Harry Kane will team up with Liverpool midfielder James Milner in the upcoming Icons Series event.
The Tottenham star will join legendary golfer Ernie Els' team alongside Reds veteran Milner in a nine-hole matchplay golf competition on June 30.
The Spurs striker is in the States preparing for the start of the tournament this week
He will play in the Ryder Cup style tournament in New Jersey
Kane, a keen and talented golfer, is also set to be joined by ex-tennis star Ash Barty and boxing icon Canelo Alvarez in the team representing Rest of the World.
On Team USA, golf legend Fred Couples will captain Michael Strahan, Michael Phelps, Oscar De La Hoya and Ben Roethlisberger, among others.
The tournament will take place at golf's iconic Liberty National course in New Jersey, bringing some of the world's most high-profile athletes across different sports to compete in something outside their profession.
Kane has already got his hands on the Icons Series trophy during a trip to the Empire State Building in New York with teammate Barty.
The England captain, who has also spoken about his dream to become an NFL kicker, refused to rule out a future in professional golf.
"I think that's a long way away. You never say never in anything," he said. "I'm off scratch at the moment. I'm way off what the pros are at, at the moment, I know that for sure.
Kane's impressive golfing ability will be on display this week
"I'm concentrating on football. Golf is a great hobby to have to get away from football – especially during the season as well. That's what I use it for at the moment.
"I've got the Icons series in New York at the end of the month which will be good fun, playing under pressure in front of a crowd. It's like a Ryder Cup format where 12 sports stars from the rest of the world play 12 sports stars from America in New York.
"It's at Liberty National. It will be good fun and I'm looking forward to playing."
