The European Ryder Cup squad facing the United States this week at Whistling Straits were given a reminder of the select company they are in by way of an inspirational video shown to them.

The video shared on social media points out that 164 men have represented Team Europe in Ryder Cup play while 5,780 people have climbed Mount Everest, 570 have been to space, 445 have won the soccer World Cup and 225 have claimed golf majors.

"So that showed you how difficult it really is. That's why every time I'm a part of a team or the rest of our team mates, that's why we give it the respect that it deserves, because it's so difficult to be a part of it." "It's a small collection of people that have played for Europe in the Ryder Cup," said Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, who made his Ryder Cup debut in 2010.

The video was shown to the 12-member European team on Monday by captain Padraig Harrington in a bid to put in context the rarity of taking part in the event.
