The Ryder Cup returns THIS WEEK, and the European team hopes to defend its title on American soil.

Luke Donald's team has already arrived in New York, preparing for the start on Friday.

Europe has dominated this prestigious competition in the 21st century, winning eight out of eleven meetings since 2002.

However, only two of those victories have occurred in the USA, as the USA team won in 2021 and 2016.

In fact, the European team has only one victory out of four Ryder Cups held in the USA: in 2012, since they last won in 2004. This is why the USA team is the bookmakers' favorite.
