The 44th Ryder Cup will get underway later this week - taking place from September 29-October 1 at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Italy's Guidonia Montecelio.
Originally scheduled for 2022, it was pushed back a year after the previous competition was postponed to 2021 due to the global pandemic.
Europe will be hoping to win the cup back from the USA, who registered an impressive 19–9 victory in their home tournament at Whistling Straits.
Scotland will be represented by Robert MacIntyre, with the world number 10 playing in his first Ryder Cup.
He follows in the footsteps of Scotland's Ryder Cup greats - Colin Montgomerie and Bernard Gallacher - who have played their part in some of Europe's greatest moments.
First contested between Great Britain and Ireland and the USA, the Ryder Cup was expanded to include European players in 1979 due to American dominance. It worked, with Europe registering 11 wins since then, including six in seven years.
Here are all 11 memorable wins.
1. 1985 - The Belfry
Europe's first Ryder Cup win (the USA were also defeated in 1929, 1933 and 1957 when they only played players from Great Britain and Ireland) came at the Belfry in 1985. Tony Jacklin captained and Europe's leading scorer was Spain's Manuel Piñero Sanchez with an amazing 4.5 points. The final score was 16.5-11.5. | Getty Images
2. 1987 - Muirfield Village,
Muirfield Village, in Ohio, was the venue for Europe's successful defence of the trophy away from home in 1987. Tony Jacklin once again captained, with Spain's Seve Ballesteros the top scorer with 4 points out of a possible 5. The final score was 15-13 to Europe. | Getty Images
3. 1995 - Oak Hill Country Club
Europe had to wait until 1995 for their next outright win and it was at another away match - at Oak Hill Country Club, in New York state, in 1995. Bernard Gallacher was captaining for a third time, with England's David Gilford the top scorer with 3 points out of 4 matches. The final score was 14.5-13.5 to Europe. | Getty Images
4. 1997 - Valderrama
Two years later, in 1997, Europe were celebrating at home, with a win at Valderrama Golf Club, Andalusia. Seve Ballesteros proved an inspirational captain, with Scotland's Colin Montgomerie providing the most points - 3.5 out of a possible 5. The final score was once again 14.5-13.5 to Europe. | Getty Images
