Luke Donald will take on Bubba Watson in the first of 12 singles matches that will ultimately decide the Ryder Cup.
USA captain Davis Love III opted to put big-hitting Watson out first, followed by close friend and Ryder Cup partner Webb Simpson, who will go head-to-head with Ian Poulter.
Keegan Bradley and Rory McIlroy make up a fascinating third pairing as both captains chose to load the top of their teams with quality in a bid to establish early momentum.
Francesco Molinari has been given the task of anchoring the European side by captain Jose Maria Olazabal, and that means he'll face a rematch with Tiger Woods, who beat him comfortably at Celtic Manor two years ago.
Woods' position is perhaps testament to the fact that he's played the back-nine better than any of his compatriots despite struggling this week, whereas Olazabal has clearly attempted to keep his weaker putters at the back of his pack.
Full draw:
Bubba Watson v Luke Donald
Webb Simpson v Ian Poulter
Keegan Bradley v Rory McIlroy
Phil Mickelson v Justin Rose
Brandt Snedeker v Paul Lawrie
Dustin Johnson v Nicolas Colsaerts
Zach Johnson v Graeme McDowell
Jim Furyk v Sergio Garcia
Jason Dufner v Peter Hanson
Matt Kuchar v Lee Westwood
Steve Stricker v Martin Kaymer
Tiger Woods v Francesco Molinari
