Luke Donald 'humbled' by Padraig Harrington's endorsement for next Ryder Cup captain
LA QUINTA, Calif. – Padraig Harrington doesn’t know when the DP World Tour plans to name the 2023 European Ryder Cup captain. But he appears to have a preference.
“All I can say is that Luke [Donald] would be great. Behind the scenes, he does a terrific job. His management style … he knows,” Harrington told The Daily Mail this week. “He’s got the experience, and I’d thoroughly recommend him.”
Harrington is one of five people on the selection committee that will pick the next European captain and told The Daily Mail that when Lee Westwood removed his name from consideration to focus on competing it opened the door for Donald, who played on four winning European teams.
