  "account": "United States captain Jim Furyk has declared his team will be underdogs when they compete for the second consecutive Ryder Cup on European soil in 2027 at Adare Manor. The Americans have not secured a victory outside the United States since 1993, having lost all seven matches on European soil since winning the Belfry tournament in 1993. Furyk, who oversaw a 17½-10½ defeat for the US in France during the 2018 Ryder Cup, was appointed as the team's second captain following a loss to Europe at Bethpage Black in 2025. During a news conference, Furyk acknowledged the historical significance of the event and openly admitted that the US will be underdogs, with no secret that 34 years have passed since their last European triumph.",
  "summary": "The United States Ryder Cup team will be underdogs at the 2027 edition, according to captain Jim Furyk. The team will be attempting to end a 30-year drought without a win on European soil, with the 2027 tournament set to take place at Adare Manor.\n\nFuryk cited the team's recent performances, including consecutive defeats at the hands of European captain Luke Donald, as reasons for their underdog status. Despite having top player Scottie Scheffler on their side, Furyk acknowledged that the Americans will face a tough challenge, particularly given the expected support for the European team from their home fans.\n\nFuryk emphasized that he will be looking for players who can thrive in a difficult atmosphere, with many European fans expected to attend the event. He described himself as a \"process guy\" who will focus on preparing his team and allowing them to showcase their talent.",
