The 2024 Presidents Cup is about to kick-start on Thursday. Last year, the U.S. Team won the 14th edition, defeating the International Team by a 17.5-12.5 margin at Quail Hollow Club. This year, once again, the American team is ready to continue its dominance in the event. All the players, including PGA Tour Pros Max Homa and Collin Morikawa, have reached the venue for the practice round sessions.
The duo met for the first time back in college and have been close friends ever since. So much so that their friendship has extended off the court as well. This has also made both their wives friends with each other. While they are all set preparing to bring home the trophy, looks like their better halves too, have been bonding online.
Collin Morikawa’s wife, Katherine Morikawa, has been preparing for the NYC Marathon that will take place next month. Additionally, she is also trying to match her steps with every dollar raised for the St. Jude Organisation fundraising. A few hours ago, she took to her official Instagram story and shared a picture of herself in the gym and wrote, “16 miles on the treadmill today.”
