Team Captains

There was some major star power in the captain's chair for the 2019 Presidents Cup: Tiger Woods for Team USA and Ernie Els for Team International. The two friends and rivals were longtime players in this event. For each of them, it was his first time serving as team captain (although both had experience as assistant captains).

Woods also took the step of playing in the competition. He was the first player-captain since Hale Irwin for Team USA in the 1994 tournament.
