Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood are excited to make their captaincy debuts as they prepare to lead their respective Continental Europe and Great Britain & Ireland teams at the inaugural Hero Cup at Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
The duo, who forged an exceptional partnership at Le Golf National in 2018 in contributing four points from four towards Team Europe's triumph in the Ryder Cup, will compete as playing captains this week as they go head-to-head by leading two teams which each contain an exciting mix of Major Champions, proven winners and some of the most promising young players in golf.
"I think both Tommy and I are lucky this week that we have really two good groups of professionals and guys who are motivated," said Molinari. "They all come here trying to get ready to play some good golf, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and that obviously makes our job a lot easier.
