Few figures embody the spirit of the Ryder Cup quite like Luke Donald.

A former World No. 1 and a veteran of four European victories as a player, he has built his career on precision, consistency and an understated strength that has made him one of the most respected figures in the game.

His association with Rolex, which began in 2006, has accompanied him through some of his greatest achievements, from playing brilliantly on both sides of the Atlantic to guiding Europe to triumph in Rome in 2023.

That victory cemented his status not only as a player of distinction but as a captain capable of inspiring and uniting his team.

As he prepares to lead Europe once again at Bethpage Black, Donald reflects on leadership, legacy and the values that continue to shape him both on and off the course.
