Thomas Bjorn has been reappointed as Europe vice-captain for the Ryder Cup defence in New York by Luke Donald

The European team has made an exciting announcement as they prepare for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York. Former Ryder Cup-winning captain Thomas Bjorn has been confirmed to reprise his role as assistant to European skipper Luke Donald for the upcoming tournament. This reappointment comes as a show of continuity and experience for the European team, as Bjorn previously served in the vice-captaincy role under Donald’s leadership during the victorious 2024 tournament in Rome.

The confirmation of Bjorn’s reappointment was made by Donald, who expressed his confidence in the invaluable contribution and insight that Bjorn brings to the team. Joining Bjorn in the re-engagement is Italian Edoardo Molinari, adding further depth and experience to the European coaching staff for the highly anticipated event in New York.

Luke Donald has articulated his belief in the importance of continuity as the European team seeks to secure a victory on US soil for the first time since 2012. With Bjorn’s extensive experience, having previously represented Europe three times as a player and taken on the vice-captaincy role on five occasions, there is a wealth of knowledge and understanding that will undoubtedly benefit the team in their quest for success.

As the preparations for the 2025 Ryder Cup continue to unfold, the reappointment of Thomas Bjorn and the addition of Edoardo Molinari will undoubtedly bolster the European team’s prospects as they strive to make their mark in New York. With Sky Sports set to provide exclusive live coverage of all three days of the event, anticipation is building for what promises to be a thrilling and momentous tournament.
