Less than two weeks after Ryder Cup Europe removed Henrik Stenson as its 2023 captain, a replacement has officially been named.
Luke Donald, a four-time Ryder Cupper and a vice captain for each of the past two editions, will lead the home side next year at Marco Simon Golf Club in Rome.
"So excited and truly honored to be named European Ryder Cup captain," Donald said. "I’m really looking forward to the next 14 months and getting my team ready for Rome."
The decision comes after Stenson signed with LIV Golf, a move that prompted Ryder Cup Europe and DP World Tour officials to meet with the newly appointed captain last week.
