The 2025 Ryder Cup has only just concluded at Bethpage Black, but many eyes are already turning to Adare Manor in 2027.

Adare Manor is the next host of the Ryder Cup, with the iconic venue situated in Ireland’s County Limerick.

Luke Donald could serve as European captain for a third successive time at Adare Manor, having won in Rome and New York in his two appearances thus far.

But it remains to be seen what decision the Englishman will take after the hard-fought success at Bethpage Black.

Donald has been praised after leading Europe to an away win, while his opposite number Keegan Bradley has been criticized for his decision-making throughout the week.

Phil Mickelson won’t be the USA captain at the 2027 Ryder Cup, an event Sir Nick Faldo referenced when congratulating Europe on their latest victory.

He wrote on X: “Congratulations to Team Europe on a historic win – that required skill, nerve, guts, determination, and a disgusting amount of patience!

“Captain Luke and his team deserve special praise for their outstanding preparation, which laid the groundwork for this success.

“And a heads-up for the US… this team will still be together at Adare Manor!”

Will Luke Donald be the European Ryder Cup captain in 2027?

The powers that be will still be picking up the pieces from their defeat at Bethpage Black, which was set to be a huge embarrassment before a fine comeback was produced.

But their superb Sunday singles showing was too little, too late, leaving Bradley with much to regret in the immediate aftermath.

He gave his all, but it was ultimately not enough against Donald, who would be welcomed with open arms by all Europeans if he decided upon another captaincy.

European star Jon Rahm wants Donald as captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup, but whether he has enough in the tank to take on the exhausting, high-pressure role once more is another question.

But even without Donald, the home side in Ireland could look very similar to what it did at Bethpage Black given the star talent involved and their potential to do it again.

They are also an extremely tight-knit group, with Rasmus Hojgaard representing the only change in New York from Rome, and even then he replaced his twin brother Nicolai.
