Thousands of people have attended the opening ceremony of the Ryder Cup in Newport.
First Minister Carwyn Jones led proceedings at Celtic Manor and said it was a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to put Wales firmly on the map.
He was joined by singers Rhydian Roberts and Katherine Jenkins.
European team captain Colin Montgomerie and his United States counterpart Corey Pavin also named their line ups for the first day on Friday.
Ahead of the ceremony, Mr Jones said: "Many millions of people will be watching this event around the world and that kind of exposure is proving invaluable to us in developing our reputation abroad for business, inward investment and tourism."
