Irish golfer Padraig Harrington is hoping to be named as Europe’s Ryder Cup captain in 2020, according to a report on Sky Sports.
The world number 208 is currently set to miss out on being selected in Thomas Bjorn’s team in France for this year’s competition but he is already looking ahead to his future chances.
The 46-year-old revealed that it was his dream to captain Europe’s Ryder Cup team in the near future, saying that 2020 could be his year.
He said:
I would love to be a Ryder Cup captain down the road. I see [with] my game at the moment that putting my name in the ring to be Ryder Cup captain is coming sooner rather than later as it does not look like I will be playing my way into this year’s team.
But, as regards to 2026, it’s too late for me to wait. It would be too much of a risk. 2020 for sure would be good timing, in terms of where I will be in my career.
The three-time Major winner will be hoping to find some of his best form over the next few years to fulfil his dream of being the captain at the Ryder Cup.
