Europe Keeps Luke Donald as Ryder Cup Captain; U.S. Captaincy Still in Question

Europe confirms Luke Donald will captain the Ryder Cup for a third straight time, reinforcing their momentum and home-field advantage in Ireland; attention shifts to the U.S., where captaining remains unsettled after Tiger Woods reportedly declined the 2025 offer and Keegan Bradley’s struggles, with Brandt Snedeker viewed as a potential 2027 choice. The Americans face an uphill path in a Ryder Cup era where Europe has controlled momentum and seems poised to extend its success into the 2027 event.

Tiger Woods has been asked by the PGA of America to captain the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup in Ireland, but he hasn’t decided yet.

Korda Questions WTGL Format, Sees Growth in Mixed-Play Opportunity

Nelly Korda criticized Tiger Woods’ WTGL and its planned women’s league, calling it a missed opportunity not to pair the game’s top men and women on the same stage with equal prize money; she also said she sees value in the opportunity and hasn’t ruled out participation. The piece notes broad sentiment in golf that mixed formats could help grow the sport, and seven players — Jeeno Thitikul, Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson, Lexi Thompson, Charley Hull, Rose Zhang and Lottie Woad — have committed to the WTGL for 2026-27, with Korda still deciding. It also highlights skepticism that a women-only league would move viewership.

Koepka’s PGA Tour comeback aided by Tiger Woods’ backing

Brooks Koepka returns to the PGA Tour after leaving LIV Golf, with Tiger Woods helping pave his path back as part of a broader Tour plan approved by the board; the deal includes a $5 million charitable contribution (to be finalized), no FedEx Cup bonus this year, no equity shares for five years, and restrictions on the $20 million signature events until he qualifies. Koepka, who cited family reasons for leaving LIV, says he’s grateful and nervous to compete again, with his first PGA Tour start back coming at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines and Woods advocating for the move as beneficial to the tour and its players.

Woods Clears Path for Koepka's PGA Tour Return

Tiger Woods helped craft the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program to reintegrate LIV Golf major winners, including Brooks Koepka, with conditions such as no sponsor exemptions to signature events, no FedEx Cup bonuses in 2026, a $5 million fine, and five years in the equity program. Koepka’s return would be merit-based and additive for the Tour and its fans, though some restrictions apply. The plan also hints at potential returns for Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith, but Woods indicated the Tour is unlikely to actively pursue them right away as talks toward unified competition continue.
