Overview
- Donald will meet Ryder Cup Europe chief executive Guy Kinnings in Dubai this week to discuss leading Europe at Adare Manor in 2027.
- He remains undecided and says he has a couple of months to choose, with captaincy announcements typically made in March.
- The two-time winning captain is weighing a home campaign’s extra workload, travel from Florida, and family commitments, and says Bethpage hostility will not dissuade him.
- Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood have publicly backed his return, while Francesco Molinari is viewed as a leading alternative if he declines.
- Chasing an unprecedented third win and a potential matchup with a Tiger Woods–led U.S. team are cited as enticements, though the American captaincy remains unconfirmed.
