MONTREAL – International Team Captain Mike Weir has announced Ernie Els, Trevor Immelman, Geoff Ogilvy, and Camilo Villegas as captain’s assistants for the 2024 Presidents Cup, which will be played at The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal from Sept. 24-29.
“I am excited to announce Ernie, Trevor, Geoff, and Camilo as my captain’s assistants for the 2024 Presidents Cup,” said Weir. “The four of them each have their own special history with this event and today’s announcement is a mere formality, as we have been working closely together through the years to ensure the International Team continues its momentum from 2019 and 2022. The culture and close-knit nature tied to this team is foundational to everything we will do heading into Montreal, and I can’t wait to work alongside them to deliver a great week of golf for our players.”
Els, a 19-time PGA TOUR winner, has appeared in eight Presidents Cups and holds the record for most matches won by an International Team player (20). He served as a captain’s assistant to Nick Price in 2017 before being named International Team Captain in 2019. Els unified the team with the creation of the shield and led the team to its biggest lead in Presidents Cup history in 2019.
Immelman, the 2022 Presidents Cup International Team Captain, has been added to Weir’s roster of leadership. Immelman played a pivotal role in the continued development of the International Team following Els’ creation of the shield. He returns to the team for his second stint as a captain’s assistant.
Ogilvy returns to the Presidents Cup for a fourth time in the role of a captain’s assistant. The 46-year-old Australian is looking forward to working alongside Weir and delivering a successful week for the International Team.
Villegas, 42, will return in 2024 as a captain’s assistant. He served in the same capacity in 2022 and is looking forward to working with Weir to prepare the team for the upcoming tournament.
