Englishman Luke Donald has been named as the new European Ryder Cup captain after Henrik Stenson was sacked. Stenson was stripped of the captaincy after controversially signing a £40 million with LIV Golf.
Donald's appointment comes just a day after his predecessor scooped £3.3 million in prize money, as the Swede began his LIV Golf career with victory at Trump National, Bedminster. The Englishman will now take the reins and lead the European's to Rome next year, when they host their American rivals at Marco Simone.
Donald heads into the role with plenty of experience, having played in blue and gold four times - winning on all four occasions - whilst also acting as a vice captain in both 2018 and 2021.
