Stricker and Simpson named Presidents Cup assistants

Davis Love III has named Steve Stricker and Webb Simpson as his final two captain's assistants for the United States team at next month's Presidents Cup.

Stricker and Simpson join Fred Couples and Zach Johnson, who were previously named assistants.

Love will captain the USA team and South Africa's Trevor Immelman will lead the International team at Quail Hollow from September 22-25.

Stricker, 55, captained the Americans to a one-sided Ryder Cup victory over Team Europe last year.

"Steve has been a great friend to so many players on the PGA Tour throughout the years, and I know that camaraderie he brings to both the golf course and the team room will be incredibly valuable in September," Love said.

"As we look at this youth movement on the US team, having Steve as a trusted ally in tense situations is something I know our players will lean on."
