Henrik Stenson —
The ice-cool Swede earned one of Bjorn's four wildcard picks by virtue of his big-match experience and the level-headed qualities he brings to the team room. Stenson, who beat Phil Mickelson in a classic duel to win the 2016 British Open, has played on four previous European teams.
