In this week's Rosaforte Report, the reported selection of Tiger Woods and Ernie Els as Presidents Cup captains for 2019 evokes memories of their putting duel in South Africa in 2003; Peter Kostis talks about Paul Casey and the virtue of aggressiveness; Patrick Reed justifies his sartorial homage to Tiger Woods and Liezl Els reflects on a decade of raising money for autism research.There were no pretenses to Ernie Els being in the team room for the International side in last years Presidents Cup. Els told me at Liberty National last fall that he would like to follow in Nick Prices footsteps and become the next International captain.Im up for it, Els said. It would be a dream job.Making it even more of a dream is that Els gets to match strategies with Tiger Woods, his opponent in the all-time greatest moment in Presidents Cup history their epic putting duel at Fancourt, South Africa, in 2003. The score was tied, 17-17, when Woods and Els began a sudden-death playoff. They halved the first two holes, and daylight was fading when Woods sank a 15-footer and Els dropped a 6-footer on top of him for another halve. Captains Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player decided to let the competition end in a tie.While Els, who brings mojo with three victories and a course record (60) to Royal Melbourne. was a lock for his captainship, there is some second-guessing over Woods' selection. With a second-place finish on Sunday at the Valspar Championship in only his fourth tournament after back fusion surgery, it is foreseeable that Woods could make the 2019 team. Potentially, that could make Woods the first playing captain since Hale Irwin went 2-1 in a 20-12 victory over the Internationals at Robert Trent Jones GC in 1994.As Nick Prices protg, Els brings cachet as a hall of famer and experience in eight Presidents Cups. Like Price, hes extremely popular among his peers.Like Pricey, hes a players guy. He mixes with all of us, said fellow South African Louis Oosthuizen. I think he will be an amazing captain.Els told me that remaining current with players is important, and to that end he will be playing more of an international schedule over the next two years as part of the education process with new players. As Els said about last years Presidents Cup, spending time with the boys, looking at the competition more as a captain than a competitor for the first time, was quite an education.

"Yeah, definitely," said Marc Leishman. "My first Presidents Cup [in 2013] compared to my second Presidents Cup [in 2015], I feel like we bonded earlier that week as a team.
