The Presidents Cup is a month away, and Tuesday the teams were announced. It's a welcome break from the FedEx Cup excitement. (To be fair, this year's event has been infinitely more interesting than it was in 2007 or 2008 but still, it's hard to get too worked up about manufactured drama. Well, unless it's wrestling.)
In any event, the International captain, Greg Norman, and the American captain, Fred Couples, were joined by PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem in Washington, DC to name their selections during a televised press conference.
The captains' picks (as well as their comments from the presser -- beware, there's a lot of excitement) are after the jump:
International Team
Ryo Ishikawa. Best part: Norman called him "Ree-yo" when introducing him. Good times.
Adam Scott. "Extremely excited... maybe somewhat unexpected, you know, [since I had] a tough year." Yeah, you don't say.
And they will be joined by:
Geoff Ogilvy
Vijay Singh
Camilo Villegas
Retief Goosen
Ernie Els
Angel Cabrera
Mike Weir
Robert Allenby
Y.E. Yang
Tim Clark
American Team
Lucas Glover, 2009 U.S. Open champion. "Very excited ... and humbled."

And they will be joined by:
