The 2008 Masters champion named Christiaan Bezuidenhout as one of his six picks and he is the only South African in the team.

Immelman’s other picks are Australia's Cam Davis, South Korea's Si Woo Kim and K.H. Lee, Colombia's Sebastian Muñoz and Canada's Taylor Pendrith.

Speaking to OFM Sport from Florida, Immelman said that Bezuidenhout is one of the best putters on the PGA Tour.

“The other thing that I've really liked about his game since he has been playing more here is the US, is his putting.

“It really is a weapon and he has been in the top six of the strokes-gained average over the last few seasons out on the PGA Tour.

“That for me is extremely impressive when you consider that a lot of these golf courses, he is playing for the first time, so he doesn't have all that much experience on the green-complexes.”

The 2022 President’s Cup between the International team and the USA will be played from 22 September.
