Luke Donald will look to mastermind a hat-trick of Ryder Cup wins for Team Europe in Ireland next September.Following a chastening loss at Whistling Straits in 2021, Donald took on the European captaincy and led his side to a brilliant victory in Rome two years later.Donald captained Europe to victory in 2023 and 2025 and is now attempting to become the first skipper to lead a Ryder Cup team to three consecutive wins – on what will be the contest’s 100th anniversaryGettyDonald stayed on as skipper to produce one of the finest Ryder Cup wins ever as Europe destroyed the USA at a hostile Bethpage Black last year.He has now decided to stay on as captain for Adare Manor 2027 with the hope of making it three in a row, which no other captain has ever achieved. Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will go head-to-head in Ireland in what will be the 100th anniversary of the world’s best golf event and we are set up for another thriller.Ryder Cup 2027: Dates and scheduleThe 2027 Ryder Cup will take place from Friday, September 17 to Sunday, September 19.It is being held at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland.There will be an opening ceremony held on the Thursday night plus the traditional gala dinner on the Wednesday evening.Friday will see a morning session of four foursome (alternate shot) matches held before four fourball (better ball) matches held in the afternoon.At the 2023 event in Rome, the United States failed to win a single match on the Friday, the first time that has happened in Ryder Cup history.Saturday will see the same format held before Sunday then showcases the 12 singles matches.A total of 28 points are up for grabs with a team needing 14½ points to win the cup. Should it be tied after the Sunday matches, Europe will retain the cup.Donald’s Europeans will be red hot favourites to win the 2027 Ryder CupGettyRyder Cup 2027: Teams and captainsFor the third time in a row, Donald will skipper the team at Adare Manor following his wins in Italy and New York.He will up against 2003 US Open champion Jim Furyk this time around.Padraig Harrington and Franceso Molinari have been confirmed as vice-captains for the Europeans while Stewart Cink and Justin Leonard have been announced in America’s back-team.Both captains are expected to include six automatic qualifiers and six captain’s picks.The European qualification campaign is already open while Team USA’s points window will begin at The American Express in mid-January.Donald is expected to keep his team largely intact from his last two selections.McIlroy helped Europe win the Ryder Cup again last yearGettyMcIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland and Robert MacIntyre will be the backbone of the roster while Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton will be selected regardless of what happens with LIV Golf.Irishman Shane Lowry will almost certainly be included in his home event and Justin Rose will hope to make it again too despite turning 47 years old next year.That would leave two places up for grabs with Aaron Rai, Marco Penge, Kristoffer Reitan, Sepp Straka, Matt Wallace and the Hjogaard twins among those in contention. As for America, Scheffler, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark will be their star men.Sam Burns, Russell Henley, Chris Gotterup, Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas will also likely be involved.Ben Griffin, JJ Spaun, Jacob Bridgeman, Akshay Bhatia, Maverick McNealy will hope to stake their claims while 21-year-old Jackson Koivun made America’s 2026 Presidents Cup team.Bryson DeChambeau will no doubt make the team too despite the ongoing LIV issues.Predicted Ryder Cup teamsTeam Europe – Luke Donald (captain)Rory McIlroyTommy FleetwoodLudvig AbergMatt FitzpatrickViktor HovlandRobert MacIntyreJon RahmTyrrell Hatton Shane Lowry Justin Rose Marco PengeKristoffer ReitanTeam USA – Jim Furyk (captain)Scottie SchefflerCameron YoungWyndham ClarkBryson DeChambeauCollin MorikawaChris GotterupXander SchauffeleJustin ThomasJackson KoivunSam BurnsRussell HenleyAkshay BhatiaAdare Manor will host the next Ryder CupRyder Cup 2027: VenueAdare Manor was first built in 1862 and was renovated specifically for the Ryder Cup ten years ago.The Robert Trent Jones golf course was added to the property in 1995 before Tom Fazio redesigned it in 2015 once JP McManus had purchased the resort.Adare Manor hosted the Irish Open in 2007 and 2008 and has regularly held the popular JP McManus Pro-Am.The course itself is perfect for matchplay with several risk-reward holes and plenty of water hazards in play.It will be a par 72 and a maximum yardage of 7,550 yards.Highlights include the run of holes from the third to the seventh and from the 14th to the brilliant 18th finishing hole.A huge grandstand will be erected around the first tee once again which will also offer views of the ninth green, the tenth and the 18th.
