Jim Furyk was named United States captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup on Friday by the PGA of America, tasking him with obtaining the first US triumph in Europe since 1993.

Furyk was selected after 15-time major winner Tiger Woods withdrew from consideration for the job following his March 27 arrest on suspicion of DUI charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Woods has stepped away from golf and travelled to Europe for treatment.

That sets the stage for Furyk to take charge of the Americans for the 46th Ryder Cup to be played on September 17-19, 2027, at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland.

It’s the second time Furyk has been captain, after taking charge of the US squad that lost to Europe in 2018 at Le Golf National in France.

“The opportunity to captain the US Ryder Cup team for a second time is a tremendous honour,” Furyk said. “I am committed to putting our players in the best position to succeed as we work to reclaim the Cup on European soil.”

Since making his Ryder Cup debut in 1997, Furyk has represented the Americans in 14 consecutive editions of the event, serving as a player, vice-captain and captain.
