Zach Johnson will be served as vice captain by Davis Love III at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.
U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson chose Davis Love III to be vice-captain for the 2023 matches, September 29-Oct 1 at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.
“I’ve been involved in the Ryder Cup since 2006, and I can tell you, without a doubt, that Davis Love III’s passion for the event is unmatched,” Johnson said in a release. “As I thought about the 2023 U.S. Team and those who we’d ask to serve as a Vice Captain, there was no doubt that Davis would be one of those individuals. I will be heavily relying on the experience and insight from DLIII in Italy, as the U.S. Team works to retain the Ryder Cup.”
Love’s Ryder Cup resume includes two stints as captain (2012, 2016) and six appearances as a player.
“The Ryder Cup is one of the truly special events in all of sports, and I am so honored to be named a Vice Captain in Italy in 2023,” said Love in a release. “Zach has worked tirelessly since he was named Captain, and I’m ready to do whatever it takes to help Zach and the entire U.S. Team to win in September.”
Love was the American side’s Presidents Cup winner in September 2022.
The six automatic qualifiers for U.S. team include Scottie Scheffler (Will Zalatoris), Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Cameron Young. It’s unknown if Johnson will be eligible for the event due to his ties with LIV Golf.
