Justin Rose makes final Ryder Cup captaincy decision ahead of 2027 tournament
Justin Rose played a key role in Team Europe’s historic Ryder Cup victory on American soil this September. Following that success, the English golfer was widely considered a favorite to succeed Luke Donald as team captain for the next tournament.
However, reports indicate that Rose, now 45, intends to withdraw from contention for the captaincy. Instead, he plans to focus on competing in his eighth Ryder Cup, which will take place in 2027 at Adare Manor, Ireland.
“I’d love to be captain one day,” Rose had said after Europe’s triumph, “but only if the timing is right.”
According to the Telegraph, Rose believes that the right time has not yet come. He remains fully committed to his playing career, having been instrumental in Europe’s latest win at Bethpage Black. Rose earned two points from three matches and formed a strong partnership with Tommy Fleetwood.
Looking ahead, Rose also hopes to represent Team Great Britain at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, aiming to reclaim the gold medal he first won in Rio in 2016.
His choice not to pursue the captaincy leaves DP World Tour officials with a complex decision. Many of Team Europe’s players have publicly encouraged Luke Donald—who captained them to successive Ryder Cup victories—to continue for another two years after their 15–13 win in the U.S.
Yet Donald, now 47, has offered no clear answer about his future, with insiders suggesting his chances of returning as captain are “less than 50–50.”
Author’s Summary
Justin Rose has stepped back from the 2027 Ryder Cup captaincy race, choosing to extend his playing career and keep open his Olympic ambitions for 2028.
