Harrington poised for Ryder Cup captaincy

Ireland’s Padraig Harrington is set to be confirmed next week as Europe’s next Ryder Cup captain for the 2020 renewal at Whistling Straits.

The European Tour has called a press conference at Wentworth for next Tuesday, presumably to confirm the appointment of the three-time major winner. He is set to be the third Irish captain in the past four Ryder Cups.
