Geoff Ogilvy looks to European Ryder Cup model for International team success

International team captain Geoff Ogilvy is implementing a new organizational strategy to improve performance ahead of the upcoming matches at Medinah Country Club. The team, which historically struggles against the United States, is adopting methods inspired by the European Ryder Cup squad to foster greater internal cohesion. Players are now engaging in consistent group activities, including shared meals and joint practice rounds, to build rapport between participants from different countries. Ogilvy noted that the team held a group outing at the Chicago-area venue last year to familiarize themselves with the course. This shift aims to move the squad away from functioning as a collection of individual stars and toward a unified unit. The 16th edition of the competition is scheduled to begin in late September.
