Jim Furyk to return as US Ryder Cup captain for 2027, AP sources say

AP News — Apr 24, 12:27 PM

The AP has learned Jim Furyk is the next U.S. Ryder Cup captain.

Furyk will be the fourth American captain to get another chance dating to 1979 when Europe joined the competition.

AP sources say Furyk was the choice after Tiger Woods took his name out of the mix following his March 27 arrest on suspicion of DUI in Florida.

Europe has been dominating the matches for three decades.

That includes last year at Bethpage Black when it built a record lead and held on for the win.

Furyk was captain in a losing effort in France in 2018.
