Meet the 12 members of the International Team

It’s time for the 2022 Presidents Cup.

The competition will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina at Quail Hollow Club. The course is a regular stop on the PGA Tour, hosting the Wells Fargo Championship, as well as the 2017 PGA Championship.

Now, some of the best players from around the world, Europe excluded, will come together and look to win on American soil for the first time in the event’s history.

Trevor Immelman, the 2008 Masters champion, is the captain for the International squad, and he has four assistant captains: K.J. Choi, Geoff Ogilvy, Camilo Villegas and Mike Weir.

Here’s a look at the 12 players representing the International team in the 2022 Presidents Cup:

Christiaan Bezuidenhout

Hometown: Delmas, South Africa
Age: 28
Presidents Cup appearances: First

Christiaan Bezuidenhout makes his Presidents Cup debut at Quail Hollow coming off his best year on the PGA Tour yet. Though he’s still winless in the United States, the South African made 20 cuts on Tour this season, half of those finishes coming in the top 25. Since the last Presidents Cup matches in 2019, Bezuidenhout has emerged as a future talent for the International side thanks to a pair of wins in 2020 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and his home South African Open. He also earned a top-20 finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Corey Conners

Hometown: Listowel, Ontario, Canada
Age: 30
Presidents Cup appearances: First

After missing out on the 2019 Presidents Cup, Conners left no doubt about the matches in 2022. The Canadian will make his debut at Quail Hollow for the International side as an automatic qualifier, but he won’t let his title on the team define his role.

“I’m pretty quiet, I guess. I’ll be a rookie, but I’ll try and be one of the leaders on the team, lead more by example,” Conners said after the BMW Championship, “and hopefully play some good golf and let that take care of things.”

Conners hasn’t won since the 2019 Valero Texas Open but he’s a consistently strong player who can get it done in match play, as seen with his third-place finish at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in March and tie for fifth at the BMW Championship.
