United States Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk says his team will enter the 2027 edition of the tournament as "underdogs," according to a BBC Sport report.
The Americans are aiming to end more than 30 years without a win on European soil when the competition is held at Adare Manor in Ireland next year.
A long away drought
The United States has struggled historically to win the Ryder Cup on European turf, a trend stretching back over three decades despite periods of strong form at home. Furyk's comments acknowledge the scale of that challenge heading into the 2027 contest.
Adare Manor, the chosen venue, will host the biennial team competition between the United States and Europe, with both sides expected to field strong rosters as preparations get under way in the coming months.
Furyk did not detail specific strategic changes planned for the event, but his framing of the team as underdogs suggests an effort to manage expectations ahead of a historically difficult away assignment.
