The 37th Ryder Cup tees off in Valhalla, Kentucky this week and you can watch all the action online as the US take on Europe.
See Valhalla golf course in Google Earth.
The foursomes get underway on Friday, September 19 (noon BST) and Radio 5 Live will be covering the event live, while BBC 1 will be showing highlights. You can also catch up with action on the BBC's iPlayer and the official Ryder Cup web site will also be showing streaming coverage from Louisville.
Europe have won the last three encounters between the two continents, most recently in 2006 at the K Club in Ireland.
America will be without world no 1 Tiger Woods who is injured. Woods has said that he will not be attending the premier golf competition, but come the final day on Sunday, no one would discount a visit from the golfing great, to inspire his country men.
Nick Faldo captains Europe for the first time and he has has chosen to go with a youthful team which some critics are labelling inexperienced.
For the Americans and especially captain Paul Azinger the pressure to win is great after three defeats on the trot, the last two by record margins.
