Molinari returns to the role for the third successive Ryder Cup, having been part of the European victories at Marco Simone in Rome, Italy, in 2023 and Bethpage in New York last year.

As part of his role, the 45 year old will once again provide statistical support to Donald and Team Europe through his statistical analysis model.

Molinari said: “It was a very easy decision when Luke called me and asked me if I was willing to help him again. I was obviously very happy. I think any time you can get involved in the Ryder Cup, in any role, it’s a great thing and I cannot wait for Adare Manor to come soon enough.

“Luke is an unbelievable captain. He’s very well-liked by all the players. The great thing about him is that he leads by example. He really puts a lot of effort and thoughts into this process, into the Ryder Cup. He’s trying to make all the players very comfortable when they’re in the team. And at the same time, he’s very motivated to win.

“He will really try any new avenues, new ideas, and see what works. He is incredibly hardworking. And then the players really follow him because they see how motivated he is.

“I thought 2023 in Rome was great, but 2025 was another level. Europe hadn’t won away in a long time. Winning in New York against those crowds was something everyone thought was always impossible when we started working for it. To be able to pull it off, was a dream come true, and at the end of the week it was incredible. It was something that we will never forget.

“It’s going to be incredible to play in front of the Irish crowd next year. Every time we play in an Irish Open or anything really in Ireland, they’re always very passionate, very loud. They’re also very respectful of the players, which I think is going to be a great thing for this Ryder Cup coming after New York. But obviously being the home team, they will be supporting us very strongly, very loud. It’s going to be amazing for all the players and everyone involved to be playing in front of them.”

European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald said: “Edoardo has been a rock of support to me. He has made such a difference to our team. He is invaluable from a statistical analysis perspective, in terms of helping me with the qualification system, navigating the ever-changing world of golf.

“He is a very steady head. I always know where I stand with him and he gives me great advice.

“For me, my Vice Captain appointments are important, so to have his expertise again is key. He is a major factor in our backroom team.

“He works closely with a number of players. He is a numbers guy and he is always looking at how to gain those edges, through statistics, through looking at the golf course and how you can set it up to give yourself just a little bit of an edge, which you have a little bit more control over as a home team.

“I’m excited to work with him again. He is so committed, so dedicated and he loves what the Ryder Cup represents. It’s an honour to having him by my side once again.”

Molinari’s first time as Vice Captain was on home soil in Italy, contributing to Team Europe’s memorable 16 ½ – 11 ½ victory against the United States at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.

He then returned to the backroom team for the 15-13 win at Bethpage, New York, last September and will resume the role for the 100th anniversary of the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.

Molinari featured as a player in the 2010 Ryder Cup in Wales alongside his brother Francesco, who was also a Vice Captain in Rome and New York.

The Molinaris became the first brothers to compete against the United States since Bernard and Geoffrey Hunt played in the 1963 Great Britain & Ireland team. They halved their fourballs match against Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar, while Edoardo contributed another crucial half point in his singles match against Rickie Fowler as Europe triumphed 14½-13½.

In addition to his three victories on the DP World Tour, Molinari was also the Challenge Tour Number One in 2009 and is a respected member of the DP World Tour’s Tournament Committee.

Before turning professional, Molinari won the 2005 US Amateur Championship and alongside Francesco, claimed the World Cup of Golf for Italy in 2009 at Mission Hills in China.

Unprecedented demand expected, with 24,000 registrations of interest already received

Applications are now open to become a volunteer for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland, offering the chance to be part of one of the world’s greatest sporting events as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.

There will be two types of volunteer role available, with the traditional on-course Marshal role joined by a new-look ‘Ambassador’ role that will support the overall fan experience and the smooth running of the event.

Applications for both roles officially close on 1st April 2026.

You can apply via the dedicated volunteer page on the Ryder Cup website here.

There will be approximately 2,000 roles available and more than 24,000 people have already registered their interest in applying for voluntary roles via the Ryder Cup website. Those who registered their interest will be contacted directly via email by Ryder Cup Europe in the coming days to complete the application form.

Applicants can initially apply for an Ambassador or Marshal role and will be notified if their application has been successful in August 2026. Further details on their specific role at the event will then follow in November 2026.

Ambassadors will be recruited to help deliver legendary Irish hospitality to the thousands of fans visiting from around the world. They will be stationed at key locations – from transport hubs across County Limerick to the entrances to the golf course and key locations on-site such as the Fan Village – where they will guide visitors, answer questions and help create memorable experiences. No golf knowledge or experience is needed, just enthusiasm and a collaborative mindset.

Marshals play a vital role in the day-to-day operations across the golf course, helping ensure the smooth operation of play. This includes providing guidance and support in key areas such as grandstands, individual holes of play, accessibility areas, and managing on-course transport requirements. This role would suit confident communicators who enjoy working as part of a team and have a good understanding of golf to help deliver a world-class experience.

Kit Gartrell, Ryder Cup Event Delivery Director at the European Tour Group, said: “The 2027 Ryder Cup will be the biggest sporting event that Ireland has ever staged and the world will be watching.

“Our volunteers will have the opportunity to be at the heart of this iconic event and be part of history. We have already had more than 24,000 expressions of interest in these roles on our website, which shows the passion for the event.

“For our Ambassador role, we want to encourage applications from a diverse pool of people to showcase the country’s famously warm and welcoming hospitality to the thousands of visitors from across the globe who will visit the region.

“Applications are also live for the hugely important Marshal role. The country has a strong track record of hosting major international golf tournaments, with a strong network of Marshals already in existence as a result. We want to tap into this expertise, and identify new talent, to make sure the 2027 Ryder Cup delivers a best-in-class experience for players and fans.”

The 2027 Ryder Cup will be the iconic event’s 100th anniversary match and will take place at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland, from 13-19 September 2027. It will be the second time that Ireland has hosted the event, following the K Club in Kildare in 2006.

The Americans entered the final day singles matches with a two point lead after Wednesday’s four-balls at Nassau Country Club, and they drove home their home advantage with seven victories and one tie in 12 Thursday singles matches, triumphing 17 ½ to 12 ½.

Asterisk Talley provided the Americans with some early momentum after her 1 UP victory against Charlotte Naughton. Talley was 4 UP with five to play before England’s Naughton bounced back brilliantly to win holes 15,16 and 17 but came up just short of tying the match at the last.

French trio Hugo Le Goff, Oscar Couilleau and Sara Brentcheneff provided some hope for Europe after coming out on top against Miles Russell, Tyler Mawhinney and Amelie Zalsman respectively, however the Americans quickly restored their advantage as Anna Fang defeated Spain’s Nagore Martinez 5&3.

England’s Kris Kim and Giuseppe Puebla tied their match before the Americans took control as Zoe Cusack defeated Denmark’s Benedicte Brent-Petersen 4&3, Lunden Esterline beat France’s Callixte Alzas 3&2, Lily Peng defeated Alice Kong 1 UP and Hamilton Coleman came out on top against John Doyle 2&1.

Rayee Feng defeated Louise Uma Landgraf 4&3 to seal victory for the United States and regain the Junior Ryder Cup for the first time since 2018.

In the final match to finish on the course, Ukraine’s Lev Grinberg came out on top against Luke Colton with a 4&3 victory.

European Junior Ryder Cup Captain Stephen Gallacher was proud of his team despite defeat on American soil and believes the future is bright for European golf.

“I’m very proud of my team,” he said. “They fought extremely hard until the end, and they are not only fantastic golfers but also fantastic human beings. Their body language, commitment to the team from every one of them was so professional.

“They are all fantastic players, and they could have gone out in any order today. The sky is the limit with all of them, and they have the talent, it is now just down to how much they want it. I’m sure they will be winning on the DP World Tour and Ladies European Tour before we know it.”

United States Junior Ryder Cup Captain Suzy Whaley said: “We were down first thing this morning for a long time, and these kids just fought so hard and they got the job done. They saw a sea of blue on the leaderboard and knew exactly where they stood. They showed grit, perseverance and did not give up.

“Being a captain of a team holds a lot of responsibility, but it wasn’t just me, This was a team effort for Team USA to bring that Cup home and set the tone for tomorrow’s Ryder Cup, and that’s exactly what we did.”

The two teams – comprising 12 of the best male and female junior players from each of Europe and the United States – are currently 10-8 in favour of the United States after the second day mixed four-ball matches at Nassau Country Club.

The Americans, who entered the second day with a one point advantage, made the perfect start to the four-balls when Asterisk Talley and Miles Russell and overcame French duo Hugo Le Goff and Sara Brentcheneff 2&1 in the first match, before Zoe Cusack and Lunden Esterline also defeated English pair Charlotte Naughton and Kris Kim 2&1.

Europe fought back as Spaniard Nagore Martinez and Frenchman Callixte Alzas defeated Rayee Feng and Hamilton Coleman 3&2, before the United States increased their lead as Lily Peng and Giuseppe Puebla overcame Alice Kong from France and Ukraine’s Lev Grinberg 4&2.

Team Europe showed incredible fight as Denmark’s Benedicte Brent-Petersen and Ireland’s John Doyle birdied their final two holes to defeat Amelie Zalsman and Tyler Mawhinney 2 UP before French pair Louise Uma Landgraf and Oscar Couilleau came from behind to secure ½ a point against Anna Fang and Luke Colton.

Team Europe Captain Stephen Gallacher said: “There was some fantastic golf today. We’re watching the best 24 kids in the world, and I was delighted with the last few holes today. We saw a big shift in our favour, and we are only two points back ahead of the single matches, where anything can happen.

“The fighting spirit of my team has been unbelievable. This is a proper American golf course which my team won’t be used to and half of them have never played mixed four-balls. There is spirit and confidence to take on new shots and trust themselves. The greens out here are extremely firm, and they are up against class opposition. The attitude has been fantastic, and we are looking forward to tomorrow.”

The final day single matches were due to be played at Bethpage Black tomorrow, however due to the forecast of inclement weather they will now be contested at Nassau Country Club.

Team Europe will need to reach 15 points in order to retain the Junior Ryder Cup and lift the trophy on American soil for the first time since 2004.

“There’s a chance to re-write history tomorrow, we’ve not won away for over 20 years, and we’re going to try and do it for the Continent,” said Gallacher.

“I think it’s fantastic that we can still play the final day single matches here tomorrow. This golf course is fantastic, and it can certainly hold the rain if it does come. It’s obviously a shame that we’re not going to play Bethpage but logistically it would be very difficult and hard to finish if we did get any delays.”

The decisive single matches will begin tomorrow at 8:00am local time at Nassau Country Club, on the eve of the 45th edition of the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.

The U.S. got off to a hot start in morning foursomes at Nassau Country Club in Glen Cove, New York, led by U.S. top-ranked girls’ junior Asterisk Talley and teammate Amelie Zalsman, jumping to a 5-up lead through seven holes.

Following a brief run from Team Europe’s Sara Brentcheneff and Benedicte Brent-Peterson, winning holes 8, 10 and 11, Talley and Zalsman closed the first match of the Junior Ryder Cup with a 4 & 3 victory with a birdie on the par-5 15th hole.

“It’s great to get off to a good start (in match play) because you don’t want to have to battle back the whole time,” Asterisk said.

When the U.S. won their morning matches, they won by a large margin. Following the lead of Talley and Zalsman, partners Anna Fang and Lily Peng won their morning match against Europe’s Charlotte Naughton and Alice Kong 6 & 4. In the following group, Frisco, Texas, resident Luke Colton and Giuseppe Puebla of Royal Palm Beach, Fla. also won 6 & 4 against Europe’s Callixte Alzas and Lev Grinberg.

The Americans took control of this match early, making the turn at 4-up, fueled by an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole. Colton hit his approach to eight feet to set up Puebla to drain the putt for eagle.

“Giuseppe ripped a drive like 350 (yards) down there and I hit it where I was aiming and it ended up being eight feet away,” Colton said. “That felt really big because (Europe) hit it close for birdie. Giuseppe made just about every putt out there and I think that got the match going. We were on fire after that.”

Even after a hot start and three commanding wins in the morning session from the U.S., Team Europe did not falter.

French duo Hugo Le Goff and Oscar Couilleau set the tone for Europe, defeating U.S. top-ranked junior Miles Russell and Vanderbilt commit Tyler Mawhinney 3 & 2.

“I’ve known Oscar since I was 7 years-old,” Le Goff said. “We used to play together quite a few times and we always play well together. It felt good to win the first point for Europe.”

Behind 3 points to 1, Europe flipped the momentum by winning the final two matches. Nagore Martinez and Louise Uma Landgraf won 3 & 2 over Zoe Cusack and Rayee Feng and in the last match of the morning, John Doyle and Kris Kim won 1-up on 18 over Hamilton Coleman and Lunden Esterline.

At 3 points aside, the afternoon mixed foursome matches continued to be tight and included multiple 4-hole swings from both teams.

The U.S. sent out their star players with top-ranked Russell and Talley facing French teammates Brentcheneff and Le Goff.

Russell and Talley jumped to a quick lead, reaching 4-up through 8 holes, and then the Europeans started crawling back. Through 14 holes they inched to 3-down, then proceeded to win holes 15 and 16 to get within one. Le Goff holed a 7-foot putt on 17 to extend the match to 18, where Le Goff again holed a match-tying birdie to split the point.

“It just shows you that on this course, you can never count your chickens,” European Captain Stephen Gallacher said. “We saw two 4-up matches (this afternoon) that didn’t win. You don’t normally see that. This course, you’ve got to be on it all the time. You’ve got to hit great shots.”

The other 4-hole swing match came in favor of the Americans, when 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur Champion Coleman and New Jersey native Feng were 4-down through seven.

Hamilton and Feng won holes 8 and 9, with a par and an eagle, respectively, and then really turned it on by winning four of the last six holes.

With the match tied going into 18, Feng hit her approach to 10 feet, setting Hamilton up to sink the putt and claim the 1-up victory with a birdie.

“That was about every emotion you could feel on the golf course, in one round,” Hamilton said. “It would have been easy to give up, but we stuck with it.”

“I grabbed my putter, but kept the cover on because I had faith in him,” Feng said of Hamilton’s birdie putt on 18. “Towards the end we really pulled it together. We’re pretty great as a team.”

Hamilton’s birdie wasn’t the only U.S. match winner on 18. Colton and his afternoon partner Fang of San Diego were tied with Brent-Peterson and Couilleau going into the last hole. Fang’s approach left an up-hill, 7-foot birdie opportunity that Colton drained.

Also earning a crucial afternoon-session point for the U.S., with a little more breathing room, was Cusack and Boys’ Junior PGA Champion Esterline, winning 6 & 4 over Alice Kong of France and John Doyle of Ireland.

Full-point earners for Europe were Nagore Martinez and Alzas, defeating Peng and Puebla 3 & 2, while Charlotte Naughton and Kris Kim won 2 & 1 over Zalsman and Mawhinney.

With the U.S. Team’s slim lead going into Wednesday at Nassau, Whaley’s “lock-in” phrase for her team will continue.

“The phrase is actually Asterisk’s. That’s her phrase for when she really wants to play great golf,” Whaley said. “I think they all locked-in today. For me, locking in means every time you hit a shot, I want you focused. At the end of the day, we came out slightly ahead but I’m here to tell you we’re going to start over tomorrow. We’re going to lock-in.”

As the world’s eyes turn to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, golf’s future stars will be competing in their own international showcase Sept. 23-25, at Nassau Country Club and Bethpage Black, for the 13th Junior Ryder Cup presented by HPE.

Captained by PGA of America Past President and PGA Master Professional Suzy Whaley, the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup Team features six boys and six girls who are U.S. citizens and members of the high school graduating class of 2026 or younger. The U.S. will look to re-claim the Junior Ryder Cup aided by two of the top-ranked junior golfers in America: Stanford University commit Asterisk Talley, 16, and Florida State University commit Miles Russell, 16.

Additionally, the U.S. team boasts six of the top-10-ranked boys and four of the top-10 girls in the AJGA rankings, including 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur champion and University of Georgia commit Hamilton Coleman, 17, of Augusta, Georgia, and Anna Fang, 16, of San Diego, who will join Talley as a Stanford Cardinal in the Class of 2027.

Team Europe, once again led by four-time DP World Tour winner Stephen Gallacher, a member of the victorious 2014 European Ryder Cup team, comes to New York defending its title with two returning players: Ukraine’s Lev Grinberg, 17, and England’s Kris Kim, 17. Half of the team is from France, including top-ranked U18 European Amateur Callixte Alzas, 17, who sits second on the European Amateur Golf Rankings. French native Sara Brentcheneff, 18, is also the second-ranked amateur on the European Girls’ Amateur ranking and 37th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

The U.S. Team looks to rebound from their 20 ½ – 9 ½ loss two years ago at Golf Nazionale & Marco Simone in Rome in 2023, which broke a U.S. win streak of six consecutive Junior Ryder Cups between 2008 and 2018.

As the sole returning player for the U.S., Russell will add some veteran experience and hopes to share some wisdom with his teammates.

“Rome showed me how big the stage feels, so this time I know what to expect,” said Russell, the 13th-ranked amateur in the world. “My focus is on helping my teammates stay relaxed, enjoy it and play their best.”

Russell is no stranger to playing in front of crowds with a Junior Ryder Cup and four PGA TOUR events under his belt, including the recent Procore Championship, which included the majority of the U.S. Ryder Cup Team in the field.

But when it comes to representing your country, the experience changes.

“Playing for the red, white and blue is just different,” the 2025 Junior Players champion explained. “You feel the pride and it makes you want to give everything for your team and country.”

As a PGA Master Professional and LPGA Coach, and the first woman since Babe Zaharias in 1945 to qualify for a PGA TOUR event (2003 Greater Harford Open), Captain Whaley knows how to prepare her team for the pressure they will experience, especially come Thursday, Sept. 25, when the Junior Ryder Cup singles matches will take place at Bethpage Black in front of tens of thousands of fans. A stalwart in Golf Magazine’s “Top 100 Teachers in America” list, she also knows her role.

“I can provide the awareness of how to bring a team together, how to make sure we have a culture of respect, grit and perseverance.”

Unlike the Ryder Cup, playing at home hasn’t always provided the upper hand. In the U.S. team’s 7-4-1 record, four of its victories came abroad, including the inaugural event in 1997 at Alcaidesa Links Golf Course in Cadiz, Spain. The others came during the 2008-18 win streak. During Europe’s three-match win streak (1999, 2002, ‘04), two of those victories were in America.

With “home-course advantage” not a factor, Whaley’s preparation has been focused on getting the best out of her team, even before they arrive in New York. She went on a fact-finding mission, watching most of the team compete at the Junior PGA Championships in August and making pre-event phone calls, learning what motivates them and what builds their confidence mid-round.

“Now during a match when I can sense there’s some nerves, I can remind them of the things they previously shared with me that aren’t mine, but that are their own.”

Whaley will also aim to create a week they can build on for the rest of their playing careers.

“I want them to make incredible relationships with the European team. Some of these players may end up playing together in college or on the professional tours. But even more than that, it gives them a stepping stone. Once you’ve played in front of 40,000 people and on the first tee of the Ryder Cup, that first big college event or first Korn Ferry Tour or Epson Tour event might just feel a little bit easier.”

Following the Junior Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony on Monday, Sept. 22, at Nassau Country Club, play will begin Tuesday with morning foursome matches and mixed foursome matches in the afternoon. Day two will feature mixed four-ball matches at Nassau CC, before they play singles at Bethpage Black Thursday.

Their matches at Bethpage mark the first time a U.S. Ryder Cup venue will host the Junior Ryder Cup singles matches on the eve of the Ryder Cup.

The Junior Ryder Cup offers a thrilling international preview of the future of professional golf. Junior Ryder Cup alumni include current Ryder Cup players Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Sam Burns and Cameron Young for the U.S., and Rory McIlroy and Rasmus Højgaard for the Europeans. Other Junior Ryder Cup veterans include Solheim Cup players and LPGA Tour professionals Lexi Thompson, Alison Lee, Emily Kristine Pedersen, Leona Maguire and more.

“The Junior Ryder Cup can be a springboard for the rest of your playing career,” Whaley added. “Every single player, girl and boy, can look to that as a goal and can realize the number-one player in the world was once in their shoes.”

Costa Brava, Barcelona region has a strong history of hosting world class sporting events

Spain to host its second Ryder Cup, 34 years after Seve led Europe to victory at Valderrama

Spain becomes the first country in Continental Europe to host the Ryder Cup twice

The Ryder Cup will return to Spain in 2031 when Camiral in Costa Brava, near Barcelona, hosts the biennial contest between Europe and the United States for the first time.

Camiral will follow Bethpage Black in New York (2025), Adare Manor in Ireland (2027) and Hazeltine National in Minnesota (2029) as the venue for golf’s greatest team contest.

It will be the second time Spain has hosted the Ryder Cup, 34 years after the legendary Seve Ballesteros captained Europe to victory at Valderrama in 1997, becoming the first country in Continental Europe to host more than one Ryder Cup. That honour recognises the hugely significant contribution that Spanish golf has played in the history of the Ryder Cup, with 11 Spaniards having represented Team Europe, the joint second highest of any European country after England.

The stunning Costa Brava and Barcelona will provide the backdrop for the 2031 Ryder Cup, welcoming international visitors from across the world to a region renowned for its breathtaking coastline, world-class hospitality and vibrant cultural heritage.

Costa Brava and Barcelona have a rich legacy of hosting major international sporting events, including the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, the F1 Spanish Grand Prix, the MotoGP Catalunya, and Champions League and La Liga football at Camp Nou, the home of FC Barcelona.

As part of the agreement for the region to host the Ryder Cup in six years time, Estrella Damm, the brewing company founded in Barcelona in 1876, will become the Official Beer of the 2031 Ryder Cup. They will also become the title partner of the DP World Tour’s Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship for five years beginning in 2026, with the 2028, 2029 and 2030
tournaments taking place at Camiral.

Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the European Tour Group, said: “Today’s announcement not only recognises Camiral as one of Europe’s leading venues, but also the considerable contribution Spanish golf has made to the proud history of the Ryder Cup.

“The Ryder Cup has grown significantly since Spain last hosted it in 1997. It is one of the world’s leading sporting events, which brings significant economic benefits and global exposure to a host region and country, so we could not be happier to be taking it to Costa Brava and Barcelona for the first time, and to Spain for the second time.

“This agreement has taken many months of collaborative discussions, so we are grateful not only to Denis O’Brien and his team at Camiral, but also to the Government of Catalonia, the Spanish Government, the Province of Girona and Barcelona Tourism for their vision and commitment to hosting this major global event. We have also secured significant support from the private sector in Costa Brava and Barcelona, including Estrella Damm’s long-term commitment, which will play a big role in the road to Ryder Cup 2031 as we showcase the region to our global audience.”

Jose Manuel Rodriguez Uribes, president of the Consejo Superior de Deportes, said: “The Government of Spain welcomes the selection of Camiral as the host venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup — a global sporting event that will showcase our country to millions of viewers around the world.

“The Ryder Cup is not only one of the most prestigious competitions on the international sporting calendar, but also an exceptional platform to demonstrate Spain’s ability to successfully host major 21st-century events, combining world-class infrastructure, unparalleled natural environment and a globally renowned tourism, cultural and culinary offering.

“Furthermore, hosting the Ryder Cup for the second time — 34 years after the historic edition at Valderrama — will firmly establish Spain as an international benchmark in the organisation of major sporting events. Without a doubt, this designation is also a tribute to the legacy of Spanish golf and to our country’s unwavering commitment to sport — a sector that is also an industry generating employment and economic growth — as well as to sustainable tourism and organisational excellence. ”

The Minister of the Presidency of the Government of Catalonia, Albert Dalmau, said: “Hosting the Ryder Cup is a commitment to the territorial cohesion of the country and an opportunity to attract high-quality tourism linked to sport, generating a positive economic impact across the entire territory. It demonstrates that Catalonia once again has the highest ambitions to position itself on the international stage and to host top-level competitions. ”

The Minister for Sports of the Government of Catalonia, Berni Álvarez, said: “All stakeholders involved in the signing of this agreement are working to ensure that the benefits of the Ryder Cup reach every corner of Catalonia. We have defined a social legacy that will take shape through a comprehensive program, with sporting and social initiatives to promote the practice of golf, foster social cohesion, showcase golf courses across the region, and implement sustainable actions. We are undoubtedly speaking of one of the most globally impactful sporting events, the result of a long and intense negotiation process to ensure a strong road to this historic milestone – from a sporting, social, and environmental perspective.”

Jordi Clos, President of the Executive Committee of Tourism of Barcelona, said: “Tourism of Barcelona is actively joining this major event, reaffirming Barcelona’s role as the gateway to Catalonia and as a driving force for high-quality, diversified, and sustainable tourism. The city offers a wide-ranging and high-quality offer and is well prepared to meet the demands of a discerning audience while connecting with the rest of the region. Ultimately, Barcelona, with its strong and internationally recognised brand, stands out as a key player in positioning Catalonia as a premium destination before a high-value global audience. The Ryder Cup is, in short, a major opportunity for the whole country, and also for Barcelona as the gateway — and we will be there to open it to the world.”

Miquel Noguer, President of the Girona Provincial Council, said: “Hosting the Ryder Cup represents a unique opportunity for the Girona counties and for the entire country. We are talking about one of the world’s most high-profile sporting events, with a major economic impact on the region — an impact that won’t be limited to the days of the competition but will also extend to the lead-up and the aftermath. For the Provincial Council and for the Costa Brava Girona Tourism Board, golf is a strategic product. It helps combat seasonality, increases tourism spending, and positions us as a global reference point in this field.”

Denis O’Brien and Catherine O’Brien, owners of Camiral, said: “Hosting the Ryder Cup is the realisation of a long-held dream to bring golf’s greatest sporting event to Catalonia and Spain. For the communities of Girona, Costa Brava and Barcelona, it will create immediate economic benefits, driving high value golf and leisure tourism in the years leading up to the 2031 Ryder Cup, and a long-lasting legacy built on the reputation of hosting one of the greatest sporting events in the world. We would like to thank the Catalan and Spanish Government and the Spanish Golf Federation for all of their support and we look forward to continuing our great relationship with Ryder Cup Europe.”

Juan Guerrero-Burgos, President of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, said: “It is an honour for Spain to host the Ryder Cup for the second time in history. The previous experience at Valderrama in 1997 was extraordinary. The economic impact, media coverage and more importantly, the legacy to our sport, tourism and awareness of golf in our country were
unbelievable.

“Spanish golf has grown significantly in the last 25 years due to the incredible influence of that Ryder Cup in 1997, which helped to make golf accessible to everybody, many public golf courses were built and inspired new generations of players.

“The union of all public institutions and the support of Camiral will make possible another unforgettable Ryder Cup in 2031, where we will also pay tribute to all the Spanish golfers who have contributed so much to its history, with the legacy of Severiano Ballesteros always in mind.”

Spanish players have been part of some notable European Ryder Cup successes since 1979, with Sergio Garcia the all-time record points scorer from either side with 28½ points from his ten appearances.

The partnership between Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazábal is also the most successful of all time, the legendary pair having won 12 points together for Team Europe, and like Ballesteros in 1997, Olazábal also captained Europe to an iconic victory, masterminding the ‘Miracle at Medinah’ in 2012.

Ballesteros and fellow countryman Antonio Garrido were the first players from Continental Europe to represent Europe in the contest in 1979 at The Greenbrier, and were later joined in Team Europe by José María Cañizares, Manuel Piñero and José Rivero. Subsequently, Olazábal and Antonio’s son Ignacio were part of the winning team captained by Ballesteros at Valderrama 18 years later, along with vice-captain Miguel Angel Jiménez, who went on to play in four Ryder Cups.

More recently, Rafa Cabrera Bello was part of the European Team in 2016 and Jon Rahm has featured in the last three Ryder Cups, including the home victories in Paris in 2018 and in Rome two years ago. Both players formed successful partnerships with Garcia in 2016 and 2021 respectively.

There has been at least one Spaniard in the European Team in each Ryder Cup since 1979, the year players from Continental Europe became part of the biennial contest.

Camiral, ranked Spain’s number one golf and wellness resort, opened in 1999 and was acquired by Irish businessman Denis O’Brien in 2008. It has previously hosted the DP World Tour’s Open de España on three occasions, in 2000, 2009 and 2014, and the Catalunya Championship in 2022, as well as the Final Stage of the DP World Tour’s Qualifying School for nine consecutive years from 2008 to 2016.

It has been part of the European Tour Destination’s portfolio of world-class venues since its opening, when it was formerly known as PGA Catalunya.

Camiral, a Quinta do Lago Resort, is located just five minutes from Girona-Costa Brava Airport and one hour from Barcelona in north-eastern Spain. The 540-hectare forested estate boasts two championship courses, including the world-renowned Stadium Course.

Luke Donald has named Francesco Molinari as his fourth Vice Captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup which will be played at Bethpage Black, New York, USA from September 26-28, 2025.

Molinari returns to the role having also been a Vice Captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, when Team Europe defeated the United States 16 ½ – 11 ½ at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.

The Italian joins his brother Edoardo, Thomas Bjørn and José María Olazábal in Donald’s backroom team as Team Europe aims to retain the Ryder Cup in New York.

Molinari played in the last European team to achieve that feat, securing the half point in the final Singles match against Tiger Woods at Medinah in 2012 which ensured that Olazábal’s team won the Ryder Cup outright 14½-13½.

He previously made his debut alongside his brother Edoardo two years earlier at The Celtic Manor Resort.

In 2018, he became the first European player to win all five of his matches in a Ryder Cup, as Bjørn’s team triumphed 17½-10½ at Le Golf National in Paris. Earlier that year, he won The Open Championship at Carnoustie, becoming Italy’s first Major Champion.

Molinari said: “I’m very happy to be part of the team again. I really enjoyed being part of Luke’s backroom team in Rome and trying to help the players.

“Luke is a very smart, switched on individual. He has been very successful and he is an easy person to work with. It’s been great to see at firsthand how much he is putting into being the Captain. He did the same two years ago and he’s doing it now. He leads by example so that passion trickles down to the players.

“It is going to be a big challenge at Bethpage. You just have to look at the stats to see how difficult it is to win the Ryder Cup away from home. It hasn’t happened that often recently, so it is a big challenge but it is a big opportunity to try to do something that, if it does happen, will be remembered for a long, long time. Everyone will give their best and I am very happy to be able to give my contribution to the team.

“I can’t wait to be there. I can’t wait to try to transmit my experience from Medinah to the players. There will be a few of us who were there in 2012. Some still playing and some others like Luke and myself who are now behind the scenes. Medinah still has a special place in my memories, and in my heart, and I would be really happy and really proud to see this generation of players complete something like that.”

European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald said: “I am really excited to announce that Francesco is going to be joining me again as one of my Vice Captains for New York. He was obviously a big part of the team in Rome and to have him and his experience again means a lot to me personally.

“He knows how to win Ryder Cups, having been on three winning teams, and I think that’s really important for us. We obviously have a tough task ahead of us trying to win away in New York.

“He has an amazing amount of experience – as a rookie in 2010 with his brother Edoardo, playing at Number 12 in the Singles against Tiger in 2012 when he secured the half point that meant we won outright, and in 2018 when he became the only European player to go 5-0 in a Ryder Cup.

“I think he brings a very calm head. He is someone who listens a lot and has good ideas. He speaks up when he feels like he needs to.

“I love his demeanour. He just doesn’t seem to get too flustered. He doesn’t seem to get too high or too low. I think that’s going to be important in a place like New York, an away Ryder Cup. So I love what he brings and I’m very excited that he’s a part of the team again.”

Molinari was a playing Captain for Continental Europe against Great Britian & Ireland in the Team Cup in January, as well as the 2023 version of the event, known as the Hero Cup. He has also played in three editions of the Seve Trophy and in total, he has won six times on the DP World Tour, including twice on home soil, claiming the Italian Open in both 2006 and 2016.

He won the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai in 2018 and has won twice individually on American soil on the PGA TOUR, claiming the Quicken Loans National in 2018 and the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2019.

Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the European Tour Group, said: “The official announcement of the dates is always a significant milestone in the Ryder Cup journey for a country and a venue, and we’re delighted to today confirm details for the 2027 contest at Adare Manor.

“Rory McIlroy’s victory in the Masters last month to complete the career Grand Slam, combined with anticipation of July’s Open Championship, has already heightened the buzz around golf on the island of Ireland. This announcement will add to that excitement as Ireland continues its preparation to host golf’s greatest team competition for the second time in 2027 when the Ryder Cup celebrates its 100th anniversary.

“Hosting a Ryder Cup is a huge collective effort and our thanks therefore go to the Government of Ireland, to JP McManus and the team at Adare Manor and to Limerick City and County Council for their continued support over the next two-and-a-half years.”

Patrick O’Donovan T.D., Ireland’s Minister for Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport, welcomed today’s announcement of dates for the 2027 Ryder Cup and highlighted the level of Government support for the event.

Minister O’Donovan said: “I am very pleased that Ryder Cup Europe has announced the dates for the Ryder Cup in Adare, Co. Limerick in 2027, the next European destination for this prestigious tournament. We have adopted a whole of Government approach to ensure that Ireland successfully hosts the event in 2027, showcasing the many valuable benefits the island of Ireland has as a tourism and golfing destination, and ensure the legacy participation benefit for the sport.

“The passion of Irish people for golf makes Ireland really stand out internationally as a golfing venue. For Ryder Cup week, the eyes of the sporting world will be on the beautiful village of Adare, and I am confident that the local community of Adare and the people of Limerick and Ireland generally, will ensure that this event is a wonderful success and that all who attend will want to return to visit Ireland again.”

Charlie McConalogue T.D., Minister of State for Sport and Postal Policy, said: “I am delighted to welcome the announcement of the dates of the 2027 Ryder Cup in Adare, County Limerick.

“Major sporting events such as these help drive participation in sport. They contribute to trade, tourism, business, community engagement and economic growth. The Ryder Cup is a very important part of the golf calendar and as this will be the centenary event for the Ryder Cup, it will be highly anticipated. Ireland is a superb golfing destination and is well-equipped for all golfing visitors.

“The world class venue in Adare will present a superb opportunity for many of the great players from Europe and America to perform in front of a capacity crowd, including thousands of overseas visitors and millions of television viewers across the globe. This event and spectacular venue provide the perfect showcase for the world class golf that can be found throughout Ireland, where over 400 courses are dotted throughout our scenic landscape.”

JP McManus, owner of Adare Manor, said: “We are honoured to be hosting one of global sports biggest events at Adare Manor. Now the dates have been announced, the anticipation for the 2027 Ryder Cup will continue to grow as we countdown to becoming the next host venue.

“Hosting golf’s greatest team contest will provide many economic benefits to the Irish economy and the south west community in particular, with thousands of people travelling to be part of the Ryder Cup’s 100th anniversary.

“We look forward to welcoming the many international visitors to Ireland, Limerick and Adare in two years’ time and to showcasing our island to a global audience.”

Designed by Tom Fazio, the Golf Course at Adare Manor is located along the banks of the River Maigue. Extensively renovated in 2017, Adare Manor hosted the Irish Open in 2007, a tournament won by Pádraig Harrington two months before he went on to clinch the first of his two successive Open Championship titles at Carnoustie. The Irish Open was staged again at Adare Manor the following year in 2008 when Englishman Richard Finch triumphed.

The venue has also hosted the JP McManus Pro-Am in 2005, 2010 and 2022, where star-studded fields from the worlds of sport and entertainment have come together to help raise millions of euros for a wide range of charitable initiatives.

European Captain Luke Donald has named José María Olazábal as his third Vice Captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup which will be played at Bethpage Black in New York from September 26-28, 2025.

Olazábal returns to the role having also been one of Donald’s five Vice Captains in 2023 when Team Europe defeated the United States 16½ – 11½ at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Italy.

The 59-year-old Spaniard was the last Captain to lead Team Europe to victory on US soil, overseeing the most famous European comeback victory of all time at Medinah in 2012.

As a player, he represented Europe in the Ryder Cup on seven occasions from 1987 to 2006, forming the most iconic partnership in the history of the biennial contest with his compatriot Seve Ballesteros.

This year’s Ryder Cup will be the fifth time Olazábal has been a Vice Captain after previously performing the role in 2008, 2010 and 2014, as well as in Rome two years ago. He rejoins Denmark’s Thomas Bjørn and Italian Edoardo Molinari in Donald’s backroom team.

Olazábal said: “It is wonderful news. When Luke approached me and asked me about the possibility of being a Vice Captain again, I have to be honest, I thought about it for a while because, you know, being in New York, it’s not going to be easy. But the Ryder Cup is very close to my heart. I have wonderful memories about this event so I said yes.

“I think Luke did a wonderful job in Rome and I believe he will do a very good job this time round too. He took care of absolutely all the details: players, caddies, families. It was wonderful to see some of the lines he came up with and the images from past champions. It was great also to see him working the way he did during the week, being so close to the players. It was fantastic to be part of that Ryder Cup team.

“It’s really hard to win away from home in the United States. In New York, we know the crowds are going to be very loud and the golf course will be set up in favour of the US team – we’ll have to handle that, too. I think there is not any bigger challenge for a golfer than facing a Ryder Cup away from home and we have to be mentally prepared for that.”

Captain Donald said: “I am delighted to welcome José María back to the Vice Captain role. He is synonymous with European golf and the Ryder Cup and everything it represents. So to have him back as part of my backroom team is incredibly positive for us.

“He bleeds blue and gold like nobody else. His passion for the Ryder Cup is second to none. He is just an inspiration to so many players, which made such a difference in Rome.

“It’s also extremely important for us to know we have the last Captain to have won on foreign soil on our side. I was part of that team as a player and got to witness his never-give-up attitude and the inspiration he drew from Seve that week. There might be some tough times in New York when we all need that experience, that passion and that mentality.”

Olazábal played 31 matches across his seven Ryder Cup appearances as a player, winning 18 of them and returning 20½ points in total for Team Europe. His partnership with the late, great Seve Ballesteros is the most successful in Ryder Cup history, the Spanish duo contributing 12 points from their 15 outings together.

Individually, Olazábal has won 33 professional tournaments worldwide in a glittering career, including 23 victories on the European Tour from 1986 to 2005.

He is a two-time winner of the Masters Tournament, having claimed the Green Jacket at Augusta National in 1994 and 1999, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2009.

Six boys and six girls will take on the United States in New York from September 23-25, 2025, with the first two days of the Junior Ryder Cup being played at Nassau Country Club before the decisive singles matches are held at Bethpage Black, the Ryder Cup venue, on the eve of the 45th edition of the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.

Three boys and three girls will earn a place on the European Junior Ryder Cup team through a season-long ranking system, which has been organised by the European Golf Association, while the remaining six players will be selected by Stephen Gallacher, the European Junior Ryder Cup Captain.

Players will earn points for the Rankings based on their finishing position in selected elite amateur events in 2025 and these points will be allocated using the World Amateur Golf Ranking system. The qualification process will end following The R&A Girls’ and Boys’ Amateur Championships on August 16, 2025.

“I would encourage these talented players to try and qualify because after watching our team play in Rome last year on the same course as the Ryder Cup, it was a special opportunity and a lifetime experience,” said Gallacher.

“These kids will make memories and learn a lot about themselves as golfers. For me it’s a great viewing platform to watch these talented young players and a huge honour for me to be Captain.

“I’m really looking forward to getting to some events during the year and working with the most exciting future talent in Europe once again.”

Boys and girls will have the chance to compete in up to nine tournaments during the season to score points and the total of each player’s four highest point scores will count towards their final tally on the Rankings.

Players are not required to sign up to be included in the Rankings, or to play in a minimum number of events to be considered for selection. Eligible players competing in the counting events will automatically be included in the Rankings.

Boys and girls who are citizens of a European country as defined by the International Golf Federation’s Nationality Policy by no later than January 1, 2025, under 18 years of age on January 1, 2025, have not represented a non-European country in an international golf competition during 2025, and who are not enrolled at, or committed to attend, a college in the USA during 2025 are eligible to participate in the 2025 Junior Ryder Cup.

The Junior Ryder Cup has produced a plethora of golfing stars and once again in 2025 the best male and female junior amateurs from Europe and the USA go head-to-head in the mixed event.

Rory McIlroy, Nicolai Højgaard and Nicolas Colsaerts, the 2023 European Ryder Cup Vice-Captain, all triumphed in the junior event before also winning the Ryder Cup, while Suzanne Peterson, Carlota Ciganda and Emily Kristine Pedersen succeeded as amateurs before lifting the Solheim Cup.

Ballyneety Golf Club will be the venue for the first two days of foursomes and fourballs between male and female juniors from Europe and the United States in 2027, before the decisive single matches are held at Adare Manor, the day before the venue hosts the Ryder Cup itself, providing an exciting curtain-raiser to golf’s greatest team contest.

Ballyneety, co-designed by 2014 Ryder Cup Vice-Captain Des Smyth, is set on 183 acres of rolling Irish countryside and the exceptional parkland layout offers breathtaking views over Limerick County.

Edward Kitson, Junior Ryder Cup Match Director, said: “Ballyneety Golf Club will be a magnificent host for the Junior Ryder Cup in 2027. The venue offers one of the finest parkland golfing experiences in Ireland, and the next generation of golfing superstars will relish the opportunity to compete on the champion-standard layout.

“Playing the final day singles matches at Adare Manor will be a fantastic experience for the 24 players who get the opportunity to compete in front of Ryder Cup crowds on the Ryder Cup course.

“These matches will form part of an exciting Ryder Cup week, and fans will be able to see some of the most exciting future talent in action.”

John Leamy, General Manager of Ballyneety Golf Club, said: “It is a true honour for Ballyneety Golf Club to host the 2027 Junior Ryder Cup. This tournament represents not only a celebration of skill and dedication to the game, but also an opportunity to showcase the spirit of our community and the beauty and quality of our Championship course. We are looking forward to welcoming the world’s top emerging golf talent to compete on one of Ireland’s finest parkland courses.”

“Ballyneety Golf Club is committed to providing an unparalleled experience for players and spectators alike. Our team which includes Course Manager Dave Bailey, Donal McSweeney, our Head Professional, and Walter Shanahan, 2027 Junior Ryder Cup Chairperson, are dedicated to offering exceptional hospitality both on and off the course to ensure that the Junior Ryder Cup is made special for everyone involved.”

Ryder Cup Europe today confirmed the qualification process for the 2025 European Ryder Cup team which will defend the trophy against the United States at Bethpage in New York from September 26-28, 2025.

In a significant change from previous years – an alteration ratified by the DP World Tour’s Tournament Committee – there will be only one Ryder Cup Points List operational in the 2024/2025 qualification period, using points earned in accordance with a new tournament banding structure implemented by Ryder Cup Europe in consultation with Captain Luke Donald.

The below table outlines the total points available at each tournament in each defined category. The distribution breakdown of these points is outlined in the table in the appendix.

This represents an amalgamation of and a replacement for the two former lists utilised in previous qualification campaigns; ie: the World Points List (which was based on Official World Golf Ranking points accrued during the qualifying period) and the European Points List (which was based on Race to Dubai Ranking points accrued during the qualifying period).

Elements of the process which have not changed are:

• To be eligible to be a member of the 2025 European Ryder Cup team, a player must (i) be European (defined in accordance with the IGF National policy) and (ii) be in membership of the DP World Tour.
• The team will comprise the top six qualified players (from the new Ryder Cup Points List) and six Captain’s Picks.

The qualification process for the 2025 European Ryder Cup team will begin at the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry from August 29 – September 1, 2024 – a tournament host and venue synonymous with Ryder Cup success, the English venue having played host to two European triumphs (1985 and 2002) and a tied match in 1989 to retain the trophy; Faldo having played in both 1985 and 1989.

The qualification process will end at the DP World Tour tournament which concludes on Sunday August 24, 2025, a tournament which will be confirmed when the DP World Tour outlines its full 2025 schedule next month.

Other important points to note in relation to the qualifying process are as follows:

• In 2024, from the start of the qualifying campaign (August 29) through to the end of the calendar year, the only place to earn Ryder Cup points will be from events on the DP World Tour – ie: the Back 9, the DP World Tour Play-Offs and the Opening Swing events of the 2025 season.
• Ryder Cup points will only be eligible to be earned in PGA TOUR events from January 1, 2025, until Sunday August 17, 2025.
• No points will be allocated to any events scheduled against Rolex Series events (as per the 2023 qualification campaign) other than in the 2025 ISCO Championship on the PGA TOUR, played opposite the Genesis Scottish Open.
• Points will be allocated to The Zurich Classic on the PGA TOUR with 50% of each position being allocated to each player in the team, but only if both players are European.

European Captain Luke Donald said: “I am delighted to be able to confirm the details of the qualification process for our 2025 Ryder Cup team. A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes to get to this point and everything is now focused on doing all we can to retain the trophy in New York next September.”

Guy Kinnings, CEO of PGA European Tour, the Managing Partner of Ryder Cup Europe LLP, said: “This is a major milestone moment in our journey to the 2025 Ryder Cup. This is without question a much cleaner and simpler qualification system than the ones utilised in previous years and we thank Luke and his Vice Captains Edoardo Molinari and Thomas Bjørn for their vital input over the past few months.”

The four-time DP World Tour winner returns to the role having led Europe to a record 20½ – 9½ victory against the United States in the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup in Rome, Italy, last year.

Six boys and six girls will take on the US Team in New York from September 23-25, 2025, with the first two days of the Junior Ryder Cup being played at Nassau Country Club before the decisive singles matches are held at Bethpage Black, the Ryder Cup venue, on the eve of the 45th edition of the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.

The Scot ended a run of six straight defeats for Europe in the Junior Ryder Cup as they secured a European record 11-point victory in Rome last year, and he will now aim to become the third Captain to lead Europe to victories both home and away, following Macarena Campomanes and Andy Ingram in 2002 and 2006 respectively.

“I’m delighted to have been given the chance to once again lead Team Europe in the 2025 Junior Ryder Cup in New York,” said Gallacher. “It was fantastic to oversee Europe’s record victory in Rome last year and I was so proud of the team and what they managed to achieve.

“The team spirit was unbelievable, and it is an honour to be their Captain once again. I’m looking forward to working with the most exciting future talent in Europe and taking on the United States in New York.

“The Ryder Cup means so much to me, so to be the Junior Captain again and have the chance to create bonds with the 12 players, like we did in Italy, will be very special.

“Being a Captain away from home will be a tough task, but it is a challenge that motivates me, and I will do everything I can to make sure our 12-strong team will be ready to head to New York in 2025.”

The Junior Ryder Cup has produced a plethora of golfing stars and once again in 2025 the best male and female junior amateurs from Europe and the USA will go head-to-head in the mixed event.

English amateur Kris Kim starred in Europe’s Junior Ryder Cup victory in Italy and earlier this year made history as the youngest player to make the cut in a PGA TOUR event for 11 years when he made the weekend at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson aged just 16.

Helen Briem was also part of Europe’s Junior Ryder Cup winning team last year, and the German amateur made history earlier this month by becoming the first player to win three consecutive LET Access Series titles after triumphs at the Montauban Ladies Open, Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge and Santander Golf Tour-Avila.

Rory McIlroy, Nicolai Højgaard and Nicolas Colsaerts, the 2023 European Ryder Cup Vice-Captain, all triumphed in the junior event before also winning the Ryder Cup, while Suzanne Peterson, Carlota Ciganda and Emily Kristine Pedersen succeeded as amateurs before lifting the Solheim Cup.

Gallacher was part of the European team that defeated the United States to retain the Ryder Cup in 2014, winning 16½ to 11½ at Gleneagles, and boasts an impressive individual playing career with four victories on the DP World Tour.

He has also set up the Stephen Gallacher Foundation to help and encourage junior golfers in Scotland and he will again lead the European junior team as he continues to inspire the next generation of golfers.

Luke Donald has named Paul McGinley as Strategic Adviser to the 2025 European Ryder Cup Team, adding further vast experience behind the scenes to Europe’s quest to retain the trophy at Bethpage Black in New York next September.

Having already named Thomas Bjørn and Edoardo Molinari – who were alongside him at Marco Simone last year – as Vice Captains once again, the addition of McGinley by Captain Donald adds considerable additional know-how and understanding of the Ryder Cup arena to Team Europe’s build-up and preparation.

The Irishman led Europe to victory in the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland, having previously featured on three winning teams as a player, and twice more as a Vice Captain.

In addition, since 2019, the 57 year old Dubliner has also been part of the Ryder Cup Advisory Committee which was set up to help maximise the commercial impact of the contest. He will continue in that role, alongside Chair Sir Damon Buffini, Ian Ritchie and Richard Scudamore.

McGinley said: “It is clear we have built a very strong template for winning at home in Ryder Cups but I see my job as helping Luke, his Vice Captains and his backroom team to look at an away match differently to how we’ve looked at it before.

“I would say that the first important step we made in that regard was to reappoint Luke as Captain. He has the most recent experience of anyone in that role and we should look to utilise that experience and harness his knowledge.

“In addition to advising strategically on an away match, I see this role as two-fold for me. Firstly, I will be very much in the background as an independent sounding board for Luke and his Vice Captains, someone they can confide in, converse with and bounce ideas off.

“Secondly, I will provide an important link between Luke and the Advisory Committee so that not only are they aware of team plans, but also to ensure we are all pulling in the same direction.”

McGinley is perfectly placed to advise on the particular challenge of winning a Ryder Cup away from home having done precisely that on two occasions; firstly as a player in 2004 at Oakland Hills under Bernhard Langer, and secondly as a Vice Captain to José María Olazábal at Medinah in 2012.

In both those matches the link to current Captain Donald was present; partnering the Englishman in his very first Ryder Cup match on the Friday morning in 2004, and having him as one of the players assigned to mentor as Vice Captain in 2012, the match where Donald led Europe’s Sunday singles order to the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history.

Donald said: “Paul is someone whose thoughts and opinions on golf I have always respected. We have talked a lot over the past few years and those conversations are always stimulating and challenging. He is someone that you have to listen to when talk turns to the Ryder Cup. Naturally, I am delighted to have him formally involved with the 2025 team.

“I might not have been at Gleneagles in 2014 but I know what an amazing job Paul did. He redefined a lot of the Ryder Cup Captain’s role with his meticulous approach to it, and I feel every Captain since 2014 has benefited in some way from what he achieved at Gleneagles.

“I personally got a lot of sound guidance from Paul in the build up to Rome which was a massive help to me. Myself and Paul, as well as my two Vice Captains, Edoardo and Thomas, all have similar beliefs as to what it means to represent Team Europe and what we expect from our players.”

Donald led Europe to a 16½ – 11½ victory against the United States at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy, last year. He was reappointed to the role in November, becoming Europe’s first repeat Captain since Bernard Gallacher led Team Europe in three consecutive Ryder Cups in 1991, 1993 and 1995.

The former World Number One is now aiming to become only the second Captain to lead Europe to victories both home and away, following Tony Jacklin who achieved the double at Muirfield Village in Ohio in 1987, retaining the Ryder Cup following his team’s victory two years previously at The Belfry, in England, in 1985.

Luke Donald has appointed Edoardo Molinari as his first Vice Captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup which will be played at Bethpage Black, New York, USA from September 26-28, 2025.

Molinari will return to Donald’s backroom team after a highly-successful stint in the role for the 2023 Ryder Cup in his native Italy, where Team Europe secured a memorable 16 ½ – 11 ½ victory against the United States at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.

The Italian, alongside his brother Francesco, was part of the victorious European Team as a player in the 2010 Ryder Cup at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. He has also won three times on the DP World Tour and made 402 Tour appearances to date.

The 42-year-old, a popular figure within the game, proved crucial to Team Europe’s success in Rome, with Captain Donald placing a key emphasis on Molinari’s statistical analysis model in the months leading up to, and during, the biennial contest.

Molinari said: “I’m very happy. It’s something that I’m very proud of and probably means I did a pretty decent job last time, so I cannot wait to help the team and Luke again in Bethpage and I’m really looking forward to it.

“Luke called me the very day he was named captain, a little before the official announcement, and said he really enjoyed working with me in Rome and would like my help again. We had another chat about a week later, maybe 30 or 40 minutes on the phone, chatted about a few things and he asked me and I said of course, I would happily do it all over again.

“I think Rory put it best in the press conference after Rome, he said the most difficult thing in golf these days is to win an away Ryder Cup. It hasn’t been done in many years now, Luke was part of the team in Medinah, the last one that Europe won away, and hopefully we can produce something similar.

“I cannot wait. I’ve never been part of an away Ryder Cup. I heard it will be very tough, very difficult, you need to have a lot of patience and calmness, but I cannot wait to get started. I cannot wait to be at Bethpage with the whole team, it’s going to be a long two years waiting for that week, but it will be extremely exciting and hopefully we can win again.”

European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald said: “Edoardo is someone I have got to know very well over the last couple of years and he’s going to be a great addition again for the 2025 Ryder Cup.

“He plays a very significant role. He’s playing full-time out here on the DP World Tour, he’s a good player, a Ryder Cupper and he knows what it’s all about. He’s around the players a lot and he works with a lot of players on their statistics as well.

“I’ll lean heavily on him with the qualification criteria and then when we get close to the matches, how the team is forming, how their skillsets match to the golf course at Bethpage and whether they’re more foursomes-related pairings, fourballs-related players, and putting those pairings together.

“We spent a lot of time together over the last couple of years, we grew very close. He was extremely important to the whole journey and the process and he’ll be even more important on this away one. If we can create some history and try and win away from home, it’s going to be a very, very sweet four years together.”

Molinari and his brother Francesco followed compatriot Costantino Rocca into Ryder Cup folklore when they represented Europe in the Ryder Cup in 2010 at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales.

The Molinaris became the first brothers to compete against the United States since Bernard and Geoffrey Hunt played in the 1963 Great Britain & Ireland team, when they played in the 2010 contest at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. They halved their fourballs match against Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar, while Edoardo contributed another crucial half point in his singles match against Rickie Fowler as Europe triumphed 14½-13½.

In addition to his three victories on the DP World Tour, Molinari was also the Challenge Tour Number One in 2009 and is a respected member of the DP World Tour’s Tournament Committee.

Before turning professional, Molinari won the 2005 US Amateur Championship and alongside Francesco, claimed the World Cup of Golf for Italy in 2009 at Mission Hills in China.

Luke Donald has been named as the European Captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York.

The 45 year old Englishman returns to the role having led Europe to a 16½ – 11½ victory against the United States in the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy, earlier this year.

He will become Europe’s first repeat Captain since Bernard Gallacher performed the role in three consecutive Ryder Cups, in 1991, 1993 and 1995.

Donald will be aiming to become only the second Captain to lead Europe to victories both home and away, following Tony Jacklin who achieved the double at Muirfield Village in Ohio in 1987, retaining the Ryder Cup following his team’s victory two years previously at The Belfry, in England, in 1985.

Donald said: “I’m delighted and honoured to have been given the chance to lead Team Europe in the Ryder Cup once again. 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.

“I’ve been fortunate as a player to have had many amazing times in the Ryder Cup over the years and so to add being a winning Captain to that, to form bonds with the 12 players like we did in Italy and to get the result we did, was very special indeed.

“The Ryder Cup means so much to me, so to be Captain again and have the chance to create more history by becoming only the second European Captain to win back-to-back is exciting.

“There is no question that being a Captain away from home is a tough task. But I have never shied away from challenges throughout my career and it is precisely the kind of thing that motivates me. I can’t wait to get another 12-strong team to Bethpage in 2025.”

Guy Kinnings, Executive Director – Ryder Cup, said: “Luke was a superb Captain in Rome and we are delighted that he will be returning to the role for the 2025 Ryder Cup in New York.

“He demonstrated clear, calm and meticulous leadership skills in Rome, and all those qualities will be big assets again for Luke and Team Europe as they take on the considerable challenge of trying to retain the Ryder Cup against a strong US Team backed by passionate support in New York.”

Donald featured as a player in the last European Team to win on American soil at Medinah Country Club in 2012 when he led José María Olazábal’s side out in the singles, securing the first blue point on the board in one of the most famous comebacks in the history of the biennial contest.

In total, he represented Europe in the Ryder Cup four times as a player, being part of a winning team on all four occasions, contributing 10½ points from his 15 matches.

He then served as a Vice Captain in 2018, under Thomas Bjørn, and Pádraig Harrington in 2021, before becoming Captain for the first time at the 2023 contest in Rome.

Donald also has an impressive in individual playing career having been World Number One for a total of 56 weeks, while in 2011 he became the first player in history to top the money lists on the European Tour (now the DP World Tour) and the PGA TOUR in the same year.

Team Europe entered the final day singles matches with a six point lead after a remarkable clean sweep in Wednesday’s four-balls at Golf Nazionale, and they drove home their home advantage with seven victories and three ties in 12 Thursday singles matches at this year’s Ryder Cup venue, triumphing 20 ½ to 9 ½.

Germany’s Helen Briem provided the Europeans with some early momentum after her 2&1 win over Yana Wilson, before Kris Kim defeated Miles Russell 5&4 to extend Europe’s advantage.

Spaniard Andrea Revuelta holed the winning putt to seal outright victory for Team Europe for the first time since 2004 when they won the trophy on American soil at Westfield Group Country Club in Ohio.

Scotland’s Conor Graham overcame American Jay Leng Jr 1 UP, while Swede Meja Örtengren defeated Gianna Clemente 3&2. Irishman Sean Keeling and Italian Giovanni Binaghi provided the two other European victories.

In the final match to finish on the course, Italy’s Francesca Fiorellini provided a moment of magic on the 18th green as she came back from 2 DOWN with two holes to play, holing a putt from 25 feet to tie the match in front of a raucous home crowd.

European Junior Ryder Cup Captain Stephen Gallacher was delighted to bring home the trophy for his side and believes the future is bright for European golf.

“It feels absolutely amazing,” he said. “I am so proud of this team and what they have achieved. The team spirit has been unbelievable, and it has been a privilege to be their Captain.

“Every player took control of their own game and they’ve done everything I could have asked of them. The standard of golf has blown me away and it has been inspiring to watch. We are looking at future Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup stars.

“The kids have been fantastic and the way they bounced back at times was sensational. I’ve been blessed to have a front row seat and it’s been an honour just to watch them play. Some of these boys and girls will be future World Number Ones for sure.

“The standard and the talent out there is unreal and the future is bright for Europe. They have all been superstars. The way they dealt with the pressure of playing in this arena has been exceptional and I think our team wanted it a bit more today.”

The two teams – comprising 12 of the best male and female junior players from each of Europe and the United States – entered the second day tied at 6-6, before the home side took control, winning all six four-ball matches at Golf Nazionale in Rome.

The Europeans made the perfect start to the four-balls when Spaniard Rocio Tejedo and Scotland’s Connor Graham overcame American twins Anna and Billy Davis 3&2 in the first match, before Sweden’s Meja Örtengren and Englishman Kris Kim also defeated Yana Wilson and Miles Russell 3&2.

Europe extended their lead with German duo Helen Briem and Peer Wernicke securing a 2&1 triumph over Leigh Chien and Nicholas Gross, followed by Italians Francesca Fiorellini and Giovanni Binaghi’s impressive 4&3 victory against Kylie Chong and Jay Leng Jr.

Team Europe continued to dominate as Spain’s Andrea Revuelta and Ukrainian Lev Grinberg overcame Ryleigh Knaub and Jackson Byrd 1 UP before Sweden’s Nora Sundberg and Ireland’s Sean Keeling defeated Gianna Clemente and Will Hartman 3&1 to make it six from six for Stephen Gallacher’s team.

“It was awesome,” said Gallacher. “We came out firing and took control of the session from the word go. We took a hit yesterday afternoon and I knew they wanted to bounce back today. The team spirit yesterday evening was terrific and I’m so proud of all of them.

“Every player took control of their own game and they’ve done everything I could have asked of them. They were playing their own ball today which helped them play their own game.

“There are still 12 points left to play for and anything can happen. It’s important not to get complacent and we need to just focus on winning the session.

“I’m having an amazing time as Captain. The standard of golf is phenomenal, and I think seven under par was our lowest score today which is amazing to see. I’m seeing so many good shots that it is inspiring.”

U.S. Junior Ryder Cup Captain Paul Levy is hoping his team can bounce back tomorrow, with the Americans needing to recover the six-point deficit to retain the trophy.

“I’ve seen a lot of Ryder Cup competitions in my time and today we got beat emphatically,” he said. “They played exceptionally, and we didn’t put the ball in the hole quick enough.

“Tomorrow, we need to win nine of the 12 points to retain the Junior Ryder Cup and we’re going to have to dig deep and see if we can keep that cup.

“My boys and girls have heart. They’re going to go out there and be competitive. I’m hoping something very special can happen at Marco Simone.”

The decisive single matches will begin tomorrow at 7:30am local time at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the Ryder Cup venue, on the eve of the 44th edition of the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.

In a change to the previous format, the Junior Ryder Cup will now take place over three days instead of two with Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the Ryder Cup venue, hosting the decisive singles matches for the first time on Thursday. The final day will also be broadcast live on television.

The three-day tournament, featuring two teams of 12 of the best male and female junior players from Europe and the United States, began this morning in the Italian capital with foursomes – which saw Europe take a 4-2 lead – followed by mixed foursomes in the afternoon.

After a strong start from the Americans girls which saw Gianna Clemente and Yana Wilson grab the first point of the day with a 2&1 win over Spaniards Rocio Tejedo and Andrea Revuelta, the European girls fought back with German Helen Briem and Italian Francesca Fiorellini defeating Ryleigh Knaub and Kylie Chong 5&4 to earn Europe’s first point of the tournament.

The U.S. boys pairing of Jay Leng Jr. and Billy Davis looked to have secured another point for their team, jumping into a commanding 6 UP lead after nine holes in their match against Graham and Keeling, however the European duo bounced back heroically to tie the match.

In a toe-to-toe match Swedish duo Nora Sundberg and Meja Örtengren were level with Americans Anna Davis and Leigh Chien heading down the last, before the Europeans won the final hole to claim a 1 UP triumph.

Elsewhere Ukrainian Lev Grinberg and Englishman Kris Kim tied with Jackson Byrd and Will Hartman, while German Peer Wernicke and Italian Giovanni Binaghi overcame Miles Russell and Nicholas Gross 1 UP.

“It was a day of two halves,” said European Junior Ryder Cup Captain Stephen Gallacher. “The foursome play is always so close and it difficult for the players to find a rhythm. To end the day in a tie is a good and fair result, I felt we edged the morning session, and they were the better team in the afternoon.

“I’m so proud of all of my team, especially Sean and Connor this morning who refused to give in and showed incredible courage to come back from six down at the turn. It was evident that we won the morning session because of their score and the rest of the team fed of that energy.

“We have a great harmony in the group, and I could have paired anyone with anyone. Honours are even and we will try and win the two sessions tomorrow.

“Everyone is playing their own ball tomorrow and they will feel more comfortable with that so I am looking forward to another good day.”

During the afternoon mixed foursome sessions, the Europeans started brightly with a commanding 3&1 victory from Örtengren and Kim over Clemente and Byrd before the Americans mounted an impressive comeback from twins Anna Davis and Billy Davis – who birdied two of their three closing holes to tie with Tejedo and Graham.

Revuelta and Grinberg tied the third match with Chong + Jay Leng Jr, before the Americans sealed three consecutive victories from Wilson and Russell, Chien and Gross, plus Knaub and Hartman which meant the teams will enter the second day level on points.

“The whole day was close throughout and I think to finish six points each is a fair score,” said U.S. Junior Ryder Cup Captain Paul Levy. “A few things went the way of the Europeans in the morning and a few things went our way in the afternoon.

“We showed some great fighting spirit to bring the matches even and we never gave up. We stayed focus, made our putts and we are looking to carry that momentum into tomorrow.”

Tomorrow’s four-ball matches, featuring all 24 players, will begin at 10:45am local time.

In a change to the previous format, the Junior Ryder Cup will now take place over three days instead of two with Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the Ryder Cup venue, hosting the decisive singles matches for the first time, which will also be broadcast live on television.

Golf Nazionale, which hosted the Italian Challenge Open earlier this year, will be the venue for the first two days of foursomes and fourballs between male and female juniors from Europe and the United States, on Tuesday September 26 and Wednesday September 27. The competition will then move to Marco Simone Golf & Country Club on Thursday September 28, the day before the venue hosts the Ryder Cup itself, providing an exciting curtain-raiser to golf’s greatest team contest.

The 2023 European Junior Ryder Cup Team, captained by 2014 Ryder Cup player Stephen Gallacher, consists of six boys and six girls. The six automatic qualifiers included three boys – Englishman Kris Kim, Ireland’s Sean Keeling and Germany’s Peer Wernicke – and three girls – Spain’s Rocio Tejedo, Swede Meja Örtengren and Germany’s Helen Briem.

Six players were then selected by Gallacher: Scotland’s Connor Graham, Ukraine’s Lev Grinberg and Italian Giovanni Binaghi for the boys, while Sweden’s Nora Sundberg, Spain’s Andrea Revuelta Goicoechea and Italian Francesca Fiorellini were selected for the girls.

“It is a tremendous honour to be Captain of the European Junior Ryder Cup side and I am looking forward to working with and showcasing the most exciting future talent in Europe,” said Gallacher. “My uncle has captained the Ryder Cup team three times and I was lucky enough to play in 2014 so the Ryder Cup has always been a big part of my life.

“I’ve got a front row seat to watch the best players in the world at their level and golf’s future World Number Ones.

“We’ve got a very strong team and we’re looking forward to a robust but fair competition against the U.S played in the spirit of the game.

“Playing the final day at Marco Simone will be a magical experience for the teams who get the opportunity to compete in front of Ryder Cup crowds on the Ryder Cup course for the first time.

“Walking on to the first tee yesterday during our practice round and getting to meet Captain Luke Donald was an amazing experience for our team.”

The U.S. Team, captained by PGA Past President Paul Levy, is seeking its seventh straight victory and owns a 7-3-1 all-time record in the biennial competition. The team features six boys and six girls who are U.S. citizens and members of the high school graduating class of 2024 or younger.

The 2023 U.S. Team includes Junior PGA Championship winner Gianna Clemente, Leigh Chien, Kylie Chong, Anna Davis, Ryleigh Knaub, Yana Wilson for the girls. The selected boys comprises Junior PGA Championship winner Miles Russell, Jackson Byrd, Billy Davis, Nicholas Gross, Will Hartman, Jay Leng Jr.

“These are the greatest young players in America and they are ready to flourish on the biggest of stages this week. It’s going to be a special tournament for everyone involved. This is not just about wanting to win for your continent but it’s also about the fellowship, the friendship and the memories that the players will create.

“This is a very special experience to be in Rome. For a Ryder Cup, I don’t think we’ve ever had a better venue. It’s a special match play golf course.

“To be the U.S. Team Captain is an absolute honour and it is by far the proudest moment in my career.”

The six automatic qualifiers comprise three boys – Englishman Kris Kim, Ireland’s Sean Keeling and Germany’s Peer Wernicke – and three girls – Spain’s Rocio Tejedo, Swede Meja Örtengren and Germany’s Helen Briem. The automatic qualifiers earned their place on the European Junior Ryder Cup team through a season-long ranking system, which was organised by the European Golf Association.

Six players were then selected by Gallacher: Scotland’s Connor Graham, Ukraine’s Lev Grinberg and Italian Giovanni Binaghi for the boys, while Sweden’s Nora Sundberg, Spain’s Andrea Revuelta Goicoechea and Italian Francesca Fiorellini were selected for the girls.

Gallacher said: “I would like to congratulate the players selected to represent Europe in the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup. They have all performed brilliantly over the past year and their selection is fully justified.

“I’ve been to several of the qualification events this year and I’ve been blown away by the standard of golf on show. We’ve got a very strong team and it is going to be a fiercely contested tournament against the United States.

“It is a tremendous honour to be their Captain and I am looking forward to working with and showcasing the most exciting future talent in Europe.

“We are relishing the prospect of taking on the United States in Rome and playing the final day single matches at Marco Simone will be a memorable experience for both sets of players.”

Kim, winner of the recent 96th Boys’ Amateur Championship at Ganton, topped the male Junior Ryder Cup Order of Merit to secure his place in Rome, and he will be joined by Keeling who finished second on the rankings.

Keeling finished third at the Portuguese International Amateur Championship, before reaching the third round of matches in the Spanish Amateur Championship.

The third and final automatic qualification spot was taken by Wernicke after an impressive campaign which included a third place finish at the Spanish International Amateur and a runner-up finish at the German Boys Open.

For the girls, Tejedo topped the Order of Merit thanks to a sensational season, which included two victories at the Portuguese International Ladies’ Amateur Championship and German Girls Open. Tejedo also secured a runner up finish at the recent European Girls’ Team Championship, in addition to third place finishes at the Spanish International Amateur Championship and French International Girls Championship.

Tejedo, currently sitting third in the European Golf Rankings and 37th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, will be joined in Rome by her fellow automatic qualifiers, Örtengren and Briem.

Örtengren has tasted success twice in 2023, firstly winning the French International Girls Championship before adding the European Ladies’ Team Championship in Finland, whilst Briem became the first German to win The R&A Girls’ Amateur Championship in its 104-year history to secure the final automatic qualification spot.

Gallacher then selected the talented trio of Graham, winner of the recent European Men’s Team Championships in Slovakia, Grinberg and Binaghi.

Grinberg, at the 2022 Soudal Open in Belgium, became the second-youngest player to make a cut in the DP World Tour’s history at the age of 14.

He also picked Sundberg who won the Spanish International Amateur Championship and the European Girls’ Team Championship earlier this year, Goicoechea who finished second in the French International Girls Championship, and Fiorellini, meaning there will be two Italians taking part in the Junior Ryder Cup on the eve of the country hosting the Ryder Cup itself for the first time.

The first two days of the Junior Ryder Cup will be played at Golf Nazionale before the decisive singles matches are held at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the Ryder Cup venue, on the eve of the 44th edition of the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.

Joins Thomas Bjørn, Edoardo Molinari and Nicolas Colsaerts in Luke Donald’s backroom team

Together with Seve Ballesteros, remains the most successful partnership in Ryder Cup history

Luke Donald has named Ryder Cup legend José María Olazábal as his fourth Vice Captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup which will be played at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy, from September 26 – October 1, 2023.

The 57-year-old Spaniard is synonymous with the biennial contest against the United States, having played for Europe on seven occasions from 1987 to 2006; been a Vice Captain on three further occasions, in 2008, 2010 and 2014; and, of course, was Captain for the most famous European comeback victory of all time at Medinah in 2012.

In his seven Ryder Cup appearances as a player, which yielded three wins and a tie in 1989 which saw Europe retain the trophy, Olazábal played 31 times, winning 18 of those matches and returning 20½ points in total for the European cause. His partnership with the late, great Seve Ballesteros still stands head and shoulders above any other pairing in the contest’s history, the Spanish duo winning 12 points from their 15 outings together.

Outside of the Ryder Cup arena, Olazábal has notched up 33 professional wins worldwide in a storied career, including 23 on the European Tour from 1986 to 2005. But he is best remembered for his two Masters triumphs at Augusta National – in 1994 and 1999 – the second being especially emotional as it came in the wake of fears that rheumatoid arthritis might mean he would never play professionally again.

Olazábal joins the successful European Ryder Cup Captain of 2018, Denmark’s Thomas Bjørn, in Luke Donald’s backroom team, alongside Italian Edoardo Molinari, a winner with Team Europe in 2010, and Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts, a member of Olazábal’s winning Medinah team alongside Donald in 2012.

Olazábal said: “With my previous experiences in the Ryder Cup I am obviously thrilled to be back involved once again. I am really looking forward to feeling that special adrenaline flow, the intensity and the electricity that only the Ryder Cup can bring – I’m really excited to be part of it all again.

“It was a very nice surprise to be asked by Luke. I didn’t expect it but I was delighted when the call came. My role will be the same as the rest of the Vice Captains, namely to support and help Luke and the 12 players in any way we can, so they can perform at their best and be able to win that trophy back.

“I have no doubts that Luke will be a great Captain. He has played in the Ryder Cup four times and won four times and he therefore knows what is required to perform well in the match.

“He is great on detail and how important things like team spirit are. On top of all of that, he is still very much a competitive player playing at a high level. Because of that he is close to the players and he knows what they will need to perform to their best. My job as Vice-Captain will be to help him achieve that.”

Captain Donald said: “When you think of José María Olázabal, you immediately think of the Ryder Cup. He brings amazing passion and I couldn’t be more excited to have him on board.

“He was my Captain when I last played in the Ryder Cup – at Medinah in 2012 – and I thoroughly enjoyed playing for him that year. He picked me to play number one in the singles and that was hugely gratifying.

“To know he had that respect and confidence in me to go out and lead Europe in such a pressurised last day environment meant a lot and this feels, perhaps, that I am returning that favour a little bit, as I have a huge amount of confidence in him.

“Just his mere presence brings energy to any Ryder Cup environment and I saw that first hand when I asked him to be involved in the Hero Cup we staged in Abu Dhabi at the beginning of this year.

“He was such a big part of that week, being with the players and sharing stories with them of just what the Ryder Cup is all about. People notice when José María walks into a room and you could see at the Hero Cup how much everyone respected him and admired him for all he’s done in the game. I could not be more excited to have him on my team.”

Stephen Gallacher will captain Team Europe at the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup, while Ryder Cup Europe and the European Golf Association have today confirmed the selection process for the European junior team.

The Scot, a four-time DP World Tour winner, was part of the European team that defeated the United States to retain the Ryder Cup in 2014, winning 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 at Gleneagles Hotel.

Six boys and six girls will take on the USA in Rome from September 26-28, 2023, with the first two days of the Junior Ryder Cup being played at Golf Nazionale before the decisive singles matches are held at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the Ryder Cup venue, on the eve of the 44th edition of the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.

Three boys and three girls will earn a place on the European Junior Ryder Cup team through a season-long ranking system, which has been organised by the European Golf Association, while the remaining six players will be selected by Gallacher, the European Junior Ryder Cup Captain.

The Scot set up the Stephen Gallacher Foundation to help and encourage junior golfers in Scotland and he will now lead the European junior team in Rome as he continues to inspire the next generation of golfers.

“I am absolutely delighted to be named Junior European Ryder Cup Captain for 2023,” said Gallacher. “It’s a privilege to be able to lead a team of the best juniors in Europe against America in Rome.

“Playing the final day at Marco Simone will be a fantastic experience for our players who get the opportunity to compete in front of Ryder Cup crowds on the Ryder Cup course for the first time.

“I’m really looking forward to getting to some events during the year and working with the most exciting future talent in Europe.”

Players will earn points for the Rankings based on their finishing position in selected elite amateur events in 2023 and these points will be allocated using the World Amateur Golf Ranking system. The qualification process will end following The R&A Girls’ and Boys’ Amateur Championships on August 20, 2023.

Boys and girls who are citizens of a European country as defined by the International Golf Federation’s Nationality Policy, under 18 years of age on January 1, 2023, and who are not enrolled to play college golf in USA during 2023 are eligible to participate in the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup.

The Junior Ryder Cup has produced a plethora of golfing stars and once again in 2023 the best male and female junior amateurs from Europe and the USA go head-to-head in the mixed event.

Rory McIlroy and Nicolas Colsaerts, the recently-appointed European Ryder Cup Vice-Captain, both triumphed in the event before also winning The Ryder Cup, while Suzanne Peterson and Carlota Ciganda both succeeded as amateurs before lifting the Solheim Cup.

– Final day of the Junior Ryder Cup to be held at Ryder Cup host venue for the first time
– New format introduced for 2023, with the first two days taking place at Golf Nazionale
– Singles matches to be held at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Ryder Cup Europe today announced that the final day of the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup will be played at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, in Rome, on the eve of the Ryder Cup.

In a change to the previous format, the Junior Ryder Cup will now take place over three days instead of two, with the Ryder Cup venue hosting the decisive singles matches for the first time.

Golf Nazionale, which hosted the Italian Challenge Open earlier this year, will be the venue for the first two days of foursomes and fourballs between male and female juniors from Europe and the United States on Tuesday September 26 and Wednesday September 27.

The competition will then move to Marco Simone Golf & Country Club on Thursday September 28, the day before the venue hosts the Ryder Cup itself, providing an exciting curtain-raiser to golf’s greatest team contest.

Edward Kitson, the Ryder Cup Match Director, said: “Playing the Junior Ryder Cup singles matches at Marco Simone will be a fantastic experience for the 24 players who get the opportunity to compete in front of Ryder Cup crowds on the Ryder Cup course.

“It will also be another great spectacle for the fans who will be able to see some of the most exciting future talent in action, alongside the final practice day for the Ryder Cup followed by the opening ceremony which includes the announcement of the first day pairings.”

The Junior Ryder Cup features the best male and female junior amateurs from Europe and the United States in a head-to-head mixed event, with both teams comprising of six boys and six girls.

Past Junior Ryder Cup players include Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas – all of whom have gone on to become World Number One and Major Champions in the men’s game – as well as women’s Major winners Suzann Pettersen and Lexi Thompson. In all, 23 Junior Ryder Cup participants have subsequently represented their continents in either the Ryder Cup or Solheim Cup.

Both the European and United States Junior Ryder Cup teams will feature six boys and six girls who must not have turned 18 before January 1, 2023 and must not be enrolled to play college golf in the USA during 2023.

In 2018 at Golf Disneyland Paris, Europe narrowly missed out on a first victory since 2006, as Team USA triumphed 12 ½ – 11 ½. The 2020 edition of the Junior Ryder Cup was cancelled due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

The Qualification process and Captains for both the European and American Junior Ryder Cup teams will be announced shortly.

He has played on four winning Ryder Cups and was Vice Captain in the last two contests.

The 44 year old is a former World Number One.

Luke Donald has been named as the European Captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy from September 25 – October 1, 2023.

Donald represented Europe in the Ryder Cup four times as a player, being part of a winning team on all four occasions, including in 2012 when he led Team Europe out in the Singles, securing the first blue point on the board in the ‘Miracle at Medinah’.

He also has served as a Vice Captain in the last two editions of the biennial contest, under Thomas Bjørn in 2018 and Pádraig Harrington last year.

The 44 year old Englishman’s impressive individual playing career includes holding the position of Number One on the Official World Golf Rankings for a total of 56 weeks, and in 2011 he became the first player in history to top the money lists on the European Tour (now the DP World Tour) and the PGA TOUR in the same year.

Donald said: “I am incredibly proud to be named European Ryder Cup Captain for 2023. It is truly one of the greatest honours that can be bestowed upon a golfer, to lead a team of your peers and be an ambassador for an entire continent.

“I feel extremely privileged to have been given that responsibility and it is a responsibility I do not take lightly.

“Some of my best experiences in golf have been in the Ryder Cup and I would not swap those for anything. It is an event like no other and I cannot wait to create more special memories in Italy next year.

“I love everything the Ryder Cup embodies, from the camaraderie and companionship of being part of a team, to the history of the contest, but most of all playing for something bigger than yourself.

“Rome will be a fantastic host city, and I have always enjoyed spending time there. It is a city rich in history and hopefully we can create some of our own in 14 months’ time.”

Guy Kinnings, the European Ryder Cup Director, said: “Luke is a former World Number One who possesses a superb Ryder Cup record, so he undoubtedly has the credentials required to be a successful European Captain.

“He is hugely respected by the players and by the wider support team at Ryder Cup Europe who have already done an immense amount of work behind the scenes to give him a strong platform for the remaining 14 months before the match gets underway.

“We have continued the tradition of moving forward with players in the role of Captain who have excelled in the Ryder Cup arena; and in terms of Luke, we are combining that experience with strong leadership and a meticulous approach. On behalf of everyone at Ryder Cup Europe, we look forward to fully supporting him in the quest to reclaim the Ryder Cup next year.”

Donald has wasted little time in ensuring continuity in the key backroom area of Team Europe, confirming that both existing Vice Captains – Thomas Bjørn and Edoardo Molinari – will continue in their respective positions.

“In my opinion, it was essential that Thomas and Edoardo remained part of the team. They were the first two calls I made once I got the nod to be Captain and I’m delighted that they are fully on-board.

“Nobody needs any explanation of how important Thomas is to the Ryder Cup – one glance at the history books will show you that. He has lived and breathed European golf for the past 30 years and having his know-how behind me, not least as a winning Captain, will be vital.

“Furthermore, Edoardo has blazed an impressive trail for himself in the world of stats and his knowledge in this area with the players who will be on the team, in addition to extra-special Italian element he will bring to the entire occasion, is an extra bonus for Team Europe.”

Donald boasts a formidable playing record in the Ryder Cup, contributing 10½ points from his 15 matches.

He made his debut as part of Bernhard Langer’s record-breaking team at Oakland Hills Country Club in 2004, halving his opening match with Paul McGinley against Chris Riley and Stewart Cink, before teaming up with Sergio Garcia in the foursomes to defeat Cink and Kenny Perry 2&1 on the Friday, followed by a 1 up Foursomes victory with Garcia against Jim Furyk and Fred Funk on the Saturday.

Donald claimed a maximum three points from his three matches at The K Club, in Ireland, in 2006 under the captaincy of Ian Woosnam as Europe retained the Ryder Cup with a second consecutive 18½-9½ victory. He once again teamed up with Garcia in the Foursomes, defeating Tiger Woods and Furyk 2 up on the Friday, then Phil Mickelson and David Toms 2&1 on the Saturday, before exacting revenge on Chad Campbell for his loss in the Singles two years earlier with a 2&1 victory.

His next appearance came at The Celtic Manor Resort in 2010 when he contributed a further three points from his four matches, partnering Ian Poulter to defeat Bubba Watson and Jeff Overton 2&1 in Foursomes, before teaming up with Lee Westwood to beat Steve Stricker and Woods 6&5 in the same format. Donald then defeated Furyk on the final hole of their Singles match as Europe claimed a memorable 14½-13½ win in Wales.

Donald was also an integral part of another dramatic European victory two years later in Illinois, the State where he studied at Northwestern University. Partnering Garcia in the Saturday afternoon Fourballs against Woods and Stricker, his stunning tee shot inside Woods’ on the elevated par three 17th hole was a pivotal moment in the Miracle at Medinah, as the pair went on to win their match on the final hole, shortly before Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy reduced the deficit to four points with their victory against Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner.

Captain José María Olazábal then handed Donald the responsibility of leading Europe out in the Sunday Singles against Bubba Watson, and Donald duly set the tone for one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the Ryder Cup, winning his match 2&1.

Donald had entered the record books of his own accord a year previously when in 2011 he became the first player to top the season-long money lists on both sides of the Atlantic, winning the Player of the Year award on the PGA TOUR and Golfer of the Year in Europe in the process.

His four victories that season included the WGC-Accenture Match Play, defeating Ryder Cup teammate Martin Kaymer in the final to reach World Number One for the first time.

He also won the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, a title he successfully defended in 2012 to take his total of victories on the DP World Tour to seven.

Donald returned to the Ryder Cup arena in 2018 when he was selected as a Vice Captain by Thomas Bjørn at Le Golf National in Paris, a role he also performed last year at Whistling Straits under Pádraig Harrington.

* Joins 2018 winning European Captain Thomas Bjørn in Henrik Stenson’s backroom team

* The Italian will also provide statistical support to Captain Stenson

Henrik Stenson has named Italian Edoardo Molinari as his second Vice Captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup which will be played at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy from September 25 – October 1, 2023.

Molinari, alongside his brother Francesco, was part of the victorious European Team in the 2010 Ryder Cup at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. He has also won three times on the DP World Tour, previously known as the European Tour, and has made 356 Tour appearances to date.

The 41-year-old is Stenson’s second Vice Captaincy appointment, following the announcement earlier this month of Dane Thomas Bjørn, the successful 2018 European Captain.

Molinari will undoubtedly be a popular addition to Team Europe amongst the home support when Italy hosts the biennial contest for the first time next year.

He said: “It is fantastic. I played the Ryder Cup in 2010 and to be able to be a Vice Captain in this one is a dream come true. It was a very unexpected call from Henrik. We had chatted a few times about stats and what I could do to help the team, but I never expected this.

“Knowing Henrik, he will leave no stone unturned. He will do everything he can to win the Ryder Cup back. It will be a lot of fun for all the guys playing for him too. He has always been a very friendly guy, and is always smiling, so I think it will be a fantastic atmosphere in the team room.

“The Italian fans will be loud and passionate at Marco Simone. For the players, it will be a lot of fun to play in front of such supportive crowds. Rome is a fantastic city, one of my favourites in the world. It is going to be a great week overall and I am very happy that the players will get to experience Rome.”

Stenson said: “I’m delighted to welcome Edoardo to the 2023 European Ryder Cup team as a Vice Captain. I’ve known him for a long time and he is obviously a Ryder Cup player himself. He is really into stats and he works with a few of the players who will potentially be on my team.

“I asked him if he would do me the honour of joining the team and he was delighted to. I’m very happy to have him on board and I’m very much looking forward to his input and to lean on his experience. With him being Italian, it is going to be an extra special week for him.

“I envisage Thomas and Edoardo as the working group that I will lean on for the foreseeable future. There will be a lot of healthy discussion and input between us. I’m delighted to have both of them as part of Team Europe.”

Molinari and his brother Francesco followed compatriot Costantino Rocca into Ryder Cup folklore when they represented Europe in the Ryder Cup in 2010 at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales.

The Molinaris became the first brothers to compete against the United States since Bernard and Geoffrey Hunt played in the 1963 Great Britain & Ireland team, when they played in the 2010 contest at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. They halved their fourball match against Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar, while Edoardo contributed another crucial half point in his singles match against Rickie Fowler as Europe triumphed 14½-13½.

In addition to his three victories on the DP World Tour, Molinari was also the Challenge Tour Number One in 2009 and was, for a number of years, a respected member of the DP World Tour’s Tournament Committee.

Before turning professional Molinari won the 2005 US Amateur Championship and alongside Francesco, claimed the World Cup of Golf for Italy in 2009 at Mission Hills in China.

* Dane joins Team Europe for 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Italy

* Bjørn led Europe to victory in Paris in 2018

* He also played in three Ryder Cups and was previously Vice Captain on four occasions

Henrik Stenson has named Thomas Bjørn as his first Vice Captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup which will be played at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy from September 25 – October 1, 2023.

Dane Bjørn will bring a wealth of experience to the role having been part of Team Europe in eight previous editions of the biennial contest – three as a player, four as a Vice Captain and as victorious Captain in the last ‘home’ Ryder Cup in Paris in 2018.

Stenson was one of Bjørn’s 12 players in that successful team at Le Golf National and the Swede has now confirmed his fellow Scandinavian as his first official appointment since he was unveiled as European Captain on March 15.

“I have known Thomas for my whole career,” said Stenson. “I trust him implicitly and I know any advice he will give me will be honest and direct. He will not simply tell me what he thinks I want to hear and that will be important, so I’m delighted to have him as my first Vice Captain for Rome.

“Since the match itself is still over a year away, I know I am going to have a lot of conversations with him about all elements of the Ryder Cup from his experience, both as a Vice Captain on previous occasions but also, obviously, as the Captain in 2018 when we had a great result. I will be depending on him a lot and I’m really looking forward to those chats.

“He was very happy when I asked him. He was very honoured to be asked and happy to be part of Team Europe again and part of the journey with the players.”

Bjørn said: “I’m delighted to be part of the whole Ryder Cup experience once again. I probably thought that after 2018 that was it for me, but Henrik called me to talk about Captaincy in general and that led into him asking me if I wanted to do another stint as Vice Captain, which I agreed to. I’m excited to work with him.

“I think I can help Henrik outline what he wants to do with his Captaincy going forwards. I can keep asking him the right questions and reminding him of things that are going to come his way that he might not have thought about. I will help him prepare in the best possible way and as we get closer to the match, to be an additional support to the players.

“I think Henrik will be a fantastic Captain. He is so well respected by players and by everyone in the game. He is a very hard-working golfer and somebody who is true to himself, and his team will represent that. He has a great sense of humour that the players will take to, and he is very well liked across the whole Tour, not just the top where he has played his golf for so many years.”

Bjørn’s Ryder Cup career began under Seve Ballesteros in 1997 when he became the first Dane to represent Europe and Valderrama became the first course in continental Europe to host the contest. He won one-and-a-half points from his two matches in Spain, partnering Ian Woosnam to defeat Justin Leonard and Brad Faxon in the fourballs, and then halving with Leonard in the singles.

He then contributed two points from his four matches at The Belfry in 2002, teaming up with Darren Clarke to defeat Tiger Woods and Paul Azinger in the fourballs, and beating Stewart Cink 2&1 in the singles.

His third appearance as a player came 12 years later when he qualified for Paul McGinley’s team at Gleneagles in 2014, where he partnered Martin Kaymer to earn half a point against Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker in the Friday fourballs.

Bjørn was also part of Team Europe’s backroom team on three occasions in between those playing appearances, firstly as Vice Captain to Bernhard Langer at Oakland Hills in 2004, then Colin Montgomerie at The Celtic Manor Resort in 2010 and José María Olazábal at Medinah in 2012.

After playing in the 2014 victory in Gleneagles, he then returned to the role of Vice Captain under Darren Clarke in 2016, experiencing his only defeat to date in the Ryder Cup arena at Hazeltine National.

Bjørn, who has won 15 times on the DP World Tour to date, was then selected as the European Captain in 2018 as Le Golf National, in Paris, became the second venue in continental Europe to host the Ryder Cup.

He oversaw a comprehensive 17½-10½ victory in France, with Stenson’s contributing three points from his three matches as Europe extended its unbeaten home record to six consecutive editions dating back to Bjørn’s debut in 1997.

Bjørn will now be part of Captain Stenson’s support team at Marco Simone when Italy hosts the Ryder Cup for the first time.

Team Europe will be seeking to regain the Ryder Cup against the United States team which will be led by Zach Johnson, who has named Steve Stricker, the victorious 2020 US Captain, as his own first Vice Captain.
