Picking insights from past skippers to spur team

It's such a great honour to be captain of the International Team, especially when it is being played in my home country (Canada). As a player and captain's assistant previously, my experiences in this team event have been some of the most memorable of my career.

I've been in a good space with my own game and more importantly, my life to accept this role, and I've been doing everything that I can to make this special for our team.

I've tried to learn from all our past captains, from Nick Price to Ernie Els and Trevor Immelman, and build on what they've incorporated to make our team better prepared. They've been a big part of the Presidents Cup over the years and you know, Ernie is one of the best matchplay players of all time. I've picked insights from all of them that we can implement for our team strategy.

The Presidents Cup matches are pressure packed and push players to play their best every day during the week. The matches test you, not only your physical game, but your mental game too. And then you get to take those experiences forward into your career and individual game and it really helped springboard my golf career.
