Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has revealed the players who will take part in a much-anticipated warm-up event for next year’s showdown in Rome.
The Hero Cup will take place in Abu Dhabi in January and will be contested by teams from Great Britain and Ireland and their continental European counterparts.
Earlier this month Donald announced the two teams would be led by captains Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari.
Now 18 other players involved, including some of the hottest prospects in European golf as well as Ryder Cup veterans, have been announced.
