Hero Cup Teams Announced

Two 10-man teams will compete in fourballs, foursomes and singles, with every player competing each day. The contest aims to give potential 2023 Ryder Cup players leadership and playing experience in team matchplay events. Among the Continental Europe team are Alex Noren, Thomas Pieters and rising star Rasmus Hojgaard.

For Great Britain & Ireland, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry, Rob McIntyre and Matt Wallace will compete in Abu Dhabi.
