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.
