Furyk Returns as U.S. Ryder Cup Captain

0:00It's April 24th, from your city to your ears. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. Jim Furik is coming back as captain for the US Ryder Cup team in 2027 at Ireland. The Americans want to snap Europe's long-winning streak that's lasted most of the last three decades. Insiders say the Ryder Cup committee picked him to lead the charge. This comes after Tiger Woods pulled out of the running back in March following his 27th DUI arrest. Furik becomes just the 4th US skipper since 1979 to get a second shot in the modern era of the event. Back in 2018, Furik captained the team in Paris, but they got hit hard by Europe. His four captains picks win two wins, 10 losses, no ties, which hurt big time. Europe kept rolling last year at Beth Page Black, building a 7-point lead early and hanging on for the win under Loop Donald. Now Donald's returning for his third go in Ireland, the US is banking on Furik's experience to flip the script and bring home that trophy after years of tough losses.
