Ryder Cup 2027: Luke Donald named Team Europe's captain for Adare Manor and chases historic three-peat over Team USA

Luke Donald will captain Team Europe for a third consecutive Ryder Cup after being named in the role again for the 2027 contest at Adare Manor in Ireland.

Donald has guided Team Europe to back-to-back victories over the United States, leading them to a 16.5-11.5 win in Rome in 2023 - avenging a record-breaking loss two years earlier - before successfully retaining the trophy in New York last September.

Team Europe built a record-breaking lead over Team USA over the first two days at Bethpage Black before closing out a 15-13 victory, seeing Donald join Tony Jacklin as the only European captains to win successive Ryder Cups.

The former world No 1 was described as the 'best European captain of all time' after their famous win on American soil, with the former world No 1 now confirmed to become the first since Bernard Gallacher to captain Europe in three consecutive Ryder Cups.
