Congrats to Taylor Pendrith, another Canadian lad to win on the PGA tour.
Pendrith joins fellow winners Nick Taylor, Corey Connors, Mackenzie Hughes, Adam Hadwin, Adam Svensson currently on the tour. Fantastic

Not that we have any big stars, but there is more depth. I think the group of them have 7 wins in the last 5 years. Solid, but I'm not sure about "golden".

Nice to see Pendrith finally get his win -- he had some great results a few years back, getting on to the Pres Cup team but struggled after that (partly injury related) As a group they are doing OK this year - last year was the shining one in terms of getting wins.

It will be interesting to see how many make the President's Cup team in 2024, since it is at Royal Montreal.

Here are the current rankings based on OWGR (top 6 in OWGR are automatic). Weir than gets 6 picks.

1. (15) Matsuyama
2. (23) Tom Kim
3. (24) Jason Day
4. (26) NIck Taylor
5. (32) Byeong Hun An
6. (34) Min Woo Lee

Those that will likely be considered by Mike Weir for his 6 choices. I bolded who I think will get them. The number of Canadians that will get in I think is dependent on what Weir does what 2 LIV players. Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann will have likely met the minimum qualifications to get in (15 "official OWGR) events the last 2 years. If they go LIV, I think 5 of the 6 spots go to Smith, Niemann, Connors, Hadwin, Scott. Hughes, Pendrith, Im, Kim would probably fight for the last one. If no spots go to LIV, then you probably get a 4th Canadian at the President's Cup.
7. (38) Sungjae Im
8. (44) Si Woo Kim
9. (46) Emiliano Grillo
10. (49) Adam Hadwin
11. (52) Corey Connors
12. (53) Adam Scott
14. (56) Cameron Smith
15. (58) Taylor Pendrith
19. (69) Mackenzie Hughes
22. (83) Adam Svensson
26. (91) Joaquin Niemann

TBH, it does not seem like a particularly strong international team.

I'm not sure if this team is much weaker than it has been in recent years. It's always a big mismatch.
The international team has not been strong for at least a dozen years. (always far weaker than the US and Europe)

You have to go back to about 2005 to find where the International team was at the same level as the US. The 2003 team had 8 players in the world top 20 (4 in the top 7... Vijay, Goosen, Weir, Els). Now it has one... technically without LIV they would probably have 3.

Golden as in Canadian men are winning on a frequent basis and always seem to be in contention eg both Connors and Pendrith are T7 after 2 rounds at the Wells Fargo.
