4 Contenders to Be the Next European Ryder Cup Captain
Justin Rose has reportedly ruled himself out of contention to captain the European Ryder Cup team in 2027. The question now is: who will lead the team at Adare Manor?
According to The Telegraph, Rose plans to withdraw his candidacy to focus on his eighth Ryder Cup appearance as a player. At 45, he aims for a sixth Ryder Cup victory after a standout season that included a narrow loss to Rory McIlroy at The Masters and his first PGA Tour win in two years.
This decision leaves DP World Tour officials considering the next leader for Europe's title defense on home soil in Ireland. Will Luke Donald continue for a third term, or will a fresh face be chosen?
