The 2024 European Team Championships are officially underway.
546 players, representing 29 countries, will tee it up today at one of five different venues across the continent.
A player from each host nation, Italy, Spain, Austria, Sweden and Poland hit the opening tee shots in their respective countries early this morning.
The first of five days of competition will see players complete 18 holes of individual stroke play qualifying. The five lowest scores from each team's six count, and after a second round of stroke play on Wednesday, teams will be seeded for the match play brackets.
