Jayson Shaw is back for Team Europe ahead of this year’s Mosconi Cup in Las Vegas
Jayson Shaw has been confirmed as the first wild card pick for Team Europe at the 2022 Mosconi Cup with Tyler Styer returning for Jeremy Jones’ Team USA.
Scotland’s Shaw comes into the Mosconi Cup as a two-time MVP, claiming the crown in the last two editions of the transatlantic tussle between Europe and the USA.
‘Eagle Eye’ will head to Las Vegas looking to write a further chapter in an already storied career having been picked by Team Europe captain Alex Lely.

“It’s amazing to be back in the team again. I am super excited to be picked,” he said.
“Alex Lely has a lot of experience with me on the team and I believe my leadership in the last few years with the team has been amazing. I am super excited and cannot wait to join back up with the team. It’s a great feeling to represent Europe for the seventh year.
“It’s been tough the last few times we’ve played in Las Vegas. I know it will be amazing. I have great memories and some bad ones. The memory that sticks out most for me was winning and when I played Shane (Van Boening) and beat him and went to stand.”
“When it comes to taunting the American fans and getting them riled up, I love it. This is what the Mosconi Cup is about. It’s about getting in their heads. I am the man for that job. I like to get in their heads before it’s even started, and this year is no different. Get them all hot and bothered, and get under their skin. Get them frustrated, get them to hate me. The more hate I get, I love it. It brings out the best of me at the Mosconi Cup”

Meanwhile, Styer will return to Team USA as captain Jones looks to lead his American side to glory for the first time since 2019 with Van Boening, Oscar Dominguez, and Skyler Woodward already on the sheet.
