The President’s Cup announced that it has chosen its assistant captains for the 2017 matches, as part of a media blitz to promote the biennial matches between U.S. tour players and pros from non-European countries excluded from the Ryder Cup.
United States team captain Steve Stricker named Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and Davis Love III as his assistants. While Team International’s chief, Nick Price, appointed Ernie Els, Tony Johnstone and Geoff Ogilvy.
