U.S. Turns to a Former Captain to Lead 2027 Ryder Cup Team
Furyk, who led the Americans to a 2024 Presidents Cup win, returns after Tiger Woods withdrew from consideration, officials said.
- Jim Furyk will return as Ryder Cup captain for the 2027 matches in Ireland, The Associated Press reported Friday, as the Americans seek to recover against a dominant European team.
- The PGA selected Furyk after Tiger Woods withdrew from consideration following his arrest on suspicion of DUI, with Woods telling the PGA he would "seek treatment and focus on my health."
- Furyk previously captained the Americans in Paris, joining Davis Love III, Tom Watson, and Jack Nicklaus as the only U.S. captains to hold the position twice since 1979.
- The Americans have not secured a road victory since 1993, while Europe has dominated the last three decades, presenting a significant challenge for the team heading to Adare Manor.
- Luke Donald returns as Europe captain for 2027 at Adare Manor, seeking to become the first captain to win three straight times after his team built a record seven-point lead at Bethpage Black last year.
