Luke Donald will captain Europe again at the 2027 Ryder Cup at the Adare Manor course in Ireland as he bids to become the first man to lead a side to three consecutive wins in the competition, officials announced on Wednesday.

The 48-year-old Englishman, a former world number one, previously led Europe to victory in the biennial golf tournament in Rome in 2023 and then at Bethpage Black in New York last year.

"The last two Ryder Cups have meant a lot to me and my family," said Donald in a European Tour statement.

"I didn't imagine this third time would come," he added ahead of what will be the centenary Ryder Cup.

"Celebrating on that Sunday night in New York after a pressure-packed week in a tough environment, I thought maybe my job was done – but maybe there is a little more story to tell." (AFP)
