While an injury will keep Ian Poulter from participating in the upcoming Ryder Cup, the Englishman will still play a role in the matches at Hazeltine.
European captain Darren Clarke named Poulter as his fourth vice captain on Monday, joining the group of Thomas Bjorn, Paul Lawrie and Padraig Harrington who were all announced last week.
The decision comes days after Poulter, who has struggled for much of this season, announced that he would be sidelined for four months because of an arthritic foot condition.
