Jim Furyk was named to the US Ryder Cup squad on Monday. He will be one of the Vice-Captains at the event, which is taking place in Italy. One of the main reasons for his inclusion is the experience and leadership he has shown on the golf course. The news comes only a few weeks after he was appointed captain of the US Team for the 2024 Presidents Cup.
As vice-captain, he will be joining Steve Stricker, and Davis Love II. Zach Johnson will lead the team to Rome. According to reports, PGA of America announced that they will reveal more vice-captains in the future. Furyk is a seasoned competitor, having participated in nine consecutive editions of this tournament since 1997. He was also captain in 2018 and vice-captain between 2016 and 2021.
“Jim and me have been friends since more than 20 Years. He is an amazing mentor, leader and someone I can trust. “He knows what it takes for him to compete at the top level and to be a good team player,” Johnson said in a WION interview. His 17 wins on the PGA Tour speak for themselves.
When is the Ryder Cup taking place?
The Ryder Cup has become one of the world’s most prestigious and famous golf tournaments. The Ryder Cup is a bi-annual men’s golf competition played by teams from the United States and Europe. The hosts of the event are changed every two years. The tournament is usually held between late September to early October and is organized by Ryder Cup Europe, PGA of America, and Ryder Cup Europe.
The Ryder Cup is scheduled to take place from September 29 to October 1 in Rome, Italy. The event will take place between September 29 and October 1. The event will take place at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, Rome. The US won nine times in 21 previous matches, including the most recent one, while Europe only won 11 of them. There was also a tie in the event. In 1989, both teams finished the event with a tie, and Europe retained its title.
In the last edition, the US won the competition by a score of 19-9 in Whistling Straits. The US has not won on European soil since 1993, when Tom Watson was the captain. Could this be it?
