Golf fans may wonder why Jim Furyk and Mike Weir each need a foursome of assistant captains at this week’s Presidents Cup, but at least one of those men, Kevin Kisner, stayed pretty busy on Thursday.

In addition to his normal duties, the four-time PGA Tour winner had words with International assistant captain Camilo Villegas about Tom Kim and Sungjae Im walking off the eighth green early (It looked like Kevin and Camilo made nice after) in their match with Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley. Oh, and then there was the live-tweeting.
As Day 1 at Royal Montreal unfolded, Kisner provided a prediction about his fellow Georgia Bulldog, Henley:
My boy Russ about to start knocking em down

He took a shot at the home crowd:
Can’t believe the fans up here are cheering for a turnover @PresidentsCup
— Kevin Kisner (@K_Kisner) September 26, 2024
He took a shot at one of his pals:
I found @RiggsBarstool but he didn’t have a beer. Weirdo.

And he bragged about being right about Henley, who wound up winning that four-ball match with Scheffler:
Momma, there goes that man again!

Talk about giving fans an inside-the-ropes perspective! Keep ’em coming, Kiz!
PGA Tour pros aren’t allowed to tweet during a tournament round, but we’re assuming it’s OK for Presidents Cup captains. That being said, Team USA being slapped with some sort of social media penalty might be the only thing that will make this event competitive come Sunday.
