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

Jim Furyk, the US Ryder Cup captain, announced his intention to demand more from his players to finally end the team's losing streak on European soil. The US team is set to compete at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland, in the upcoming Ryder Cup, aiming to win away from home for the first time since 1993. Furyk, who led the US team to defeat in Paris in 2018, emphasized that he will ask his players to do more than any other US team has done in the past.

He revealed that changes were made immediately upon his appointment as captain and that he is constantly seeking new ways to foster team atmosphere and bond.

Throughout the past decade, Europe has dominated the Ryder Cup, winning nine out of 12 editions. In the foursomes format, which consists of alternate shot play, the Americans have struggled, winning only eight of 34 points in their last four matches against Europe. Furyk acknowledged that the team needs to improve in this format and vowed to make changes to address the issue.

He expressed his expectation for all players to be available for a scouting trip to Adare Manor ahead of the event in September 2027, as he believes this will increase their chances of victory.

Luke Donald, Furyk's rival as European captain, aims to become the first captain to win three Ryder Cups in a row. Donald may adopt a different approach in Ireland, given the opportunity to study the course and assess players' potential. Despite the US team's overall strength, Furyk expressed no complacency, acknowledging that Europe has historically been more successful in Ryder Cups.
