Pressrelease
Vincent Norrman och Madelene Sagström är de senaste svenska stjärnorna som bekräftats att de kommer att spela på hemmaplan i Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed, den 6-9 juni.
Tvåfaldige DP World Tour-vinnaren Norrman kommer att återvända till tävlingen för första gången sedan 2021, då han slutade på en 14:e plats på Vallda Golf & Country Club, och Sagström spelar tävlingen för andra året i rad efter att ha slutat delad 12:a förra året.
"Jag är verkligen glad över att ha fått möjligheten att få in det här evenemanget i mitt schema", säger Norrman. "När jag är baserad i USA får jag inte möjligheten att komma tillbaka så ofta som jag skulle vilja, så jag ser fram emot att spela inför hemmapubliken igen.
"Det är en riktigt intressant tävling och det har varit några svenska framgångar tidigare. Jag skulle älska att få med mitt namn på den listan och vinna en tävling till"
Trefaldiga Solheim Cup-stjärnan Sagström tillade: "Jag hade en fantastisk upplevelse i Sverige förra året. Atmosfären var olik allt jag har upplevt på en golftävling innan och det är fantastiskt att få möjligheten att tävla mot killarna från DP World Tour.
"Vi har visat under de senaste åren att vi är mer än kapabla att gå head-to-head med dem och jag tror att vi alla ser fram emot att få en ny möjlighet att göra det om några veckor."
De båda ställs mot landsmännen Alexander Björk, Linn Grant, som skrev historia 2022 när hon vann tävlingen, Johanna Gustavsson, Caroline Hedwall, Jesper Svensson och Sebastian Söderberg i Helsingborg.
Officiella World Ranking-poäng kommer att tilldelas på båda tourerna, liksom Race to Dubai-poäng för herrarna och Order of Merit- och Solheim Cup-poäng för damerna.
