Ryder Cup 2027 qualification process unveiled for European team

The European Ryder Cup qualification for the 2027 event will begin at the Husqvarna British Masters at The Belfry from August 27‑30 and run through August 22, 2027. Eligible DP World Tour members can earn points in a year‑long schedule that will include both DP World Tour and PGA Tour events, with the exact tournaments to be confirmed later.

The six leading players on the Ryder Cup points list at the end of the period will qualify automatically for Team Europe. Captain Luke Donald will then select six additional “captain’s picks” to complete the 12‑man squad. Donald said, “The start of qualification is always a notable milestone in the Ryder Cup journey… I am delighted to today confirm details of our process for the 2027 European Team.”

The 2027 Ryder Cup will be contested at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland, from September 13‑19, marking the competition’s 100‑year anniversary. Europe will seek a third consecutive victory over the United States.
