Rory McIlroy has dismissed the idea of him potentially being a playing captain at the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland, an idea that he says was broached but quickly put to rest.
McIlroy, 35, who returned to action Thursday with a 65 at the Genesis Scottish Open in his first round since his heartbreaking second-place finish to Bryson DeChambeau at the U.S. Open last month, was asked the question in the context of Keegan Bradley’s appointment for the U.S. captaincy in 2025.
