Justin Rose has expressed support for the emerging talent aiming to secure places in next year’s Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, while affirming his own determination to remain a key contributor to the European team. The 46-year-old former world No. 1 is currently ranked 15th globally and is enjoying a strong season, highlighted by a commanding seven-shot victory at the PGA Tour event in Torrey Pines. He also finished third at The Masters and posted top-12 results at both the U.S. Open and the USPGA Championship.

Rose, a six-time Ryder Cup winner, is poised to make an eighth appearance in the tournament if he continues his current form. He was among 16 players invited by European captain Luke Donald to a scouting trip at Adare Manor in Ireland this week. The group included several promising contenders for next year’s team, such as Alex Fitzpatrick, Eugenio Chacarra, Kristoffer Reitan, and Angel Ayora.

Chacarra, 26, currently ranks third on the Race to Dubai money list, trailing only Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy. Rose highlighted the importance of integrating new talent into the squad, noting that bringing in two or three rookies could inject fresh energy while maintaining a core of experienced players.

“Freshening the team up a little bit would be a good thing,” Rose said. “You want your team to be experienced but having fresh energy is great. I’d imagine two or three new faces—and the best time to bring them in is for a match on home soil. We’ve got some exciting talent coming through. There has been a great transition in Europe. So we can afford another new batch to come in. But I’m not ready to step aside. I’m excited with where I’m at and what I feel I’m still capable of.”

Looking ahead, Rose will compete in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth starting Thursday, seeking to claim a title that has so far eluded him. Raised near the venue in Hampshire, Rose has finished runner-up twice at the event and hopes to go one better this year. “It is an event that is still on my bucket list,” he said. “Everyone knows I was brought up down the road from here in Hampshire and I used to come to Wentworth and watch the likes of Seve and Tiger.”
