Ryder Cup reunion at BMW Masters in Shanghai
The team spirit that recently brought Europe its eighth victory in 10 Ryder Cup matches at Gleneagles will be put on hold when the stars of the show set off in pursuit of the BMW Masters title at Lake Malaren, Shanghai, from Oct 28-Nov 2.
In what will be the opening event of the European Tour's Final Series - four events culminating in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai - nine players from Europe's all-conquering team will line up alongside the mastermind of their triumph, captain Paul McGinley, and two of his vice-captains, Jose Maria Olazabal and Miguel Angel Jimenez.
As world No 1 and the winner of two major championships this year, Rory McIlroy might be the most high-profile player in the field but his Ryder Cup teammates Graeme McDowell, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, Thomas Bjorn, Ian Poulter, Victor Dubuisson, Stephen Gallacher and Jamie Donaldson will each be looking to claim bragging rights.
