The latest edition of the Ryder Cup takes place at Bethpage Black in New York from 26-28 September, with Adare Manor in Limerick set to host the 2027 event.
“Jon Rahm asked me earlier this year if I was asked to be a vice-captain at Bethpage Black would I accept it. I replied if they asked me to make coffees for you – I would go and make coffees,” McDowell told BBC Northern Ireland.
“That’s how much it means to me and how much I want to be there in a supporting role for Team Europe.
“It goes without saying as we look towards Adare Manor in two years’ time I would do anything to be in that European team room, to be part of that team, to put that team Europe shirt on one more time, to have the badge on my chest, to cheer the guys on and help Europe win another Ryder Cup. I hope to be there.”
McDowell added: “I feel like I have something to give back.
“I wish Team Europe all the best at Bethpage Black – I will be pulling for them every shot and wish I was there, but the politics is a lot of levels above what I do, it’s definitely the powers that be that will figure this out for us.”
