Harrington expected to be named European Ryder Cup captain next week
A Ryder Cup news conference has been called for next Tuesday, when it’s expected that Padraig Harrington will be named captain for the 2020 European team.
The European Tour has scheduled a news conference for 8 a.m. ET Tuesday at its headquarters outside London. The expectation is that Harrington, the three-time major champion, will be named the third Irish captain in the past four matches, joining Paul McGinley and Darren Clarke.
Though the press release doesn’t specifically say that the news conference is about the 2020 captaincy, the timetable for that decision makes sense.
