In two weeks, Jim Furyk will try to help the American team do something it hasn’t accomplished in 30 years: win the Ryder Cup on European soil. A year from now, he’ll attempt to keep a 26-year U.S. record streak intact by winning the Presidents Cup in Montreal.
Those are no easy tasks for Furyk, who made his first Ryder Cup appearance in 1997 and played in the Presidents Cup for the first time a year later. He’ll serve as a captain’s assistant to Zach Johnson when the Americans take on the Europeans in Rome starting Sept. 25, and then take over as captain for next September’s event against the International Team.
Furyk will have four vice-captains to assist him next year but that’s really just a small change to what has become a massive undertaking. The International’s experts were staking out Royal Montreal’s Blue Course last week, getting detailed info on every hole. That research will continue throughout the event, round by round, even if a veteran such as Furyk isn’t diving in headfirst.
“You’re going to have a lot of carry-over from year to year,” said Furyk. “You could have anywhere from five to 10 carry over to the next team.” “Not only am I there to support Zach and support the Ryder Cup team,” he said, “but it’s a feather in the cap for me to be a part of it, to see what Zach is doing, to see how it’s run. We want a lot of symmetry from year to year, so the guys who do make the team every year know what to expect.”
