The 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome gets underway Friday morning with four foursomes matches, the first going off at 1:35 a.m. ET — good luck to everyone setting that alarm.
On Wednesday, however, it was time for the celebrities to battle it out.
Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin are the two captains, and including them, there are six players on each team. On Team Montgomerie are Gareth Bale (football —or soccer to the Americans — legend), Garrett Hilbert (Dude Perfect member), Leonardo Fioravanti (Italian surfer), Novak Djokovic (tennis legend) and Kipp Popert.
Team Pavin consists of Andriy Shevchenko (former football professional), Kathryn Newton (American actress, best known for her role as Cassie Lang in Marvel’s Antman series), Victor Cruz (American football legend), Carlos Sainz (F1 driver) and Tomasso Perrino.
