Mike Weir named Presidents Cup assistant captain

Canada’s Mike Weir was one of four captain’s assistants named to the international team for the Presidents Cup.

Weir, South Korea’s K.J. Choi, Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy and Colombia’s Camilo Villegas will join captain Trevor Immelman as the team’s leadership group.

“When I think of highlights in my career that really stand out to me, the Presidents Cup always makes the top of the list,” Weir said. “The camaraderie that continues to grow within this team is irreplaceable. 

“We can all sense the momentum that is building, and it’s been exciting to see Trevor’s incredible dedication and focus on his role.”

The Internationals will face the United States at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., from Sept. 20-25.

Weir will make his third appearance as captain’s assistant after serving for Nick Price at the 2017 Presidents Cup and in 2019 for Ernie Els.
