Luke Donald confirmed as new European Ryder Cup captain after Stenson sacking

Stenson was stripped of the captaincy after controversially signing a £40 million with LIV Golf.

Donald heads into the role with plenty of experience, having played in blue and gold four times - winning on all four occasions - whilst also acting as a vice captain in both 2018 and 2021. “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.

“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.” As well as the controversy surrounding Stenson, the Englishman faces a bigger task than most who have come before him due to the sheer strength of the American side.
