Furyk's Ryder Cup plan: 'I'm going to ask this team to do more than any U.S. team has'

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk is overhauling his squad's approach to the alternate-shot format after the Americans dropped 26 of 34 foursomes matches in recent international competitions.

Acknowledging the team's poor performance, Furyk intends to implement a more rigorous preparation strategy that moves beyond standard practice rounds. He plans to organize a team trip to the competition site next July, allowing potential roster members to gain familiarity with the course and practice the format well before the event begins.

This initiative aims to shift the team culture toward proactive readiness rather than last-minute adjustments. While Furyk recognizes the scheduling challenges facing professional golfers, he is committed to ensuring his players are better equipped to handle the specific demands of foursomes play.

By prioritizing early access and dedicated training, the captain hopes to leverage the depth of his roster to reverse the recent trend of international losses.
