The 2025 Ryder Cup is fast approaching, but attention is already being fixed on the 2027 one.As is tradition, the next Ryder Cup will be held in Europe, with this year’s at Bethpage Black in New York. But 2027’s showpiece event will be held in a specific country for just the second time ever.And it will likely please a couple of the world’s top players, in particular.Where is the 2027 Ryder Cup being held?For just the second time since its inception, the Ryder Cup will be held in the Republic of Ireland.It is going to be held in County Limerick at the Adare Manor course.It is scheduled to get going on September 17 and will end on September 19.The build-up to the tournament starts on September 13.The course have known for quite some time that they would be the hosts of this event, with the selection being confirmed in 2019.This will be its biggest tournament the course has ever hosted, with it previously hosting the Irish Open in 2007 and 2008.There was then major renovation work on the course in 2017.This is a special anniversary for the Ryder Cup, given it is the 100th year since its inception in 1927.If Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are still at the top of their game, this would be a very special Ryder Cup for the pair.McIlroy has enjoyed some great Ryder Cup moments, but the chance to play in Ireland would surely be up thereGettyDespite it being two years away, the excitement for the competition is building already.DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings spoke about the 2027 Ryder Cup and golf in Ireland earlier this year.He said: “Rory McIlroy’s victory in the Masters last month to complete the career Grand Slam, combined with anticipation of July’s Open Championship (at Royal Portrush), has already heightened the buzz around golf on the island of Ireland.“This announcement will add to that excitement as Ireland continues its preparation to host golf’s greatest team competition for the second time in 2027 when the Ryder Cup celebrates its 100th anniversary.”Patrick O’Donovan, the Irish Minister for Arts, Culture, Communications, Media and Sport is also massively excited for the event to return to the Emerald Isle.He said: “The passion of Irish people for golf makes Ireland really stand out internationally as a golfing venue.“For Ryder Cup week, the eyes of the sporting world will be on the beautiful village of Adare and I am confident that the local community and the people of Limerick and Ireland generally will ensure this event is a wonderful success and that all who attend will want to return to visit Ireland again.”There is a lovely backdrop at the Adare Manor courseGettyWho will be the captains?The captains for the 2027 Ryder Cup are yet to be confirmed.This year, it is Luke Donald for Team Europe taking on the United Staes’ Keegan Bradley.Donald is looking for his second consecutive win as captain after guiding Europe to victory in 2023.He could take a third Ryder Cup, but there are other contenders.One man who is highly unlikely is McIlroy because he’s indicated that you can’t play and be the captain at the Ryder Cup.Of course, we don’t know what could happen in two years, but as it stands, it is hard to see McIlroy not being part of Team Europe.In fact, he’s already tuned down the opportunity of captaining a Ryder Cup in the near future.He said: “The idea of me being a playing captain sometime soon has come up, and I’ve shot it down straightaway.“You think about the extra media that a captain has to do, you think about the extra meetings that the captains have to do with the vice captains, with the PGA of America.“If you’d have said it 20 years ago, I’d say, ‘Yeah, it was probably possible to do,’ but how big of a spectacle and everything that’s on the line in a Ryder Cup now, I just think it would be a very difficult position to be in.”McIlroy has shut down any idea of him being a captain any time soonGetty Images - GettySeveral legends of the game feel Team Europe should go for Justin Rose.Rose is part of the 2025 team and finished as runner-up at the Masters as well, but some huge names have called for the Englishman to be the skipper.Sir Nick Faldo is one such name, and he thinks Rose would be the the perfect age to take on the role.Rose has also admitted it is something he would like to do.Speaking about it recently, he said: “I don’t want to speak too soon but it’s something I’d like to do, for sure, to be given the opportunity.“If the players felt like that’s something they would be up for, then absolutely. It’s an honor and responsibility that I would love and take seriously and give everything to.”Rose is set to take part in his seventh Ryder CupGettyFor Team USA, there is no real clear choice or contenders as of yet.If they win, Bradley could get a crack at being successful in Europe.However, a defeat on home soil would almost certainly scupper those hopes.
