Luke Donald became the first European captain since Tony Jacklin to win back-to-back Ryder Cups
Luke Donald will attempt to become the first captain to win three Ryder Cups in a row after his third term as European skipper was confirmed for next year's edition in Ireland.
Having won the competition four times as a player and twice served as vice-captain, Donald led Europe to a 16½-11½ win over the USA in Rome in 2023 before masterminding last year's dramatic 15-13 triumph in New York.
Donald will be the first European captain to serve three consecutive terms since Bernard Gallacher between 1991 and 1995.
Next year's Ryder Cup takes place at Adare Manor in County Limerick from 17-19 September.
