Immelman: Mixed Presidents Cup idea is ‘disrespectful’ on all accounts

Ernie Els provided the blueprint and laid the foundation for the International Presidents Cup team.

Trevor Immelman has now added a few bricks.

“Eventually this house is going to be built,” Immelman said recently on Claude Harmon III’s podcast. “Eventually we’re going to win this thing.”

Yet, before, during and after his side’s five-point defeat at the hands of the Americans at Quail Hollow, Immelman couldn’t escape the critics, from television analysts to Twitter followers, telling him that the biennial event, in which the U.S. holds a 12-1-1 all-time record, needs an overhaul.

Change the format.
