Europe's Ryder Cup stalwart Ian Poulter said everything will be stacked against the holders when the eagerly-anticipated duel with the United States begins at Whistling Straights on Friday.
The 43rd edition of the event, postponed from last year, will have Europe seeking to maintain their recent domination, having won four of the last five Ryder Cups.
"I guess it's a lot more difficult, and it doesn't happen that often, even though we've had the upper hand of that," Poulter, who was inspirational when Europe won a thriller at Medinah in 2012, told reporters on Wednesday. The 45-year-old Poulter has never lost a Ryder Cup singles match and delivered 15 points to the European cause since making his debut at Oakland Hills in 2004. His overall record stands at: won 14, lost six, halved two.
While Poulter knows the Ryder Cup drill, team mates Shane Lowry, Bernd Wiesberger and Viktor Hovland will be making their debuts, while others such as Tommy Fleetwood have never featured in an away match.
