The Ontario native is currently seventh in the International rankings; the top six automatically make the 12-man roster for the International team. There are also six captain’s picks.

About The Presidents Cup
A healthy slate of golf wagers can be found at Ontario sportsbook apps, but these odds on whether Conners will make the Presidents Cup team are exclusive to OntarioBets.com.
Two years ago, the Quail Hallow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, hosted the Presidents Cup. The Americans won with 17.5 points to 12.5 to earn their ninth straight victory at the event, dating back to a tie in 2003.
This year, Royal Montreal Golf Club will host the event for the first time since 2007. That year, the U.S. team 19.5-14.5 under captain Jack Nicklaus, who led the Americans to a victory over Gary Player’s squad.

Will Conners Play in 2024 Presidents Cup?
Right now, we have Conners as a -1000 favorite to make the 12-man International team in 2024. If he qualifies, it would mark the second Presidents Cup that the 32-year-old from Ontario has played.
Conners tied for 50th at the first event in the three-tournament FedEx Cup, the St. Jude Championship in Memphis. He is No. 33 in the FedEx Cup standings; the top 30 make the Tour Championship. That’s just ahead of his No. 39 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking. The Presidents Cup website has details on rankings for both teams.
The veteran Canadian golfer has three top 10 finishes on tour this year, including a ninth-place finish at the 2024 U.S. Open, his highest finish to date, which could help his chances of playing on home soil this fall.
How Conners Can Make Presidents Cup Team
The 12-man International team at the 2024 Presidents Cup consists of six automatic qualifiers and six captain’s picks. The six automatic picks come from the OGWR standings; the other half-dozen are captain’s picks. Canadian Mike Weir is the captain for the International team this year.
The automatic qualifiers must have competed in at least 15 OWGR qualifying tournaments between Sept. 12, 2022, and the 2024 BMW Championship, which concludes Aug. 26. All ranking points between the start and end times count toward a player’s status for the event.
After the Memphis event, Conners ranks seventh on the International team leaderboard, with 2.5791 points. The six ahead of him are Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama (5.5393), who won the St. Jude title, Tom Kim (3.3465) and Sungjae Im (3.2821) of South Korea, Australians Jason Day (3.0594) and Adam Scott (2.8814) and South Korean Byeong Hun An (2.7930).
Conners can cement his place at the 2024 Presidents Cup by placing well at this weekend’s BMW Championship in Castle Rock, Colorado. DraftKings Ontario Sportsbook lists him at +3500 to win, ranking in a tie for 13th overall.
