ROME — Novak Djokovic will replace his tennis racket with a golf club when he competes in an all-star match ahead of the next Ryder Cup outside Rome.

Djokovic, Formula One driver Carlos Sainz and footballers Gareth Bale and Andriy Shevchenko are among those named to take part in the September 27 event by Ryder Cup Europe on Wednesday.

“I can’t wait to play in Rome and experience the incredible atmosphere of a Ryder Cup, which has become legendary,” said Djokovic, a 23-time Grand Slam champion who is currently competing at the US Open.

Actress Kathryn Newton and Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz were also among the teams that will be captained by former Ryder Cup captains Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin.

The Ryder Cup will take place from September 29 to October 1. 1 during Marco Simone.
