Luke Donald continues to build the European Ryder Cup 2027 team on the same foundations that brought him glory in Rome and Bethpage. The English captain announced on Tuesday that Francesco Molinari will be his second vice-captain for the next edition, which will be played at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland, from 13 to 19 […]

Francesco doesn’t want to deceive anyone (and least of all himself)

Silvia Pereira — Wed, 06 May 2026 14:53:13 +0000

In recent weeks, even months, there has been a resurgence from an extraordinary player who had been out of the front line for some time. It is Francesco Molinari. The Italian, present this week at the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship, missed the cut last week in Turkey, it’s true, but he had been sixth in […]

– As expected, the 65 that Francesco Molinari (-7) signed in the morning session of the first day of the Dubai Desert Classic has placed him at the top of the leaderboard by the end of the day. He hasn’t won a tournament in almost seven years (Arnold Palmer Invitational 2019), but even if only […]

It is unclear whether Francesco’s or Rory’s performance is more surprising

– Francesco Molinari (-7) is the first standout leader of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. The Italian has delivered a magnificent card of 65 strokes that was not on any roadmap. The wind and the greens, very fast and increasingly hard, have sharpened the claws of the Majlis course at the Emirates Golf Club. It […]

In Denmark, rabbits kept coming out of the hat…

– Brilliant first day of the Danish Golf Championship on the demanding and interesting course at Fureso Golf Klub, on the outskirts of Copenhagen. The morning leader, Marco Penge (-7) ended up being the leader at the end of the day as well, because scorecards like his (64 strokes) are not going to be abundant […]

Luke Donald has named Francesco Molinari as his fourth vice-captain for the Ryder Cup 2025, which will be held at Bethpage Black, New York (United States), from 26th to 28th September 2025.

Chacarra officially enters the Ryder Cup radar

Alejandro Rodríguez — Wed, 21 May 2025 16:42:11 +0000

Que Eugenio López Chacarra had caught the attention of the Ryder Cup Europe working group some time ago is absolutely irrefutable. His past victory in LIV Golf stands as evidence. However, it can now be said that he has officially entered the radar of Luke Donald and his assistants. This is primarily due to his […]

The two anecdotes of Seve that lifted the troop’s morale

Alejandro Rodríguez — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 14:28:16 +0000

– Niklas Norgaard is the only player from Continental Europe who clearly won his singles match in the Team Cup this Sunday. He defeated Matthew Jordan by 3 and 2. The Dane assured shortly after shaking hands with the Englishman that he went out to play with sky-high motivation. “If they told me I had […]

Never before seen in the Team Cup… nor in the Seve Trophy

Alejandro Rodríguez — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 14:18:50 +0000

– How paradoxical and whimsical sport can be. Continental Europe is currently enduring the biggest thrashing in history in the Team Cup (and Seve Trophy), and yet the rookie most likely to make it to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage is the Frenchman Matthieu Pavon, the only bastion alongside Romain Langasque from Francesco Molinari‘s ranks. […]

The surprising inaction of Francesco Molinari (and Donald)

Alejandro Rodríguez — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 09:29:33 +0000

Francesco Molinari does not deviate from the plan. They say every teacher has their own way, but it certainly surprises. Not even the heavy defeat in the first two sessions of play, Friday’s fourballs and Saturday morning’s foursomes, both by 3.5 to 1.5, has made him change the strategy with the pairs. In fact, this […]
