Furyk Sets Three Priorities to Sharpen Team USA for 2027 Ryder Cup

Jim Furyk, named U.S. Ryder Cup captain for 2027, identified three improvement areas—logistics/travel, foursomes, and analytics—and stressed building a blueprint for continuity and yearly focus. He appointed Justin Leonard and Stewart Cink as vice captains and warned that while analytics can help, it must be applied wisely; foursomes remains a key weakness, and better communication between players and captains is essential.

Rahm’s LIV Exit Casts Shadow as PGA Tour Overhauls Its Future

LIV Golf is set to end Saudi funding by 2026, creating uncertainty for players like Jon Rahm who declined a path to PGA Tour membership and now faces potential Ryder Cup eligibility issues; Bryson DeChambeau says he’ll adapt to a revamped PGA Tour schedule under Brian Rolapp, keeping the door open for a possible return. The backdrop includes Brooks Koepka’s PGA Tour return and Rahm’s strained relations with the DP World Tour, with a potential LIV collapse in 2027 that could push Rahm back to the DP World Tour.

Tiger Woods at a crossroads after DUI arrest: what’s next for the golf icon

Tiger Woods’ latest DUI arrest renews questions about his health and future in golf—whether he has a substance issue tied to painkillers, if the PGA Tour would discipline him, whether he’ll play the Masters, and whether he could still be Ryder Cup captain in 2027, with a possible comeback on the Champions Tour more likely than another major win on the PGA Tour; his legacy will continue to be colored by off‑the‑course events even as he remains a revered figure in the sport.

McIlroy: DP World Tour’s LIV deal is generous, preserves Ryder Cup unity

McIlroy says the DP World Tour’s deal for LIV players is generous and keeps membership and Ryder Cup eligibility intact, even as it complicates Jon Rahm’s 2027 Ryder Cup chances. Eight LIV members accepted the deal; Rahm rejected the four-event minimum, and Luke Donald was named Europe captain for 2027, underscoring McIlroy’s view that the Ryder Cup is bigger than any one player.

Europe Keeps Luke Donald as Ryder Cup Captain; U.S. Captaincy Still in Question

Europe confirms Luke Donald will captain the Ryder Cup for a third straight time, reinforcing their momentum and home-field advantage in Ireland; attention shifts to the U.S., where captaining remains unsettled after Tiger Woods reportedly declined the 2025 offer and Keegan Bradley’s struggles, with Brandt Snedeker viewed as a potential 2027 choice. The Americans face an uphill path in a Ryder Cup era where Europe has controlled momentum and seems poised to extend its success into the 2027 event.

Rahm Rejects DP World Tour Deal, Labels Terms Extortionate

Jon Rahm says he would have signed the DP World Tour’s deal that eight players accepted only if the minimum was four events (not six). He blasted the contract terms as extortionate, arguing they would penalize him for not playing events he wouldn’t attend anyway and could jeopardize his Ryder Cup participation. The eight players who agreed include Tyrrell Hatton and others; Rahm’s fines exceed $2 million, and he may pursue litigation if needed. The dispute comes as Rahm is in Hong Kong ahead of LIV Golf Hong Kong and amid broader tensions between LIV, the DP World Tour, and Ryder Cup eligibility.
