Scottish rock band Texas is set to tee-off the Solheim Cup at Gleneagles.
The band will be headlining the opening ceremony of the golfing competition, which will take place at the Perthshire resort on September 12.
Thousands are expected to descend on Gleneagles for the opening ceremony, on the eve of the biggest event in women’s golf.
Texas will be the highlight of a whole day of live music and family entertainment.
Sharleen Spiteri, Texas’ singer, said: “It’s great to be performing at this iconic venue in the heart of Scotland supporting sporting success.
“It’s wonderful to have such a prestigious event held at Gleneagles and we are proud to be asked to perform at the opening ceremony of the Solheim Cup.
“I would like to wish both teams good luck and look forward to watching the competition.”
Texas are touring the UK and Europe this summer, and their performance at the Solheim Cup will be their penultimate stop of the year.
Paul Bush, director of events for Event Scotland, said: “We are delighted to have Texas at the opening ceremony.
“They are a huge name with massive global appeal, and they are popular with a very wide range of ages which is perfect for the family-orientated nature of the Solheim Cup.
“The atmosphere will be electric and everyone is incredibly excited to see this show-stopping day unfold.
“It will be the perfect start to what promises to be a truly world-class event.”
Tickets to see Texas and the other live acts at the Solheim Cup opening ceremony costs £35, and are free for those under the age of 16.
Reserved seating can also be bought for an extra £20.
