The 16-team field for the Grant Thornton Invitational was finalized and announced Wednesday.

The mixed team event will take place Dec. 8-10 at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, and essentially replaces the QBE Shootout, which held its 34th edition last year.

Six teams had already been announced, but the remaining 10 teams are highlighted by the Swedish duo of Ludvig Åberg and Madelene Sagstrom. Åberg’s caddie, Jack Clarke, is Sagstrom’s fiancé.

Here is a look at the field, which will compete for a $4 million purse:
