MONTREAL — Captain Mike Weir named Ernie Els, Trevor Immelman, Geoff Ogilvy and Camilo Villegas as his assistants on the International Team for the upcoming Presidents Cup.

The best-on-best men’s golf tournament will be played at Royal Montreal Golf Club starting Sept. 24.

Els, a 19-time PGA TOUR winner, has appeared in eight Presidents Cups (1996, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013) and holds the record for most matches won by an International Team player (20). 

He was captain in 2019, leading the Internationals to their biggest lead in Presidents Cup history before falling to a Tiger Woods-led U.S. Team, 16-14, at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia.

Immelman was the International Team’s captain in 2022. He competed in 2005 and 2007.
