“He is aware of what it takes to perform at the top level and knows how to work well with others. In the months leading up to Marco Simone in September, I will be heavily relying on his experience.”
Furyk established a tour record with a round of 58 at the 2016 Travellers Championship, winning the 2003 US Open, finishing second at the 2013 PGA Championship, and winning the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year and FedEx Cup in 2010.
Furyk declared, “I’ve been associated with the Ryder Cup since 1997, and my passion for this competition is unsurpassed.”
“Captain Zach Johnson shares that passion, and I can’t wait to get to Italy to assist our US team as they strive to defend the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone,” said Johnson.
Furyk was appointed captain of the US squad this week for the Presidents Cup match in Montreal in 2024.
In Whistling Straits in 2021, the United States defeated Europe 19-9 to win the Ryder Cup, ending a 23-year drought on European territory.
