THE Ryder Cup is the biggest team event in golf which this year sees the USA and Europe battle it out for the 40th time.
The action gets underway on Friday September 26 at the famous Gleneagles Course, Scotland, with Europe having dominated the contest over the last few years.
USA have not won on European soil for 21 years - that year the team was captained by this year's leader Tom Watson at The Belfry, Warwickshire.
Europe are this time captained by Paul McGinley who will be looking to retain the cup that the Europeans won under the guidance of Jose Maria Olazabal during the "Miracle at Medinah" in 2012.
Friday morning will start with four fourball matches, followed by four foursome matches in the afternoon.
The same will take place on Saturday, before all 12 players from each side will play on Sunday in the final singles matches.
The aim is to reach at least 14 ½ points at the end of Sunday's matches and the team with the most points will take away the trophy.
On Friday and Saturday the action will take place at 7:35am, with the afternoon sessions starting at 1:15pm.
But the crucial day will be the Sunday, when the singles start at 11:36am and will decide the fate of the competition.
Also, don't miss the opening ceremony on the Thursday evening as the two captains will announce their pairings for the first round of matches.
Coverage will be shown on Sky Sports every day from 7am., with BBC showing highlights each evening of the day's play.
