United States team captain Davis Love III rounded out his squad for the Presidents Cup after announcing his six picks for the upcoming event in Charlotte.

Love unveiled Max Homa, Billy Horschel, Kevin Kisner, Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, and Cameron Young as the captain's picks for the United States' pursuit of a ninth straight victory.

Homa, Horschel, Morikawa, and Young will make their Presidents Cup debuts at Quail Hollow Club.

The six additions join forces with automatic qualifiers Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, and Sam Burns. The lineup is the youngest in team history, with an average age of 29.6 years old.

The Presidents Cup is a biennial clash between an all-American team and an international squad (excluding players from Europe). The international team lost key players like Cam Smith and Joaquin Niemann following their defections to LIV Golf.

The last Presidents Cup event ran in 2019. This year's edition was rescheduled from 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Webb Simpson, Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson, and Fred Couples will serve as Love's assistant captains.

The Presidents Cup runs from Sept. 20-25.
