Jim Furyk will be back as the US Ryder Cup captain in Ireland when the biennial event returns in 2027, The Associated Press is reporting.
Furyk is now the fourth Ryder Cup captain to get a second chance at leading the US team dating back to 1979. He previously captained the team in 2018, when the Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson & Co. were dominated by the Europeans, 17.5-10.5.
That week is remembered for Furyk twice benching Patrick Reed, who later criticized the Captain for pairing him with Woods instead of Jordan Spieth. Reed went 0-2 with Woods before winning a singles match.
'For somebody as successful in the Ryder Cup as I am, I don't think it's smart to sit me twice,' Reed told The New York Times in 2018.
The US has dropped six of the last eight Ryder Cups, including the 2025 event at Bethpage Black. The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland.
Woods recently removed himself from consideration for Ryder Cup captaincy following his latest DUI charge. He previously opted out in 2025, but this time he's stepping aside to undergo treatment after rolling his SUV in Jupiter, Florida last month.

The PGA of America, which picks the team captain, issued a statement in support of Woods after he withdrew himself from consideration to undergo treatment following his latest DUI charge.
'[We stand] in full support of Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health and well-being,' read the PGA statement.
We are keeping Tiger in our thoughts and prayers, with sincere hope for his strength, comfort and recovery. Tiger has meant to much to our Association and to the game of golf. Since his Ryder Cup debut in 1997, he has been an enduring part of the PGA of America family.
'His connection to our PGA of America Golf Professionals, and his lasting impact on the sport, have inspired generations and profoundly shaped the game.
'We commend Tiger for prioritizing his long-term health and deeply respect the courage it takes to make such a personal decision. Tiger has shared with us that he will not serve as captain of the 2027 Ryder Cup team and we support his decision. The PGA of America will share further updates regarding the Ryder Cup captaincy when appropriate.'
