Sahith Theegala is gearing up to participate in the 2024 Presidents Cup. The biennial event will be held at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from Thursday, September 26 to Sunday, September 29.

Ahead of the event, the official PGA Tour account on X(formerly Twitter) posted a video. In the video, Theegala was asked who he is least likely to give control of the music in his car to. He said,

"Probably Brian Harman. I said that quickly. I'm just stereotyping him as somebody that listens to some deep, deep South country. A little bit of an age gap too. He's basically an old guy at this point. And I like house stuff. I think he would get a headache after about a minute of my music."

Harman is 37 years old while Theegala is 26.

Harman turned professional in 2009 and has three PGA Tour wins in his career. Both Harman and Theegala will be representing the USA for the first time in the 2024 Presidents Cup.

Theegala qualified automatically through his excellent performance on the Tour while Harman was a captain's pick by US Captain Jim Furyk. The USA has a terrific record at the tournament, having won 12 of the 14 tournaments held. The International team's only win came in 1998. The teams were tied at the Fancourt Hotel and Country Club in 2003.

Here's a look at the US team's individual performances in previous Presidents Cups, as well as PGA Tour wins.
