""Absolutely, I would love to be a captain one day and I feel very fortunate that I've had a front-row seat playing under some of the best captains in history in the Ryder Cup,""
""But," he added, "I'd say not until the mid-2030s, hopefully, if I can keep playing well.""
""Just over the last two weeks, being able to watch the highlights and just see, especially those first two days, in the foursomes and the fourballs how good (the) European team were," McIlroy said. "The Americans would hit it close; we hit it closer. The Americans hole a putt and we hole a putt on top it and it happened every single time.""
Rory McIlroy is playing his first tournament in India after helping Europe retain the Ryder Cup in New York last month. The 36-year-old Northern Irishman has appeared in the last eight Ryder Cups and remains world No. 2 and the reigning Masters champion. McIlroy intends to pursue the European Ryder Cup captaincy in the mid-2030s while continuing to play, with the 2027 matches in Ireland likely on his calendar. Spectator abuse at Bethpage Black created a febrile atmosphere, but Europe excelled in foursomes and fourballs and became the first away winners since 2012. McIlroy wants attention focused on Europe's performance and feels proud to have been part of that team.
