Molinari, 45, returns for a third Ryder Cup role as Donald seeks a statistical edge for Europe’s title defense.

- Donald added that Molinari has been "a rock of support" to him and the team. He navigates the qualification system and advises on golf course setup to maximize home-field advantages for Team Europe.
- Expressing his immediate acceptance, Molinari said the decision was simple: "It was a very easy decision when Luke called me." He expressed eagerness for the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Ireland.
- The Ryder Cup is scheduled for Adare Manor in September 2027. Molinari, who played in the 2010 victory in Wales alongside his brother Francesco, brings proven tournament experience to Donald's backroom team.
