Fred Couples to vice captain Team USA at Ryder Cup for third time

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson named Fred Couples a vice captain for the 2023 team on Wednesday.

Couples is the fourth vice captain to be selected by Johnson ahead of the matches that are set for Sept. 29 - Oct. 1 at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy. Johnson previously appointed Steve Stricker, Davis Love III and, earlier this week, Jim Furyk. One more vice captain will be announced at a later date.

“Freddie has the unique ability to relate and get along with every player, no matter their age,” Johnson said in the announcement.
