US Presidents Cup players explain how Christian faith builds friendships and puts golf in perspective

Fox News · 2 hours ago

Several United States Presidents Cup players say their shared Christian faith has strengthened friendships within the team, including relationships between Jacob Bridgeman, Russell Henley, Sam Burns and Scottie Scheffler. They say it also helps them keep golf in perspective, reducing the pressure to define themselves by results as the Americans prepare to compete at Medinah Country Club.

Players described Bible studies, Christian fellowship and regular calls as sources of support while travelling on Tour, although no formal team study had yet taken place that week. Burns said his identity rests in his faith rather than match results, while Bridgeman said older players helped him realise that shooting 65 or 75 does not determine his worth; Henley added that his beliefs provide peace and encouragement despite nerves, frustration and anger.
