The countdown to the 2027 European Ryder Cup team selection has started, with the British Masters marking the beginning of the qualifying process. Scheduled to take place from August 27-30 at The Belfry, hosted by Sir Nick Faldo, this tournament kicks off a year-long period during which DP World Tour members can accumulate points to secure a spot on the team. The top six players on the Ryder Cup points list will automatically qualify for Team Europe, with the qualifying window closing on August 22, 2027.
Luke Donald will then finalize his 12-player roster with six Captain's Picks, to be announced in the week of August 30, 2027. The 2027 Ryder Cup is set to take place at Adare Manor in Ireland from September 17-19, 2027, with the European team, led by Donald, aiming for a third consecutive victory.
Donald, who will become the first golfer to captain three consecutive Ryder Cups since Bernard Gallacher, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming qualification process, citing the wealth of talented European players and the unique factors that will make the 2027 Ryder Cup special, including its 100-year anniversary and the support of the Irish crowds.
