A star-studded lineup of celebrities from various realms of sports and entertainment has committed to participating in the Ryder Cup Celebrity All-Star Match, set to take place on September 27, just two days before the Ryder Cup commences at the Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome.
Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin, who served as Ryder Cup captains in 2010, will don their playing captain hats for this unique contest. Each team will comprise four celebrities and one of the world’s top two golfers with a disability.
Team Monty boasts the golfing prowess of Temnis world number one, Novak Djokovic, and the athletic finesse of Gareth Bale. Italian surfer Leonardo Fioravanti, content creator Garrett Hilbert, and G4D Tour player Kipp Popert round out their impressive roster.
Djokovic, expressing his excitement, stated, “I can’t wait to tee it up in Rome and experience the incredible atmosphere of a Ryder Cup, which has become legendary. The course looks like a fantastic test of golf, and my playing partner Kipp, a seasoned pro, has won a lot on the G4D Tour recently, so I’m confident we can get a point for the team.”
Bale, who previously experienced the Ryder Cup magic during Europe’s 2010 victory, added, “The Ryder Cup is a special event. Having experienced the incredible atmosphere at Europe’s win in 2010, I can’t wait to experience some of that magic again in Rome in a few weeks’ time.
“The All-Star Match, under the captaincy of Colin Montgomerie, will be an amazing experience, and I’m really looking forward to teeing it up with some great people. It’s sure to be a top event and one the fans will really enjoy.”
Team Pavin, on the other hand, is led by F1 driver Carlos Sainz and also features former professional footballer Andriy Shevchenko, former Super Bowl winner Victor Cruz, Hollywood star Kathryn Newton, and G4D winner Tommaso Perrino.
