Francesco Molinari was named Wednesday as an assistant to European captain Luke Donald for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Ireland. He joins his older brother Edoardo on the backroom team. The Italian siblings served as Donald's assistants for Team Europe's wins outside Rome in 2023 and at Bethpage Black in 2025.
Edoardo provided statistical analysis during those events. The brothers also played together for Europe in the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor. " "I was very pleased when Luke asked me," he said. " In 2018, Francesco became the first European player to win all five of his matches in a single Ryder Cup during the team's victory at Le Golf National outside Paris.
He also won The Open Championship that year, his only major title.
