Tom McKibbin, fresh off the back of securing a PGA Tour card, has been selected to represent Ireland and Great Britain in January's Team Cup.
The Holywood golfer has been rewarded for a fantastic 2024, which saw him finish 18th on the Race to Dubai standings and claim a dual card for next season.
Despite not adding to his 2023 Porsche European Open title, he made the cut at the Open and the US Open in his first major appearances.
Tyrrell Hatton is the only LIV Golf player set to compete in the event in Abu Dhabi, which was revived in 2023 to aid the preparation of European players for the Ryder Cup.
The event effectively fills the gap left by the Seve Trophy, which was held eight times between 2000 and 2013 and gave captaincy experience to future Ryder Cup skippers Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal, Nick Faldo, Paul McGinley and Thomas Bjorn.
Francesco Molinari will lead Continental Europe in their defence of the trophy, with Justin Rose captain of Ireland and Great Britain. The final member of each side will be selected after the Nedbank Golf Challenge on 8 December.
Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald said: "This event provided valuable insight for a number of players who eventually made it to Marco Simone, with six of the 20 competitors in 2023 going on to play in the Ryder Cup, three of those making their debut appearances.
"We're excited to see who can make their mark next year as they try and earn a place in my side for New York."
Continental Europe: Francesco Molinari, Nicolai Hojgaard, Rasmus Hojgaard, Matteo Manassero, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, Niklas Norgaard, Thorbjorn Olesen, Matthieu Pavon, Antoine Rozner.
Ireland and Great Britain: Justin Rose, Laurie Canter, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin, Aaron Rai, Jordan Smith, Matt Wallace, Paul Waring.
