Luke Donald is staying on as Europe's Ryder Cup captain for its title defense in 2025 at Bethpage Black. The 45-year-old Donald led the Europeans to a 16½-11½ victory over the United States outside Rome last month. He will be the first to captain Europe in back-to-back Ryder Cups since Bernard Gallacher. He was captain in 1991, 1993 and 1995. Only Tony Jacklin has led Europe to wins at home and away in golf's biggest show. That was at The Belfry in 1985 and then at Muirfield Village in Ohio in 1987. The last team to win a Ryder Cup on the road was Europe at Medinah in 2012.
