Luke Donald has pledged loyalty to Europe after being appointed Ryder Cup captain, replacing Henrik Stenson who was sacked for defecting to LIV Golf.
The former world number one will lead Europe’s quest to win back the trophy from the United States in Rome in 2023.
He was passed over for the role when Stenson was appointed in March.
The Swede was stripped of the captaincy after only 127 days because he signed a reported £40m contract with the Saudi Arabian-funded LIV series.
Donald is the first English skipper since Sir Nick Faldo, who led the losing side in 2008.
