Jim Furyk has been selected to lead the U.S. team as captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup, which will take place in Ireland. This decision follows Tiger Woods' withdrawal from consideration after his arrest on suspicion of DUI. Furyk, who previously captained the U.S. team in 2018 where they suffered a heavy defeat, will be looking to change the team's fortunes against a European squad that has dominated the event, winning 11 of the last 15 matches since 1995. The PGA of America has yet to formally announce the selection, but sources indicate Furyk's appointment is confirmed. He faces the challenge of securing a victory on European soil, a feat the U.S. has not achieved since 1993. The last Ryder Cup saw Europe triumph under captain Luke Donald, who will also return for the 2027 matches.
