The Ryder Cup returns after a three-year absence on Friday.

The clash between the best men's golfers from the United States and Europe has been dominated by the Europeans lately.

Europe won the last Ryder Cup in 2018 in France, and it has been victorious in four of the last five events dating back to 2010.

The last three Ryder Cups have been decided by wide margins. Europe won the 2018 edition by seven full points. The United States captured its 2016 crown through a six-point victory, and Europe took the title in 2014 with a five-point victory.
