VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Padraig Harrington has been chosen as captain of the Europe team for the 2020 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits.
The appointment of Harrington was announced by the European Tour at its headquarters at Wentworth on Tuesday.
The 47-year-old Irishman has served as vice-captain for the last three Ryder Cups, most recently under Thomas Bjorn last year when Europe regained the trophy outside Paris.
Bjorn was on the five-person panel that selected his replacement.
