Min Woo Lee is donning the International Team black and gold for the first time at this week’s Presidents Cup, but it’s his haircut that has everyone talking heading into the biennial event at Royal Montreal Golf Club.
Let’s just say Rickie Fowler would be proud.
Lee, 26, has yet to win on the PGA Tour but totaled eight top-25 finishes in 18 starts this year, including a pair of runner-ups (Cognizant Classic and Rocket Mortgage Classic). The Aussie’s solid 2024 resume was good enough to earn one of Mike Weir’s captain’s picks, and the Internationals are hoping he can bring some youthful energy to the team.
He’s off to a good start.

At the 2014 Ryder Cup, a then 25-year-old Rickie Fowler shaved “USA” on his head before the battle at Gleneagles.
The Presidents Cup gets underway Thursday with a four-ball session with the first tee time slated for 11:35 a.m. ET.
