The Spaniard captained the first Continential European team in 2000 and beat Colin Montgomerie in singles to help his team win.That was the last time the Continential team won. GB&I has won five in a row and has a great team this year with world No. 2 Lee Westwood, British Open champion Darren Clarke, Ian Poulter and last week's KLM Open winner Simon Dyson.
Since this is the first Seve Trophy without its inspiration, the charge of naming captains fell to Ballesteros' close friend, Ryder Cup teammate and current European Ryder Cup captain, Jose Maria Olazabal.
He tabbed Paul McGinley, who led GB&I to a win two years ago, and Frechman Jean van de Velde, who will guide the Continential European team for the first time.
Westwood, Poulter, Clarke and Dyson will be joined by Jamie Donaldson, Ross Fisher, Mark Foster, David Horsey, Scott Jamieson and Robert Rock.
The Continential European team features three-time winner this year Thomas Bjorn, Nicolas Colsaerts, Anders Hansen, Peter Hanson, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Pablo Larrazabal, Alexander Noren, Matteo Manassero, Francesco Molinari and Raphael Jacquelin, who replaced an injured Alvaro Quiros.
The teams play fourballs, greensomes, foursomes and singles over the four days.
Golf Channel has all four days of action.
