TEAM EUROPE
The following players have been chosen to represent Team Europe at the 2026 Cairns Cup.
The San Roque Club, Sotogrande, Spain
11th – 18th July 2026

Kris Aves – Non-Playing Captain
England
I began playing with friends and work colleagues since my mid 20s. Sadly, I was injured during the 2017 Westminster bridge terrorist attack and was left paralysed and in a wheelchair. Thanks to the golf trust I was introduced to disability golf and now play regularly using a Paragolfer. To be asked to represent Europe as Vice-Captain for 2 consecutive events is a great honour and just shows what can be achieved with hard work and determination especially if you have a great support network, whom I can’t thank people enough.

Charlie Appleyard – Vice-Captain
