He also served as captain of the triumphant U.S. Ryder Cup team last September at Whistling Straits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the current standings, many of the players on my team at Whistling Straits will be competing in Charlotte and I know we\u2019re all excited to watch these rising stars continue to perform on a global stage,\u201d said Stricker.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson, who is a member of the Quail Hollow Club that is hosting the event, will be serving as a captain\u2019s assistant for the first time after compiling a 5-3-2 record while helping the U.S. Team to victory in 2011, 2013 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Stricker and Simpson join Zach Johnson and Fred Couples, who were named as Love\u2019s first two captain\u2019s assistants in April.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Presidents Cup will be held from Sept. 22-25.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Frank Pingue in Toronto; Editing by Ken Ferris)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2733390\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI710Z5-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI710Z5-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Reuters) \u2013 Tiger Woods will not be an assistant at this year\u2019s Presidents Cup after U.S. captain Davis Love III on Tuesday named Steve Stricker and Webb Simpson as his<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1585505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1585505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1585505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1585505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1585505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
