Rocío Tejedo from Castellón and Carolina López-Chacarra from Madrid have been selected to be part of the European team that will face an Asia-Pacific team in the Patsy Hankins Trophy, a biennial competition that this time will be held from January 8 to 10 at the Al Hamra Golf Club in the United Arab Emirates.

Both Rocío Tejedo and Carolina López-Chacarra have achieved great sporting success in recent years, distinguishing themselves as two players with enormous international potential. Tejedo contributed to Europe's victory in this same tournament in the last edition in 2023.

Apart from Rocío Tejedo and Carolina López-Chacarra, the European women's team is made up of the Danes Emma Bunch and Marie Eline Madsen, the Irish Beth Coulter and Aine Donegan, the Italians Francesca Fiorellini and Carolina Melgrati, the English Patience Rhodes and Lottie Woad and the Swedes Louise Rydqvist and Nora Sundberg.

The Patsy Hankins Trophy, now in its fourth edition, is named after a prominent New Zealand golfer, notable for her actions in support of women's golf unity.

The tournament's record includes two victories for Asia-Pacific in the 2016 and 2018 editions and one for Europe in 2023.

The competition, inspired by the Solheim Cup format, takes place over three days, with five foursomes matches played in the morning and five fourball matches in the afternoon on the first two days. On the final day, the twelve golfers on each team play individual matches. With a total of 32 points at stake, 16.5 points are needed to secure victory.
