They will face off against Team World, led by Sergio Garcia and featuring football greats such as Dwight Yorke, Patrik Berger, Gabriel Batistuta, Peter Schmeichel and Luís Figo.
John Terry said: “I’m delighted to have had the call up from Lee Westwood to represent Team England at this exciting team matchplay tournament. We former footballers haven’t lost any of our competitiveness, so the Reignwood Icons of Football is a great chance for us to go head-to-head and bring our rivalries to the golf course.
As a member at Wentworth, I’m familiar with the prestigious Reignwood DNA, so I can’t wait to get out to Thailand to see their incredible facilities at Robinswood GC. I’m excited to be representing the England badge again and I know we have the Captain and players to bring home the Icons Trophy, while giving the fans something special and entertaining to watch.”
