U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk says the American team will enter the 2027 Ryder Cup as “underdogs” when it is played at Adare Manor. He frames the outlook around the challenge of winning on European soil, where the U.S. has not managed a victory for more than 30 years.
Furyk’s comments, reported by both BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports, focus on the gap in recent Ryder Cup results outside the U.S. Both outlets present the captain’s assessment as a realistic appraisal of the task facing the team. The coverage does not dispute the central theme: the U.S. expects a difficult competition given historical performance and the strength of the European side.
While the wording and phrasing differ slightly between the sources, the message is consistent: Furyk expects his team to have to overcome a long-standing record and win away from home in 2027.
