Henrik Stenson has been confirmed as Team Europe’s captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup as the team seek revenge against their American counterparts.
Team Europe's official twitter account confirmed the news with a short clip followed by a short statement from the Swede on Tuesday. “Henrik Stenson. 2023, European Ryder Cup champion,” he said, with the European flag wrapped around him. The 45-year-old was a vice-captain under Padraig Harrington for Europe’s humbling 19-9 defeat to the United States at Whistling Straits last September.
Now he has been promoted ahead of next year’s tournament in Italy and is ready to lead the team in the best way possible. “I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to be the European Ryder Cup captain – it is a huge honour and I was humbled to get the call confirming the news,” Stenson added.
