- Now that we've talked about the Ryder Cup for two weeks in a row, it's now time for the President's Cup to get some love. This week, the vice-captains for both teams were announced. Joining Jay Haas is the three time winning captain Fred Couples and the next Ryder Cup captain, Davis Love III. Haas has never been the captain of one of these teams, so surrounding himself with two men who have done it is a great strategy. Joining Nick Price on the International side is the already previously announced KJ Choi, as well as Tony Johnstone and Mark McNulty. McNulty played on two Presidents Cup teams and has the second most wins of all time on the Sunshine Tour. Johnstone represented Zimbabwe in the World Cup eight consecutive years from 1994 to 2001. Both served as vice-captains for Price two years ago, so it appears as if Price isn't going to be changing his strategy much.
- Arnold Palmer has been hampered with some injury issues for the past year, but that will not stop him from continuing his annual role as honorary starter at The Masters. Palmer will hit the ceremonial first tee shot alongside Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Palmer has been in this role since 2004, but it was in jeopardy when Palmer had shoulder surgery a couple months ago.
