Team Europe captain Luke Donald has emphasized that there will be ‘zero complacency’ as he aims to secure a historic third consecutive victory over Team USA at the 2024 Ryder Cup in Adare Manor. Donald, who led Team Europe to a remarkable 16.5-11.5 win in Rome and a historic 15-13 victory at Bethpage Black, is determined to maintain the team's winning momentum.

With Team Europe having won their last seven home Ryder Cups, Donald acknowledges the challenge posed by Team USA. Jim Furyk, the captain of Team USA, has made significant changes to the team's qualification criteria and backroom analytics, aiming to break their 34-year winless streak in Europe.

Key Points:

• Donald insists on the strength of Team USA, stating: "On paper, they tend to be stronger than us through the world rankings."
• Furyk, who has been involved in every Ryder Cup since 1997, highlighted his commitment to improving Team USA’s performance, particularly in foursomes where they have struggled.
• Furyk expressed that Team USA is embracing their underdog status, saying: "We're the underdogs. We understand that. We've got a lot of work ahead of us."

Donald, while aware of the advantages of playing at home, maintains that "being at home is an advantage but we also know that the US are very strong." Both captains recognize the importance of preparation and teamwork, with Furyk demanding more from his players than ever before as they prepare for the upcoming challenge.
