VIRGINIA WATER, England — The Molinari brothers are back in tandem for Europe's defense of the Ryder Cup.
Francesco Molinari was named as an ****** istant to European captain Luke Donald for next year's matches at Adare Manor in Ireland, joining older brother Edoardo in the backroom team.
The Italian siblings have been Donald's ****** istants for Team Europe's wins outside Rome in 2023 and at Bethpage Black in 2025, with Edoardo having a key role in providing important statistical ****** ysis. They also played together for the win in the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.

"I was very pleased when Luke asked me," he said. "I've had two great experiences in Rome and New York, two very different ones, but both of them memorable, and some of the best weeks of my life."
