To say the least, Brian Harman’s 2024 season has not been favorable to him at all. The 37-year-old has yet to win a title since his 2023 Open victory. On the PGA Tour, Harman posted only two top-10 finishes, and at the four majors, his performance was mostly forgettable, finishing 60th at Royal Troon, missing the Masters’ cut, and placing T26 and T21 at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open, respectively. Even at the season-ending FedExCup playoffs, the 1-time major champion struggled, and after a 25th-place finish, missed the TOUR Championship by one spot.

That’s why, Harman was asked about his last PGA Tour event, if the score stuck with him, at the Presidents Cup conference. The 3-time PGA Tour winner agreed and said, “Just the last couple months of the season, it was really frustrating. Just felt like I was in form and just wasn’t quite getting the results that I felt like were coming.” Harman said he ran out of time before showing the better part of his game. Despite playing good golf, he was always missing the big titles by just a few feet; he was the runner-up at the PLAYERS Championship. However, the 2023 Open winner was hopeful that things would align sooner rather than later, as he has been working hard, and that’s how golf usually turns out to be.

So is Harman patient with his game? The truth is far from. Answering that at the press conference, the Savannah native said, “I’m a very impatient person, especially when it comes to my golf game. Just have such high expectations.” Furthermore, Harman added that he has been playing good golf for the past few years, but the 2024 season was an exception, and he could not get it together. However, he relayed that if he had putted well, he could’ve won a few events, saying, “Just been kind of hit or miss.”

More misses than hits for Harman this PGA Tour season, but he has not let his past performances affect him. After learning from the 2023 Ryder Cup, the 3-time PGA Tour winner is ready to face the International Team. But will it be easy for the USA team to win this time?

Brian Harman shares his expectations of the 2024 Presidents Cup

By all means, the USA Team has dominated the Presidents Cup for the longest time. The patriotic event held its first edition in 1994 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia. Since then, the Americans have won 12 editions, tied one in 2003, and lost only one in 1998. The International Team has not won a single edition in the last 25 years, which gives the Americans momentum and a confidence boost.

But Brian Harman does not think that winning the 14th Presidents Cup would be easy. Talking about it, he said, “I expect it to be a dogfight.” And although the International Team hadn’t had many successes at the Presidents Cup, “They’re hungry and they’re going to play with a lot of emotion,” said the 37-year-old. That’s why the USA cannot let their guard down and must play extremely well to continue their streak of victories at the Presidents Cup.

Harman will not play in the Thursday fourball session, and Jim Furyk may start him on the second day. Until then, the 1-time major winner will have more time to sharpen his clubs and without missing it, aim to win against the International Team.
