Ryder Cup 2023: Europe take on United States in Rome in 44th edition of biennial event

BBC Sport says A shot at redemption. A 30-year unbeaten home record to defend. Galileo’s old stomping ground.

The 44th edition of the Ryder Cup gets under way in Rome on Friday morning as Europe attempt to regain the trophy and avenge their record defeat by the United States two years ago at Whistling Straits.

Luke Donald’s team will be aiming to record an eighth victory in 12 meetings for Europe at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.

The United States’ last victory on European soil was in 1993, when they triumphed 15-13 at The Belfry, in England, with Europe winning the past six tournaments this side of the Atlantic.

The line-ups for Friday’s opening foursomes (alternate shot) pairings will be announced at Thursday’s opening ceremony at 15:00 BST.
