Justin Rose Plans Playing Role Ryder Cup 2027 Amid Captaincy Speculation

Justin Rose played a key role in Europe's 2024 Ryder Cup victory at Bethpage Black, earning two points and leading all players in strokes gained on the green. At 45, Rose is aiming to compete again in the 2027 Ryder Cup as a player, despite speculation linking him to the Team Europe captaincy, a role he has yet to commit to due to concerns about how it might impact his playing schedule. Rose emphasized that the decision about captaincy is ultimately up to current captain Luke Donald, and he is focused on continuing to play well enough to be valuable to the team. Meanwhile, on the U.S. side, Stewart Cink expressed strong interest in becoming the Ryder Cup captain in 2027, hoping to help end the United States' long losing streak in the competition. Cink, a seasoned Ryder Cup player and assistant captain, is eager to bring his experience to the role but remains modest about campaigning for it. Both sides are looking ahead to leadership decisions that will shape their teams for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.
