Europe captain Luke Donald hopes the inaugural Hero Cup will provide the ideal \u201cstepping stone\u201d towards regaining the Ryder Cup in September.<\/p>\n
Donald is overseeing the event in Abu Dhabi along with playing captains Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari, with two 10-man teams competing for Great Britain and Ireland and Europe in foursomes, fourballs and singles.<\/p>\n
The competition effectively fills the gap left by the Seve Trophy, which was held eight times between 2000 and 2013 and gave captaincy experience to future Ryder Cup skippers Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal, Nick Faldo, Paul McGinley and Thomas Bjorn.<\/p>\n
