SWEDEN’S Henrik Stenson is scheduled to play in his first European Tour event since joining LIV Golf when he tees it up at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship next week.

Stenson, who won the 2016 British Open at Royal Troon, was stripped of his Ryder Cup captaincy by the European Tour when he opted to join LIV Golf.
