EUROPEAN Ryder Cup players Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter will compete with home favorite Liang Wenchong in a seven-day, seven-city challenge in China next week.
Starting in Shanghai on Monday, the quartet will play two or three holes at eight different courses passing through Zhengzhou, Beijing, Dalian, Chongqing and Dongguan and finishing in Macau.
"Who's going to win? I'm going to win," world No. 23 Poulter said in a news release.
"Sorry, Lee. Sorry, Liang. Sorry, Rory," added the confident Briton who also predicted before his Ryder Cup singles match against American Matt Kuchar last year that he would win and then clinched an important point with a 5&4 victory.
World No. 2 Westwood of England and third-ranked McIlroy of Northern Ireland will be the favorites, with No. 224 Liang the outsider, but Poulter is just looking forward to a unique experience.
"It's going to be fun to jump on a jet between the different cities and have a laugh," said the 11-time European Tour winner.
The world's best golfers will return to China later in the year for the WGC-Champions Tournament in Shanghai from November 3-6.
