Luke Donald is set to be named European Ryder Cup captain for next year’s match against the United States.
It has been widely reported that the Englishman, 44, will succeed Henrik Stenson, who lost the captaincy after signing with LIV Golf two weeks ago.
Donald has already promised that he “wouldn’t do a Henrik”, meaning he wouldn’t be swayed by the money offered by the Saudi-funded LIV series.
Europe will announce their new captain at 2.45pm BST on Monday.
Donald made four appearances as a player and was on the winning side each time in 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2012.
He was vice-captain to Thomas Bjorn in the 2018 France win and again to Padraig Harrington in last year’s record loss at Whistling Straits.
Stenson, 46, was stripped of his captaincy just 127 days after being installed.
The Swede, who said he disagreed with the decision, played his first LIV Golf event over the weekend, win at beminster to claim a top prize of £3.28m on top of the £40m entry fee.
Europe hosts the United States in the 44th Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone in Rome, Italy from September 29 to October 1, 2023.
