LONDON, England (CNN) -- September's show focuses on golf's biggest team event, The Ryder Cup. We take a look at the golfers who will be teeing off for the U.S. and European teams this time around, as well as looking back at the competition's heritage.
"Living Golf's" Justin Armsden talks to team captains Nick Faldo and Paul Azinger. He gets U.S. captain Azinger's thoughts on a Tiger-less team and takes to the course with Faldo who is leading the Europe team.
The 37th Ryder Cup -- Golf's premier event
The Ryder Cup claims to be the third biggest event after the Olympics and the Football World Cup, and in September, the golfing world will tune in for the 37th edition. On this month's show, we investigate these claims and find out why it has become such a popular event. We also speak to some of the European players that have been so dominant over the past decade and find out what effect Tiger's absence will have on a U.S. team looking for their first victory since 1999.
Exclusive Interview -- Nick Faldo
The European Ryder Cup captain is six-time Major winner Nick Faldo. As a player, he was regarded as ruthlessly single-minded and wasn't the most popular professional. However, he's now charged with the task of managing the European players and being a "team man."
Justin Armsden takes to the course with Faldo at Amendoeira in Portugal ahead of this year's event to get his thoughts on the task ahead.

The Writer's Cup
Since the Ryder Cup has proved such a successful format, there are some in the golf world who say there should be more team events.
In fact, outside of the professional ranks, many more team events do exist, including the Doonbeg Writer's Cup, a Ryder Cup spin-off for the top European and U.S. golf journalists.
Our very own Justin Armsden may be Australian but also holds a British passport and he used this to his advantage for once as he took part in the 2008 competition.
