Jim Furyk is set to return as U.S. Ryder Cup captain for the 2027 matches at Adare Manor in Ireland, according to multiple reports citing Associated Press sources.
The PGA of America has not yet made an official announcement, stating Friday that it “look[s] forward to sharing details regarding our 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup captain announcement soon.”
However, sources indicate the Ryder Cup committee selected Furyk after Tiger Woods removed himself from consideration following his March arrest on suspicion of DUI.
Furyk, 55, previously captained the U.S. team in 2018 at Le Golf National in Paris, where Europe cruised to a 17½-10½ victory — one of the more lopsided defeats in recent U.S. history. His four captain’s picks that year (Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Tony Finau) combined for a dismal 2-10-0 record.
Despite the 2018 disappointment, Furyk has remained a steady presence in U.S. team events. He served as a vice captain under Keegan Bradley for the 2025 loss at Bethpage Black and led the Americans to a Presidents Cup victory in 2024.
A 17-time PGA Tour winner and 2003 U.S. Open champion, Furyk played in nine straight Ryder Cups as a player (1997-2014), compiling a 10-20-4 record. He would become just the fourth U.S. captain since 1979 to get a second shot at the job, joining Davis Love III, Tom Watson, and Jack Nicklaus.
The task ahead is steep: The U.S. has not won a Ryder Cup on European soil since 1993 and has dropped seven straight road matches. Europe, led again by captain Luke Donald, will aim for a third straight victory.
Furyk declined comment on the reports. An official announcement from the PGA of America is expected in the coming days.
