Stenson, the world No. 7, leads the way along with the 25th-ranked Karlsson. World No. 8 Sergio Garcia will pair with Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano on the Spanish team, 10th-ranked Rory McIlroy will lead the Irish team alongside Graeme McDowell, and 12th-ranked Martin Kaymer will join Alex Cejka for Germany. England features two top-25 golfers in No. 13 Ian Poulter and No. 20 Ross Fisher.

Other than Karlsson and Stenson, the only players in the field who have won a World Cup are South Africa's Rory Sabbatini, who won with Trevor Immelman in 2003, and Wales' Stephen Dodd, who was victorious with Bradley Dredge in 2005. Sabbatini will play with Richard Sterne this week, while Dodd will team with Jamie Donaldson.

The United States is represented by Nick Watney and John Merrick.
