The Ryder Cup opening ceremony has been moved forward because of the threat of bad weather in New York.
Storms are forecast to hit Bethpage Black so organisers have moved the traditional curtain-raiser to avoid the event being interrupted.
Both teams – led by Europe captain Luke Donald and US skipper Keegan Bradley – will be formally introduced at the opening ceremony.
But despite the opening ceremony being moved, the pairings for the opening foursomes matches will be announced at 9pm BST on Thursday.
