Ryder Cup: McIlroy Highlights Controversial Moments in Europe’s Victory Over US

Rory McIlroy, a key player in European golf, recently celebrated his sixth win in eight Ryder Cup appearances. This victory occurred at the renowned Bethpage Black course, marking McIlroy’s second triumph on American soil, echoing the unforgettable 2012 win at Medinah.

Future Aspirations: McIlroy’s Captaincy Dreams

McIlroy has expressed interest in one day serving as the European team captain. However, he anticipates that role will not materialize until the mid-2030s. During a recent interview, he humorously dismissed the idea of captaining the team as early as 2027, the year the Ryder Cup is set to be held at Adare Manor in Ireland. “I hope I’m still playing at that point and good enough to put points on the board for Europe,” he stated.

Transitioning Leadership

The world number two emphasized the importance of making way for new talent. “I would love to be the European team captain at some point,” McIlroy added. “But that will be when I’m not good enough to make the team.”

Upcoming Tournament: DP World Tour India Championship

As he looks ahead, McIlroy is set to compete in the inaugural DP World Tour India Championship. This new tournament takes place at the Delhi Golf Club, beginning on Thursday. He will be grouped with fellow Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland and US Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin.
