The 39th edition of the Ryder Cup tees off Friday morning at Medinah Country Club in suburban Chicago. Foursomes matches, where two players alternate shots, begin at 7:20 a.m. CT and continue throughout the morning. Fourball matches, in which players each play their ball to the hole and the two-man team takes the best score, are scheduled for the afternoon. For those itching to watch the action but unable to get to Chicago, there are plenty of options.

Friday's matches will be televised on ESPN, beginning at 7:00 a.m. and continuing until the final match ends, approximately 6:30 p.m. Coverage will also be available on ESPN3 and online at Ryder Cup Live. On Saturday and Sunday, the broadcast moves to NBC, starting at 8:00 a.m. Saturday and noon Sunday. Ryder Cup Live will continue to provide streaming video of the event throughout its duration.
