Golf's big team contest, the Ryder Cup, sees Europe take on the United States for one of sport's most coveted trophies.
Schedule: 2008 Ryder Cup
The 2008 event takes place from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 September at Valhalla in Kentucky.
MATCHPLAY
This is the scoring format used in all Ryder Cup matches.
It means each hole is decided in isolation, rather than strokeplay, which is the cumulative scoring method used in most golf tournaments, including all four majors.
Europe captain Nick Faldo and United States skipper Paul Azinger
Nick Faldo captains Europe and Paul Azinger skippers the United States
In other words, the scores from every hole are not added together to make up a player's total score in matchplay.
The holes are played individually and whoever takes the fewest shots wins that particular hole.
If the players on opposing teams have the same low score, the hole is halved.
Once the match is completed, a point is awarded to the winning team. Where matches finish all-square with no-one leading, a half point is awarded to each side.
