The event, scheduled Sept. 16-21 at Valhalla Country Club Louisville, Kentucky, continues the tradition of the event that began following an exhibition match in 192 between a team representing American professionals against a similar one representing the British PGA.

The U.S. has dominated the matches, but not recently. The Americans hold a 24-12 overall series lead with two ties. But the European squad has claimed the last three Ryder Cups and eight of the last 10 meetings.

Here are the rosters for the two squads:

Europe Team
Padraig Harrington, Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson, Robert Karlsson, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Justin Rose, Graeme McDowell, Soren Hansen, Oliver Wilson
Captain’s Picks
Paul Casey, Ian Poulter

United States Team

Captain’s Picks
Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan, J.B. Holmes, Chad Campbell
