Jim Furyk Named United States Captain for 2027 Ryder Cup
The PGA of America today announced that Jim Furyk will serve as Captain of the United States Ryder Cup Team for the 46th Ryder Cup, to be played September 13-19, 2027, at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland.
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. The West Chester, Pennsylvania, native becomes the ninth person to captain multiple U.S. Ryder Cup teams after previously leading the Americans in 2018 at Le Golf National in France.
“Jim Furyk has been an influential figure in the United States team room for nearly three decades,” said Nathan Charnes, PGA of America Vice President. “He is a trusted, widely-respected leader and possesses a wealth of Ryder Cup experience that can only serve to strengthen our team.
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.”
The 55-year-old Furyk played in nine consecutive Ryder Cups (1997, ‘99, 2002, ‘04, ‘06, ‘08, ‘10, ‘12 and ‘14). His nine appearances as a player rank second all-time in U.S. Ryder Cup team history, while his 34 career matches are tied for third. He has served as a vice captain on four occasions, including during U.S. victories at Hazeltine National Golf Club in 2016 and at Whistling Straits in 2021.
“The opportunity to captain the U.S. Ryder Cup Team for a second time is a tremendous honor,” said Furyk. “I am deeply grateful to the PGA of America Ryder Cup Committee for entrusting me to lead our team into the 46th Ryder Cup. My passion for the Ryder Cup and dedication to the U.S. Team have never been stronger. Having previously captained the team, I understand the responsibilities and immense pride that come with this role. I look forward to drawing on that experience while incorporating some new ideas as we prepare for 2027. I am committed to putting our players in the best position to succeed as we work to reclaim the Cup on European soil.”
Furyk also competed in seven consecutive Presidents Cups (1998, ‘00, ‘03, ‘05, ‘07, ‘09, ‘11) and captained the U.S. Team to a 18.5-11.5 victory in the 2024 Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club. Additionally, Furyk has registered 29 career professional victories, including the 2003 U.S. Open at Olympia Fields, 17 wins on the PGA TOUR and three victories on PGA TOUR Champions.
