Though the first tee shot has yet to be hit, the 2021 Ryder Cup has officially kicked off at Whistling Straits.

American captain and home-state hero Steve Stricker shed some tears in his opening remarks, and Team USA arrived looking natty in brown herringbone jackets, while Team Europe opted for understated elegance in navy blue.

The morning foursomes matches have been announced, and all that’s left now is for the real golf to finally begin. In the meantime, enjoy a look back at some of the best photos from the 2021 Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony from Thursday night.
