VIRGINIA WATER, England — Europe captain Luke Donald filled out his 12-man roster for this month’s Ryder Cup with six players who helped the team win back the trophy in Rome two years ago.
Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg and Matt Fitzpatrick were announced Monday as Donald’s picks for the Sept. 26-28 matches against the United States at Bethpage Black.
Donald will be taking a familiar lineup to New York, returning 11 of the 12 players who won the Ryder Cup for the European team in 2023. Indeed, the only change two years on sees Rasmus Hojgaard play instead of his twin brother, Nicolai.
Hojgaard is the only Ryder Cup rookie, having automatically qualified along with Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Robert MacIntyre, Justin Rose and Tyrrell Hatton.
