Donald led Team Europe<\/a> to a home win in Rome in 2023 before following that triumph with a dramatic victory<\/a> in New York last summer, with Europe\u2019s 15-13 win<\/a> meaning they were the first away team to win a Ryder Cup since 2012, when Donald himself featured as a player. <\/p>\n And while there have already been plenty of calls for the former world number one to remain in the role<\/a> ahead of the 2027 edition at Adare Manor in Ireland, he has so far refused to commit to anything concrete.<\/p>\n \u201cI talked to a few of the players and everyone I\u2019ve spoken to would like me to do it again. That means a lot,\u201d said the 48-year-old in an interview with The Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve obviously thought about it, but I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m in a big rush,\u201d he added, explaining that his wife Diane \u201cenjoyed the home one more too, and she loves Adare [Manor], she loves Ireland, so she would be all for it\u201d. <\/p>\n However, Donald also explained that he does have doubts, expressing that he \u201cwrestles with what the upside is\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve proved enough. It is a lot of work. My eldest daughter has two-and-a-half more years of school, so I\u2019d be away a little bit more than I\u2019d like before she goes to college. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to understand if I\u2019m able to pick the best players [in reference to the eligibility of LIV players]. Do I push my luck? I\u2019m trying to enjoy this one.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll seriously think about it in the new year.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Donald](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237955144.jpeg\")
