European captain Donald has taken 16 players to Adare Manor, venue of next year’s Ryder Cup
European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald led a scouting mission to Adare Manor, the site of next year's competition against the United States, with four rookie players in attendance. The advanced scouting trip, which brought together 16 players about 60 miles from the Irish Open venue at Trump International Golf Links at Doonbeg, included top-ranked Shane Lowry, who won the most recent edition of the tournament.
The team also selected Spanish duo Eugenio Chacarra and 21-year-old Angel Ayora, both of whom made ten top-10 finishes on the DP World Tour as rookies. Additionally, Alex Fitzpatrick and Kristoffer Reitan, both PGA Tour winners this season, were invited. Other team members in attendance include 2025 Ryder Cup veterans Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, Bob MacIntyre, Justin Rose, and Sepp Straka, along with last year's European champion Alex Noren and 2023 winner Nicolai Hojgaard.
