Luke Donald MBE is one of the few golfers to achieve sustained success as both a player and team leader. A former World Number 1 for 56 weeks and a four-time Ryder Cup winner as a player, he made history as the first golfer to top both the PGA and European Tour lists in the same year.

Background

Through meticulous preparation and calm leadership, Luke guided Team Europe to a remarkable Ryder Cup victory in Rome in 2023. His performance as captain was so highly regarded that he was reappointed to lead the team in 2025, where he became only the second captain in history to win back-to-back Ryder Cups. His path to captaincy was paved by earlier stints as vice-captain in 2018 and 2021, including being part of the winning side as vice-captain in 2018.

While the captaincy has defined his recent career, Luke’s playing record is equally distinguished. Defying early doubts about his ability to reach the top of the game, he spent a cumulative 56 weeks as World Number 1 and over 200 weeks inside the world’s top ten. He became the first golfer ever to lead both the PGA Tour and European Tour money lists in the same year, and the first Englishman to be named PGA Player of the Year. A four-time Ryder Cup player, Luke was part of four victorious European teams, memorably setting the tone on the final day at Medinah in 2012, where Europe produced one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.
