Zola is a former football player and manager.
He was a member of Italy’s 1994 World Cup squad, finishing as runners-up to Brazil, and earned 35 caps for his country.
At club level, he represented Italian sides Nuorese, Torres, Napoli and Parma before spending seven seasons with Premier League side Chelsea, with whom he won two FA Cups among six trophies.
He returned to Italy in 2003, finishing his career at Cagliari, before turning to management, including stints at West Ham and Watford.
He is no stranger to golf, participating in a number of pro-am events on the DP World Tour, while in March, he represented Team World at the inaugural Reignwood Icons of Football tournament.
Molinari, meanwhile, made history in 2018 when he won The Open Championship to become golf’s first Italian major champion.
He has been a member of three Ryder Cup-winning teams (2010, 2012, 2018) and is one of Luke Donald’s five vice-captains, a role he previously fulfilled in 2023.
The role of the vice-captain is to help prepare the team, act as a mentor, and keep the captain up to speed with what’s happening on the course.
