OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN: BRIDGESTONE CONGRATULATES DAVIS LOVE III ON BEING SELECTED TO LEAD 2012 U.S. RYDER CUP TEAM
Covington, GA. — Earlier today, the PGA of America announced that the newest Bridgestone Tour Team member, Davis Love III, had been chosen as United States Captain for the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club. The biennial battle between the best golfers on the PGA TOUR and the best of the European Tour will take place on the hallowed grounds just outside Chicago, in September of 2012.
With 20 victories on the PGA Tour over a 22 year period, Love is one of only four players under the age of 50 to earn the coveted lifetime Tour exemption. His career is highlighted by a major championship win at the 1997 PGA Championship, two Players Championship victories in 1992 and 2003 and membership on six Ryder Cup teams. In his career, Love earned 11.5 points for the U.S. during the Ryder Cup competition, with an impessive 3-1-2 record in Sunday singles matches. Love joins Fred Couples as the two Bridgestone Tour Team members who have been selected as captain for either of golf’s two most prestigious international team competitions (Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup).
“We’re very proud to have Davis as part of our Tour Team, and this incredible honor is just another tribute to the tenacity and sportsmanship he has demonstrated as a competitor throughout his entire career,” said Dan Murphy, Vice President of Marketing - Bridgestone Golf, Inc. “We know Davis will do the United States proud and we at Bridgestone stand ready and willing to help any way we can during his captaincy.”
