Including the 2017 match in which Andy Ingram replaced Craig Watson there have been 14 English, 7 Scottish, 4 Welsh and 2 Irish Great Britain and Ireland (GB&I) Walker Cup captains.
Ingram became just the fifth out of the 27 not to have been a previous competitor in the event.
Craig Watson will return to the role in 2019 at Royal Liverpool G.C.
