Ryder Cup: The FULL Player Profiles for Team Europe at Whistling Straits
Team Europe have a fantastic mixture of experience and freshness on their side and they are set to take on America in Wisconsin.
Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia and Shane Lowry were chosen, but many golf fans thought that Justin Rose should have been selected for his sixth event appearance.
Nonetheless, they have travelled to Whistling Straits to set upon their preparations and for the likes of Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter, they have seen it all before.
The freshness will come from rookies Lowry, Viktor Hovland and Bernd Wiesberger, while Jon Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick and Tyrrell Hatton will be making only their second appearance.
The Europeans may not match Steve Stricker's US side for PGA Tour wins and major championships, but they will make up for that with their passion and spirit.
