- Pair in contention after Lee Westwood’s withdrawal
- McIlroy, Ancer and Berger share lead at Hero World Challenge
Henrik Stenson and Luke Donald are the leading contenders to captain Europe in the 2023 Ryder Cup, with Lee Westwood’s move to withdraw his name from the running leaving the European Tour with a decision that is far from straightforward.
Sources close to the European camp believe Stenson is the obvious frontrunner to succeed Pádraig Harrington for the biennial event should he wish to lead Europe in Italy. Speaking this week at the Hero World Challenge, Stenson suggested he is yet to make up his mind.
