomas for the U.S. team is indefensible

Thomas' statistics, ability and foundational presence made him a clear-cut choice for the Presidents Cup

Here's a truth: Justin Thomas should not have been on the 2023 Ryder Cup team. Here's another: Justin Thomas should be on the 2024 President's Cup team. Justin Thomas 16th 13th 5th Brian Harman 14th 11th 13th Max Homa 63rd 34th 18th

While captain Zach Johnson's decision to include Thomas on the United States side for the Ryder Cup in Rome was defensible -- I should know, I defended it at the time -- not picking him in favor of someone like a Keegan Bradley or Russell Henley would have been a legitimate decision given their level of play last fall. 

However, captain Jim Furyk picking Max Homa and Brian Harman over Thomas for the President's Cup in Montreal -- an event the U.S. team has won nine consecutive times -- is actually indefensible.
