Jose Maria Olazabal named as one of Luke Donald’s Ryder Cup vice captains

Luke Donald has named Spain’s Jose Maria Olazabal as his third vice-captain for the Ryder Cup in New York in September.

Olazabal was part of Donald’s backroom team in 2023 for Europe’s memorable victory in Rome and again joins Dane Thomas Bjorn and Edoardo Molinari of Italy.

Olazabal, who made seven appearances in the competition as a player, was the last captain to oversee a European victory on American soil in the famous comeback at Medinah in 2012, and this will be his fifth time as vice-captain.
