Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley are named as Europe's vice-captains for the Ryder Cup by captain Jose Maria Olazabal

European captain Jose Maria Olazabal has named Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjorn and Paul McGinley as his vice-captains for the upcoming Ryder Cup competition.

Olazabal has selected the trio, who have competed in 10 Ryder Cups between them, and will name his two wildcard picks on August 27.

"I could not be more delighted than to have Thomas, Darren and Paul as vice-captains especially as we bonded so well supporting Colin Montgomerie in 2010," said Olazabal.

"All three are world-class golfers with tremendous experience of playing in the Ryder Cup which is absolutely invaluable.

"For me to have these guys, all such great friends, by my side is fantastic. I know like me they will now be counting down the days to to Medinah with one aim – to return home with the Cup."

Europe will go up against the United States at Medinah Country Club in Chicago from September 28.
