Another Ryder Cup is rapidly approaching, with Team Europe looking to upset the United States team at Bethpage Black.
Many European players are playing the BMW PGA Championship this week in a bid to prepare for the event, with Luke Donald potentially giving away his pairings for New York.
He certainly hasn’t changed much from the 2023 Ryder Cup, with Rasmus Hojgaard representing the only new European player.
Hojgaard will replace his twin brother Nicolai from Rome, where the hosts clinched a 16½-11½ victory over the USA.
They will be out to defend their title later this month, a feat the Europeans achieved at Gleneagles back in 2014.
Paul McGinley leads Team Europe to fine 2014 Ryder Cup win at Gleneagles
Europe started a fantastic run in the prestigious competition in 2010, and backed up their win at Celtic Manor with an unforgettable success at Medinah in 2012.
A third successive Ryder Cup title was then clinched in Scotland, with the home side defeating their fierce rivals 16½-11½, the same scoreline as Rome two years ago.

The event was being played in Scotland for the first time since 1973, with America seeking their first away win since 1993.
Fittingly, their Gleneagles captain Tom Watson occupied the same role at that tournament at The Belfry 21 years prior.
Paul McGinley meanwhile was the leader for Team Europe, who had just helped guide his side to back-to-back Ryder Cup victories as vice captain.
How Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy helped Europe win the 2014 Ryder Cup
And it was the Irishman who got the better of the American, with the hosts producing a fantastic display at Gleneagles.
It was as competitive as ever on day one, after which Europe claimed a narrow 5-3 lead, which was extended to 10-6 after day two.
Just four points were required to retain the trophy, but McGinley’s men stepped up in the singles to storm to another title by a winning margin of five.
Englishman Justin Rose produced a superb display as he claimed four points, with Rory McIlroy among the players chipping in with three.
Jamie Donaldson, Graeme McDowell and Henrik Stenson joined him, while Patrick Reed top scored for the travelling team with 3½ points.
Reliable Europeans Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia were among those who also played their part, with the likes of Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk and current captain Keegan Bradley leaving Scotland hugely disappointed.
