“This will be a stunning competition,” said Erin Baker. I’m thrilled to be an International captain. Since the Collins Cup was first announced, I was excited to see this compelling forum and particularly the PTO’s commitment to our sport’s ethos of gender equality.

The Collins Cup is an exciting new concept and with legendary Captains Dave Scott, Karen Smyers, Chrissie Wellington and Normann Stadler coming together to help lead today’s top athletes, it should be an epic event. It will be an incredible celebration of our sport, and I am excited and honoured to be a part of it.”
