Lahiri in running for place on International team for President's Cup

Anirban Lahiri, who has two President's Cup appearances to his name, is once again in the running to make the international team after a superb show at the PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Trevor Immelman, the international team captain for President's Cup, announced his four captain's assistants for the 2022 edition -- Canada's Mike Weir, Korea's K.J. Choi, Australia's Geoff Ogilvy and Colombia's Camilo Villegas.

The four will join Immelman at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina for the September 20-25 event. Lahiri is currently 11th in the standings. The qualification period runs from the 2021 Open Championship to the 2022 BMW Championship.

The team will comprise eight players from the President's Cup international team standings followed by four selections made by the captain, Immelman. Weir will make his third appearance as captain's assistant after serving for Price at the 2017 Presidents Cup and in 2019 for Els. The Canadian has competed in five President's Cups (2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009) and was teammates with Immelman in 2005 and 2007.

An eight-time PGA TOUR winner, Weir is 13-9-2 all-time at the Presidents Cup and one of five International Team members with 10 or more match wins in competition. "In addition to being captain's assistants together in 2019 at Royal Melbourne, I have had the pleasure of being teammates with Mike on two occasions, as well as playing together on TOUR for many years," Immelman said. "The history we share gives me complete confidence in stating that few people work harder than Mike.
