Luke Donald will remain Europe’s Ryder Cup captain for the 2025 tournament at Bethpage Black in New York after masterminding this year’s victory, team bosses announced on Wednesday.
The Englishman has been reappointed after the 16.5-11.5 win over the United States in Rome in October, after which Europe’s players urged him to break with recent tradition and lead the side again.
The 45-year-old is Europe’s first repeat captain since Bernard Gallacher performed the role in 1991, 1993 and 1995 and will attempt to become only the second skipper after Tony Jacklin to lead Europe to victories both home and away.
“I’m delighted and honoured to have been given the chance to lead Team Europe in the Ryder Cup once again,” said Donald, who was initially appointed for the 2023 edition after Henrik Stenson was sacked for joining LIV Golf.
“Great opportunities don’t come along very often in life and I’m a great believer that when they do, you need to grab them with both hands. This is one of these moments.
