On the Marco Simone green, Sunday, in Italy, the presentation of the trophy celebrating Europe’s 15th victory in the Ryder Cup had barely ended, Rory McIlroy, the soul and boss of this team, reiterated his love for a competition that he places above everything else.
Rory McIlroy, Europe: “An incredible day, an incredible week. I’m so proud to be part of this team, with all these guys, captain Luke Donald, the vice-captains… We were all marked by Whistling Straits (where the United States had won the previous Ryder Cup, in 2021). Those who were there all wanted to redeem themselves and prove to the world what we really are. And that’s what helped us achieve a great performance. There was new blood and all the young people rose to the occasion.
“This year marks a succession but the new ones were also inspired by a group that has been there for a while”
The future of this team is Ludvig (Aberg), Nicolai (Hojgaard) and Bob (Robert McIntyre), but also Rasmus (Hojgaard), who was there with his brother. Viktor (Hovland) and Jon (Rahm) are also going to be there as leaders for a long time. This year marks a change but these new guys were also inspired by a group that has been there for a while. Let’s keep an eye on this week, of course, but also on the future. I hope to do a few more and still have a good time with them, because there is nothing that gives me as much emotion as the Ryder Cup.
