The Danish skipper will be hoping to win back the famous trophy at Le Golf National in Paris after a humbling defeat at Hazeltine two years ago.
The EurAsia Cup, contested between Europe and Asia, is a slightly less prestigious affair, set to take place in Malaysia this time around.
It is the third time the competition has been held with the first resulting in a tie and the second a huge 18.5-5.5 victory for Europe.
Bjorn has named a star-studded line-up for the 2018 edition - so when will they get underway in Malaysia?
