'We’re Not Real Happy': Team USA Captain Still Disappointed in Scottie Scheffler & Co. Despite 2026 Presidents Cup Win

Team USA’s triumphant 17-13 victory in the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club marked one of the most dramatic comebacks in tournament history, yet captain Jim Furyk remains unsatisfied with the team’s recent performance. Despite leading the International side 10.5-7.5 heading into the final day, the Americans rallied to win 9.5 of 12 singles matches, securing their first Presidents Cup win since 2019.

Furyk, who served as an assistant captain during the 2019 Ryder Cup, emphasized the need for significant changes ahead of the 2027 Ryder Cup, including a new points system and analytics team, following back-to-back losses to Europe in 2023 and 2025. While world No.

1 Scottie Scheffler contributed to the win with a key singles victory, his struggles in recent major events—including a 1-4-0 record at the 2025 Ryder Cup and a benching during the Presidents Cup—have intensified scrutiny of Team USA’s depth and consistency. Europe’s dominance in the Ryder Cup, with nine wins in the last 12 editions, underscores the urgency for the Americans to evolve and close the gap in their next clash with the International team.
