But everyone has their own motivation for playing, and winning, this week. On the...

Team USA are ready to play on home soil, but they've only won the Cup three times in the last twelve! Team Europe are ready to defend.

After a thrilling end to the Travelers Championship (in the form of an 8-hole playoff!) the TOUR is off to Detroit for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
