✅ Main takeaway:
Europe’s victory at Bethpage Black was McIlroy’s sixth in eight Ryder Cups and second in America after a memorable 2012 victory in Medina.
Speaking on Tuesday, Donald – who also led Europe to the 2023 title in Rome – said McIlroy would be a “good leader”, but the world number two does not expect to take the reins until the “mid-2030s”.
“Definitely not 2027 [at Adare Manor in Ireland]He said.
“Hopefully I can still play at that stage. But yes, I would like to be captain of the European team at some stage.
He added: “But that will be outside my playing days, or at least when my playing days are coming to an end and I’m not good enough to make the team, or make room for the new generation to come in.”
“Hopefully not in 2027. Hopefully I can still be good enough to play and get points in Europe.”
McIlroy returns to action at the DP World Tour India Championship – a new tournament – alongside Ryder Cup teammates Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland.
McIlroy, partnered by Hovland and US Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin, begins the first round on Thursday at Delhi Golf Club at 02:55 GMT.
