Fresh from his encounter with fellow Italian golfer Francesco Molinari at the Abu Dhabi Golf Resort, Matteo Manassero has pledged to back his countryman for the highly coveted post of Ryder Cup captain. For Manassero, the attribute that stands out about his compatriot is his listening quality and his inspiring qualities for fellow teammates. With years of experience at the highest level, Molinari’s strategic mindset and calm demeanor make him a strong candidate to guide Team Europe in the next Ryder Cup.
Molinari is no stranger to the Ryder Cup but also instrumental in Europe’s win in 2018, where he created history with Tommy Fleetwood. Deeply understanding the level of intensity of the tournament and camaraderie needed to complete the journey would make him an excellent captain. Manassero thinks that Molinari is connected well with the players and that his approach is one of meticulousness, which might be the secret to another European win.
The Italian golf star has already taken on leadership roles, captaining the Continental Europe team in the 2023 Hero Cup. His composed yet determined nature, coupled with his wealth of experience, places him as a natural choice for the captaincy. Manassero’s endorsement further strengthens the case for Molinari, whose presence in the European camp would bring invaluable insight and motivation.
The speculation is growing on who will be the future captain of Team Europe for the Ryder Cup, and Molinari’s name continues to have momentum. His legacy in playing and his great rapport with future generations of European golfers make his case so compelling. He has Manassero saying he is more than ready with a proven performance record in the individual and team events that this career might just add “Ryder Cup captain”.
