Everything you need to know about team golf event as Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry take part

Photograph: Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesJust outside of Rome near the hill town of Tivoli, Marco Simone was designed and built in 1989 by American architect Jim Fazio and first hosted the Italian Open in 1994. However, a few years ago it was totally remodelled by European Golf Design. A parkland course that should suit good drivers of the ball, watch out for the 15th and 16th holes which should prove key.
For Europe, the Scandinavian duo Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Åberg come into the tournament in hot form, Hovland having won the Fed-Ex Cup and Åberg going fourth, first, tied 10th in the three tournaments leading up to the Ryder Cup. Åberg has never played a Major and only turned professional in the summer, so it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure. Jon Rahm is the Masters champion and one of the world’s best, so will likely have a big say on the winner.
