Novak Djokovic and Gareth Bale will tee it up at this month’s Ryder Cup – but not for Team Europe.
The 23-time tennis grand slam champion and Welsh football icon will take part in an All-Star match two days prior to the 44th edition of the biennial tournament at Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome, Italy, on September 27. Rather than pitting Europe against the USA, however, the celebrity contest will be fought between teams led by Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin, who squared off against each other as non-playing captains at the 2010 Ryder Cup in Wales.
Former Real Madrid and Tottenham star Bale made no secret of his love for golf during a glittering playing career and won widespread plaudits after a dazzling display at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. “The Ryder Cup is a special event,” the five-time Champions League winner said in a press release. “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.
