Henrik Stenson has been confirmed as Europe's captain for the Ryder Cup in 2023.
The 45-year-old Swede made five Ryder Cup appearances as a player, including during Europe's victory at Le Golf National in 2018.
Stenson succeeds Padraig Harrington, who he assisted during last year's record-breaking loss in Wisconsin.
Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Italy will host the biennial event from September 29-October 1 next year, live on Sky Sports' dedicated Ryder Cup channel, where Europe will be desperate to regain the trophy after their 19-9 reverse at Whistling Straits.
I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to be the European Ryder Cup captain - it is a huge honour and I was humbled to get the call confirming the news," Stenson said.
"I would like to thank the selection panel for believing in me and will say to them, and every European golf fan, that I will do everything in my power and leave no stone unturned in the quest to get the Ryder Cup back in European hands.
"The Ryder Cup is golf, and sport, at its very best. I got goosebumps every time I pulled on a European shirt as a player and that will be magnified in the role of captain.
