Luke Donald prepares Ryder Cup scouting trip to Adare Manor

European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald is organizing a scouting visit to Adare Manor in Ireland next week as the qualification cycle for the 2027 tournament begins. The trip involves a group of notable players including Rory McIlroy, Jon Raham, Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Tyrrell Hatton, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Tommy Fleetwood. These players are scheduled to attend following the Amgen Irish Open at Trump International Golf Links at Doonbeg. The scouting mission is intended to familiarize team members with the 2027 venue and build cohesion ahead of the event. Qualification for the squad officially opened last week at the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo. Donald, who led Europe to consecutive victories in 2023 and 2025, aims to utilize this early preparation to address course conditions and foster team dynamics before the competitive schedule intensifies.
