Ryder Cup stars Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell and Ben Curtis will all play in next month's World Cup in China.

Poulter will team up with Ross Fisher for England, McDowell will join Paul McGinley for Ireland, while Curtis will partner Brandt Snedeker for the US.

The event, at Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen, is set to start on 27 November.
