Padraig Harrington is named as one of Luke Donald’s vice-captains for the 2027 Ryder Cup. Multiple outlets report that the Irish three-time major champion joins Donald’s leadership team in a role supporting the Team Europe captain. The Ryder Cup is scheduled for September 2027 and is set to be played at Adare Manor in Ireland. The announcement is described consistently as Harrington being appointed the Europe side’s third vice-captain, indicating he takes one of the supporting positions alongside other vice-captains chosen by Donald. One report also places the appointment in the context of Europe’s recent Ryder Cup results, noting that Team Europe is seeking a third consecutive victory over the United States after winning in 2023 at Rome and in 2025 at Bethpage Black. Across the sources, the central points remain the same: Harrington’s appointment, his connection to Donald’s vice-captain team, the location and timing of the 2027 event, and Europe’s recent winning run.
