Newly turned professional Ludvig Aberg will make his Ryder Cup bow for Europe after being named in captain Luke Donald's six wildcard picks on Monday.

The 23-year-old, who only turned professional in June, won the European Masters in Switzerland on Sunday.

"I have faith in Ludvig - I think he'll be a generational player," said Donald.

Tommy Fleetwood, Sepp Straka, Justin Rose, Shane Lowry and Nicolai Hojgaard have also been picked for the 12-man team to face the United States in Rome.

They join Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton, Matt Fitzpatrick and Robert MacIntyre who claimed the six automatic qualification spots for the biennial match, taking place at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club from 29 September-1 October.

Europe will attempt to regain the Ryder Cup from the United States on home soil following a record 19-9 defeat at Whistling Straits in 2021.
