London (Reuters) - Twelve of the top 50 players in the world rankings will feature in next week's Seve Trophy match between teams from Britain and Ireland and Continental Europe, organizers said in a press release on Tuesday. World number five Henrik Stenson will lead Europe's team captained by Thomas Bjorn at Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche near Versailles, France from September 24 to 27. Joining Stenson will be fellow Swedes Robert Karlsson and Peter Hanson, Danish trio Anders Hansen, Søren Hansen, and Søren Kjeldsen, Spaniards Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, and Alvaro Quiros, and Italy’s Francesco Molinari. Skipper Paul McGinley's Britain and Ireland team includes Englishmen Nick Dougherty, Simon Dyson, Ross Fisher, Robert Rock, Anthony Wall, Steve Webster, Oliver Wilson, and Chris Wood, and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell. "I am about to captain some of the most interesting talents in world golf at the moment and that is a challenge in itself," said McGinley. The four-day competition format is similar to that used in the Ryder Cup. There will be five fourballs on both Thursday and Friday, four greensomes on Saturday morning, four foursomes on Saturday afternoon, and ten singles on Sunday. (Compiled by Sonia Oxley) SportsFrance.
