LEE WESTWOOD will be competing with Team Europe for the 2021 Ryder Cup.

Golf fans are used to Helen Storey, the Brit star's wife, as their caddie. But Sam will be taking the bag at Whistling Straights.

The happy couple got married in Las Vegas, but kept the details a secret.

Westwood shared the news via his Instagram account. He wrote: "Not only here for the hockey!" We confirmed that we were! #VivaLasVegas

Helen Storey is Lee Westwood's spouse.

Helen, originally from Newcastle is a personal trainer and consultant.

After giving Billy Foster a week off, Westwood gifted Westwood his bag and he responded with one his finest performances.

She's been on the links since then and was there beside her man, Lee, as he fought for glory at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational.

She loves to keep her Instagram followers informed about her fitness exploits with regular snaps of and videos from her gym.

Helen also has proven herself handy at a club. Westwood posted a video of Helen striking a fair approach to a Par 3 and Helen proving her worthiness.

He captioned it with "Wow!" Flush! Flush!

She stood by Westwood in Sun City, South Africa as he won his first tournament after the Malaysian Open in 2014. This was his 26th professional event since 1993.

What was the date they started dating?

The pair got together in 2015

They were introduced to each other by Graham Wylie, Westwood's friend and who is also married to Storey's sibling.

Westwood was previously married to Laurae Coltart, whom he got in 1999. However, the couple split three years ago.

Why didn't Helen serve as Westwood's caddie at the Ryder Cup

Westy shared early this year that Sam, his son, would be caddie at the 2021 Masters. Helen, his fiancee, will step aside at Augusta.

He revealed that he was going to take his son Sam to The Players Championship after he fell to second in March's tournament.

He said, "I have a couple of fun days ahead. My son Sam and I will be playing Augusta.

"He was there for me many years ago, but he's now caddying for my this year at the Masters."

Westwood fulfilled a promise he had made for two years by taking Sam with him.

Westwood announced in January 2019 that Sam would be carrying his bag to help him get back into the top 50 and qualify to the tournament.

Sam clearly had an impact on Westwood's game. The British star confirmed that he would be his caddie again at the 2021 Ryder Cup.

SunSport was told by him: "Forget The Masters. This is on a completely different scale.

"Sam is nervous like a kitten, and this is a rare instance of a player trying his best to calm down his caddie. He'll be fine after I hit my first shot.

"It's been an enjoyable distraction for me, and an additional incentive -- not like you need one at the Ryder Cup. What dad wouldn't want his son to be impressed?
