In 2016, The Americans won the tournament comfortably 17-11 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota.

This time around, it is expected to be a lot closer as Team USA are 10/11 favourites to retain the title in France, while the Europeans are 5/4. However, the visitors haven't won on European soil in 25 years.
FedEx Cup champion and world number two Justin Rose is a great shout to be Europe's top point scorer for the tournament at 5/1, while Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy might be worth backing at the same odds.
Spanish youngster Jon Rahm is fired up for his Ryder Cup debut according to several of his teammates, as McIlroy compared him to European legend Seve Ballesteros.
"He definitely has the fire of Seve," said McIlroy. "He's got that passion that the Spanish are known for."

"I wasn't quite as vocal in my first Ryder Cup as he's been, but I wasn't as good in my first Ryder as he is.
"I played 18 holes with him (on Tuesday). He seems to be playing really well. And if we do play together at some point, that would be something I'd really look forward to.
The 23-year-old, who only turned professional two years ago, is third favourite at 7/1 to win the most points for Europe and is 16/1 to win the most points combined for the whole tournament.
Rahm is the second favourite to be the top rookie at 4/1, while American Justin Thomas at 5/2.

Thomas is fourth in the world rankings and has already bagged a major, winning the USA PGA last year. The American won't be fazed by the occasion and it 6/1 to be the visitor's top points scorer.
World number one Dustin Johnson is great odds at 5/1 to be the American hero, while Tiger Woods, who won his first tournament in five years, is 7/1.
Europe to win the tournament by 1-3 points can be backed at 7/2, the American's to be win by the same margin is 3/1.
If you fancy a bet to add a little entertainment to the Ryder Cup, anyone to hit a hole in one is 9/2.
