PRESIDENTS CUP INTERNATIO­NAL TEAM UNVEIL NEW LOGO

-

Internatio­nal Presidents Cup captain Ernie Els unveiled a new logo for his team to unite behind during next year's matches in Australia.

"It's a special group of guys who make this Presidents Cup from all over the world," Els said, "And being from all over the world, you don't quite play for the same flag. A special group of people need something to identify themselves with. So to lift the spirit, bond the team together, we felt we needed a logo for ourselves. We play for our individual flags, but what really bonds us together will be a special logo, something that we know what it's all about."

The black and gold shield figures to replace the Internatio­nals' previously used blue flag with five gold stars, which were meant to symbolize the five continents Internatio­nal team members would represent, excluding Europe and Antarctica.

The shield will also contain within it each player's home flag, as seen here on Els' lapel.
