Jim Furyk, a 17-time winner on the PGA Tour, was named on Friday as the U.S. team captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland after Tiger Woods declined the role following his arrest on a driving under the influence charge.
Furyk, who was the losing Ryder Cup captain at Paris in 2018, succeeds Keegan Bradley in the role after the latter found himself in the crosshairs last September at Long Island’s Bethpage Black after a series of questionable lineup decisions.
The 55-year-old Furyk joins Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Davis Love III as the only U.S. Ryder Cup captains to receive a second term in the era of European continental inclusion.
“The opportunity to captain the U.S. Ryder Cup Team for a second time is a tremendous honor,” Furyk said in a PGA of America press release. “I am committed to putting our players in the best position to succeed as we work to reclaim the Cup on European soil.”
‘Incorporating some new ideas’
Furyk also said he will draw on his experience in the biennial competition while “incorporating some new ideas” as he faces the daunting task of trying to win a Ryder Cup on the road, something the U.S. has not done since a 15-13 triumph in 1993 at The Belfry.
At the 2018 Ryder Cup, Furyk became the sixth consecutive American leader to preside over a losing team in Europe.
After the blowout seven-point loss, Furyk faced tough questions about what he could have done differently, including whether it was negligent that half his team arrived at quirky Le Golf National without having stepped foot on the course.
Furyk also served as the winning U.S. captain at the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal where his squad secured a 10th consecutive triumph over a line-up of international players from outside Europe.
Since making his Ryder Cup debut as a player in 1997, Furyk has represented the U.S. in 14 consecutive editions of the Ryder Cup, serving as a player, vice captain and captain.
“He is a trusted, widely-respected leader and possesses a wealth of Ryder Cup experience that can only serve to strengthen our team,” said PGA of America Vice President Nathan Charnes.
“Competing in Ryder Cups hosted in Europe presents unique challenges and we are confident in Jim’s leadership to guide the U.S. Team over the next two years as we prepare for Ireland.”
Woods turned down captaincy to seek treatment
Woods had been the favourite to assume the Ryder Cup captain’s position but the PGA of America announced in early April that he declined to take the role as he stepped away to seek treatment and focus on his health after his arrest on a driving under the influence charge stemming from a rollover crash in Florida.
The 15-time Major champion, regarded as the greatest golfer of his generation, has been a long-time presence in team events, including serving as a player-captain at the 2019 Presidents Cup.
Luke Donald was named European captain for a third consecutive Ryder Cup in March as he aims to become the first captain to guide a team to three straight victories next year.
The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held September 17-19.

#Tiger #Woods #drug #records #subpoenaed #prosecutors">Tiger Woods drug records to be subpoenaed by prosecutors
Prosecutors have requested medical records for all the prescription drugs Tiger Woods was taking when he crashed his car near his Florida home last month.
The subpoena notice came as Woods was formally charged with driving under the influence and refusing to submit to a urine analysis test following the accident on March 27.
Both drivers escaped injury after Woods’s vehicle clipped a truck while attempting to overtake on a residential road, flipping onto its side before sliding to a stop.
Florida prosecutors are seeking prescription drug dispensary records from Woods, including information on the type and amount of pills he was taking.
A court filing on Tuesday also calls on Woods’s lawyers to share any warning “for operating a motor vehicle while taking the prescription” that the golfer received.
The subpoena will be issued on April 22, according to the court filing, which allows Woods’s lawyers 10 days for any objections.
Officers at the scene judged Woods to be impaired, and he was found with two “Norco” pills containing hydrocodone, an opioid painkiller, in his pocket.
Woods told deputies he had taken “a few” prescription medications earlier in the day.
He also informed authorities he had undergone seven back operations and more than 20 surgeries on his right leg, according to the arrest report.
Woods previously suffered severe leg injuries in a 2021 car crash in California.
He has undergone multiple other surgeries over the years, including several on his back and an operation to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Woods, a 15-time major winner, has not competed in a PGA Tour-level event since missing the cut at the 2024 British Open.
He had been mulling a comeback at this weekend’s Masters — the first major of the year.
Instead, following the crash he has stepped away from golf indefinitely and is recovering at an overseas treatment facility, reportedly in Switzerland.
“We fully support Tiger’s recent decision to focus on his health and well-being,” Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said on Wednesday.
“Our commitment to the TGR Foundation and to Tiger personally has not wavered. We wish him the very best.”
