Starts today - one of sports greatest events.
Spread over three days it builds into a crescendo of emotions by the end of the thirs days singles matches.
Being played in Chicago so the play will start early for us this side of the pond but very much worthwhile following if you can.
News for today’s start
-
Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell will begin Europe's defence when the 39th Ryder Cup begins at Medinah on Friday.
The Northern Irishmen will kick off the foursomes matches at 0720 (1320 BST) against Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker.
Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia resume their unbeaten partnership against Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley.
Lee Westwood and Francesco Molinari take on Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, while Ian Poulter and Justin Rose face Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker.
The one slight surprise for Europe was that Italy's Molinari was paired with Westwood, but Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal defended his decision.
"It might surprise you, but when you look at Francesco's game, he's a steady player," said Olazabal, who played in seven Ryder Cups.
"He's straight off the tee, he hits good iron shots. When I look at foursomes, I want to have players who are consistent and are steady from tee to green."
The European side have won four of the last five Ryder Cups and six of the last eight against the USA, including two years ago in Wales.
