Andy Sullivan and Chris Wood to represent England at World Cup of Golf

Chris Wood says he's looking forward to representing England in the World Cup of Golf

Andy Sullivan and Chris Wood will represent England at the World Cup of Golf this month.

The pair will play after Danny Willett's withdrawal with a back injury last week and Justin Rose's decision not to feature as he is still recovering from his own back problem.

Rose's call to turn down the invite allowed Wood to commit to the event and he selected Sullivan - who made his Ryder Cup debut for Europe this year - as his playing partner, meaning Lee Westwood, who was due to play with Willett, will no longer feature.

"It's great this year that it has gone back to the original format of foursomes and fourballs," Wood told Sky Sports News HQ. "Hopefully me and Sulli can gel well and try to spark a little Ryder Cup performance." 

The tournament takes place at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne from November 24-27, with 28 two-man teams representing their countries.
