‘I’ll obviously consider it,’ says victorious captainDonald praises Rory McIlroy and team for collective spirit
Luke Donald will soon have a decision to make. The swell of support from Europe’s successful Ryder Cup team for Donald taking the captaincy again in 2025 plus, bluntly, the lack of obvious alternatives means the Englishman is certain to be offered a follow-up. This will be informal at first, with the scenario crystallising in the early part of next year.
Captaincy the Donald way – the very definition of thorough – is exhausting. The competitor in him will want to see whether he can retain the cup in the cauldron of New York’s Bethpage. There are, however, a multitude of elements to contemplate. Winning 16½-11½ at home is one thing; backing it up on American soil another entirely.
