A reminder for any fans new to golf or the Ryder Cup itself.

There are a total of 28 points available, with the winners required to reach 14.5.

Europe are the holders following their triumph in Rome two years ago, so 14 points would secure them the trophy even if the competition ends in a draw.

The Ryder Cup is played over three days, with the first two days – Friday and Saturday – consisting of foursomes (alternate shot) and fourballs (better ball).

On Sunday, 12 singles matches are played.

Each match offers up one point, with ties resulting in half a point for each team.
