“I’m thrilled to welcome Trevor back as a captain’s assistant for the 2026 Presidents Cup,” Ogilvy said.
“So many different people have contributed to the International Team, but Trevor has displayed an unwavering commitment to developing the International Team in recent years. His experience as a player, an assistant captain and most notably a captain in 2022 gives him a unique perspective that will be invaluable to our leadership group.”
Ogilvy still has two spots assistant captain spots remaining.
“I am filled with excitement to be back with the International Team for the 2026 Presidents Cup,” Immelman said.
“Being a part of this team, whether it be as a player, a captain or a captain’s assistant, has meant the world to me throughout my career. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue contributing to this team’s growth.
“We have built a strong culture and foundation that everyone associated with the International Team takes immense pride in. I am ready to support Geoff as he leads our players into the 2026 event at Medinah.”
The Presidents Cup will be held September, 24-27 at Medinah Country Club.
