Teams for the Presidents Cup 2022
The US side has finalized its leadership positions ahead of the competition. Davis Love III was earlier announced as the captain of the US team for the 2022 Presidents Cup.
Following this, Davis Love III revealed that 2021 Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker and Quail Hollow Club member Webb Simpson will join Fred Couples and Zach Johnson as assistant captains.
However, it's pertinent to note that the team will not feature a legendary name in Tiger Woods. Having led Team USA to President’s Cup victory in the 2019 Presidents Cup, the 46-year-old may not be present at this year's event. Woods helped the US team to a 16–14 win in that year's competition.
Meanwhile, the International team for the Presidents Cup 2022 has always seen upgrades. It was announced earlier that South Africa’s Trevor Immelman would captain the side.
Following this, the top eight players from the Presidents Cup International Team points list and four selections made by the captain were taken to populate the rest of the team.
It is pertinent to note that the US Team has won 11 of the 13 Presidents Cups so far. The 1998 edition of the competition held in Melbourne was the only time the international team emerged victorious. Interestingly, the 2003 edition ended in a historic 17-17 tie.
