Luke Donald's Ryder Cup trip to Adare Manor has 16 spots up for grabs and Irish Open may hold key

European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald will host a familiarisation trip to Adare Manor, the venue for next year's centenary Ryder Cup, involving 16 players. The trip is scheduled to take place the day after the Amgen Irish Open concludes at Doonbeg, which is approximately 60 miles from Adare Manor. The Irish Open is therefore seen as a key event in determining which players will participate in the familiarisation visit.
