Dr Pawan Munjal, Chairman and CEO, Hero MotoCorp, said: 'We are delighted to see the best of emerging talent from Europe together with established Major Champions and Ryder Cup stars at the upcoming Hero Cup in January. It is going to be a fantastic week of top class golf and a keen tussle on the course between these two strong teams.'

Donald added: "We all thought it was important to combine experience and youthfulness and I think we have found that balance with a mixture of major champions and Ryder Cup players, alongside guys who are hoping to secure a spot in Rome next year."

One remaining place for each team will be allocated at the end of the DP World Tour calendar year.

The event will take place at Abu Dhabi Golf Club from January 13-15, 2023.
