As the dust finally settles on another Ryder Cup event, the talks about the next one are already underway. Team Europe enjoyed a wonderful time at the Marco Simone Golf Course as they regained the Ryder Cup. Along with the performances of the players, captain Luke Donald also enjoyed praise from several people. His brilliant leadership skills at the greens have led to the question – should he continue to remain as the captain for the 2025 event?

The biennial tournament will now be played in 2025 at the Bethpage Course in New York City. With most of the team still young, plenty of them who appeared in Rome could likely make a return in NY. So should Donald continue to remain as team captain? There is a popular saying that states “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

His team selection before the tournament was questioned as Adrain Meronk was snubbed. However, his tactics during the tournament worked like a gem. Meanwhile, his counterpart Zach Johnson had a nightmare of a tournament.

Following this defeat, Johnson has been slammed by several across the country for his picks, team selections, and strategies. It is likely that he will not be returning to the event next year. A huge name in the form of Tiger Woods has now emerged as his successor.

Will Luke Donald and Tiger Woods be captains at Ryder Cup in 2025?

As Team Europe and their captain Luke Donald continue to bask in their Ryder Cup glory, the thoughts for the next event have already started. When Donald was asked whether he would lead the side in the next tournament, the 40-year-old claimed that he would give it a thought. He though has not fully ruled out the possibility of being their leader again. If he does return, he could possibly go against one of the golf greats Tiger Woods.

“I’ll obviously consider it. I’ve certainly not given it any thought at the moment,” Donald was quoted by the Guardian. He further added, “I want to enjoy right now. I want to enjoy this week.” He would mention how long the process was and that he would sit down with his family and have a word. “We will see what happens in the future.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Ryder Cup, the mere mention of Woods as a potential candidate got the audiences excited. Earlier this week, former Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger suggested that the 48-year-old golf veteran should be the next candidate.

With time catching up to the golf great, he could very well put his playing days behind and take up some role of a leader and mentor and pass his knowledge to the upcoming stars.
