(Reuters) - Darren Clarke describes J.P. McManus as the "Irish Bill Gates" and is confident the billionaire's crown jewel property Adare Manor will prove an ideal venue to host the 2026 Ryder Cup.

Northern Irishman Clarke, who captained the 2016 European Ryder Cup team, is delighted the biennial team competition against the United States will return to the Emerald Isle for the first time since 2006.
