Jordan Spieth, Max Homa and Justin Thomas starred for the Americans in Charlotte, North Carolina last time out and now Canada is ready to host the illustrious competition.

Home favourite and 2003 Masters champion Mike Weir is the International captain this year and has a host of big names at his disposal.

But USA captain Jim Furyk will also have a star-studded team including the best two players in world golf – Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.
