Ryder Cup celebrity all-star match: Gareth Bale, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Sainz to feature in Rome

Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin will both serve as playing captains for the All-Star Match in Rome. The match will take place on Wednesday, September 27, and will be held at the Marco Simone Golf Club. This event serves as a prelude to the Ryder Cup, which will take place later that week.

Novak Djokovic, Gareth Bale, and Carlos Sainz will play in the Ryder Cup celebrity All-Star Match this month.

Celebrities from music, movies, and sports will play golf at Marco Simone Golf Club on September 27, a few days before the Ryder Cup begins at the same place.

Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin were both captains at the 2010 Ryder Cup. In this special contest, each team had four celebrities and one of the top two golfers with a disability serving as playing captains.

The Monty team consists of Bale, Djokovic, Fioravanti, Hilbert, and Popert.

“I can’t wait to tee it up in Rome and experience the incredible atmosphere of a Ryder Cup, which has become legendary,” Djokovic said. “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 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.”

Carlos Sainz is part of Team Pavin. Other famous members include former Ukrainian footballer Andriy Shevchenko, Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz, Hollywood actress Kathryn Newton, and winner of G4D Tommaso Perrino.

“I’ve been an avid golfer since I was a kid and the Ryder Cup was always must watch TV,” Newton said. “To get the chance to play Marco Simone right before Team Europe and USA tee off is going to be incredible.

“I’m honoured to play and grateful to be invited. It’ll be nerve wracking, but I’ve got some great teammates alongside me and a great captain in Corey [Pavin].”
