Furyk vows US will ‘do more’ to end Ryder Cup losing streak

Captain Jim Furyk wants to end a woeful run on European soil and claim a first away win since 1993 in the biennial team event.

Furyk vows US will ‘do more’ to end Ryder Cup losing streak

US Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk has pledged to demand more from his players compared to past American teams in an effort to break their losing streak in Europe. The US are set to face off against Europe at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland, with the goal of ending a decade-long absence from winning the biennial event away from home.

This will be Furyk's first opportunity to make up for his team's defeat in Paris in 2018. The 56-year-old believes he has learned valuable lessons from that loss as well as his experiences in team golf through the Presidents Cup. Furyk emphasized that he plans to implement new strategies to foster a stronger team atmosphere and bond.

Foursomes, or alternate shot, has been a particular weakness for the Americans, as they have only won eight of 34 points in the format during the last four Ryder Cups and Presidents Cup matches. Furyk expressed concern about their preparation for these matches and intends to make changes. He has requested that all potential players attend a scouting trip to Adare Manor before the 100th anniversary event in September 2027.

Luke Donald, the Europe captain, aims to become the first captain to secure three consecutive victories.
