Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy, captain of the International team for the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club, thinks his side has been making headway in the biennial matches the past few years in a way that is reminiscent of the European team when it was inching closer to defeating the American squad in the early to mid-1980s.
The Internationals’ ability to hang in there was largely due to a Herculean contribution from the four South Korean members of the team at Quail Hollow.
Picture this Australian Open field next year: Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler, among a host of other international stars inside the world’s Top-50 rankings.
Tiger Woods and Ernie Els are headed to Melbourne as captains of the USA and International Teams respectively for the 2019 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne Golf Club from December 9-15.
