Seve Ballesteros is aiming to captain Europe in next year’s Royal Trophy matchplay tournament against Asia.
Ballesteros missed the 2009 event after undergoing surgery to treat a brain tumor.
The dates for the 2010 event were finalized Wednesday. It will be held at the Amata Spring Country Club in Thailand from Jan. 8-10.
“I sincerely hope to captain the European team at the next editions of the Royal Trophy,” Ballesteros said in a statement. “Europe and Asia coming together for the Royal Trophy is very significant and this is a competition that means a lot to me.”
Europe won the 2006 and 2007 events.
