( CNN ) -- The U.S. will come face to face with the man who helped inspire the `` Miracle of Medinah '' once more when it faces Europe at the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles . Ian Poulter , the man known as `` Mr Ryder Cup '' will be part of the European side after securing a wildcard pick from captain Paul McGinley . Poulter is joined by Scotsman Stephen Gallacher and England 's Lee Westwood -- but there is no room for former World No.1 Luke Donald . Poulter , 38 , won all four of his matches two years ago as Europe came back from the brink to record an astonishing 14½ - 13½ victory . Westwood , who made his Ryder Cup debut in 1997 , has won 21 points in 37 matches and has appeared in eight editions of the competition . Gallacher , who will be playing in front of his home crowd , finished third at the Italian Open and only just missed out on automatic qualification . McGinley , the European captain , told a news conference that omitting Donald , who boasts an impressive Ryder Cup record , was one of his most difficult tasks . `` It was a very difficult conversation with him for a number of reasons , '' McGinley told reporters ahead of the match getting under way on September 26 . `` My relationship with Luke is very close . He has played in every Ryder Cup I 've been involved in apart from 2008 which we both missed . `` I 've partnered Luke twice in 2004 and 2006 and vice-captained him in 2010 and 12 . I forged a very strong relationship with him . `` His Ryder Cup record is outstanding and he will no doubt go on to make many more appearances in the Ryder Cup . `` It was a difficult call but one I had to do in the interests of the European team . '' Europe will be led by Rory McIlroy , the World No.1 , while it also boasts four of the top players on the planet . Sweden 's Henrik Stenson is joined by Spain 's Sergio Garcia and England 's Justin Rose , while there are also places for Thomas Bjorn , Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell . McGinley 's team will also have two men making their debuts at the competition with Victor Dubuisson of France and Welshman Jamie Donaldson both having qualified .
