Henrik Stenson has been confirmed as Europe’s captain for the Ryder Cup in 2023.

Stenson succeeds Padraig Harrington, who he assisted during last year’s record-breaking loss in Wisconsin.

Europe have not lost a Ryder Cup on home soil since a 15-13 defeat at The Belfry in 1993.

Zach Johnson was confirmed as the United States’ captain last month, with his predecessor Steve Stricker as vice-captain.
