Jim Furyk has been just the perfect captain for the US Team. He led the team last year at the Presidents Cup when they had already clinched the trophy. After a close call, they managed to bring the trophy back to their country once again this year. Xander Schauffele’s decisive score at the Sunday round singles propelled the American team to an electrifying triumph over the International Team.

They entered the Sunday round with a lead of 11-7 and only needed 4.5 points to win over. Well, it was an easy task indeed. After lifting the trophy, the entire team also became a part of an elaborate celebration. And looks like, finally, Furyk will be performing his final duties as a captain.

Whichever team wins the Presidents Cup trophy has to take home the trophy to their city. Well, usually it is always the captain who gets off the airplane with the trophy in hand, and that is the last responsibility of the captain before he goes back to Jacksonville to live the regular life of a golfing professional. The PGA Tour Champions recently took to their official Instagram account and shared a picture of Furyk coming off the plane with the trophy in hand. They even captioned it, “Bringing the Cup home 🇺🇸 Captain Furyk has arrived in Jacksonville!”

It was needless to say the entire American population was proud of the twelve members of the American team squad along with all the decisions that Furyk had taken. Not to forget the amount of love they received on the post.

The entire golf community congratulates Jim Furyk

The post also featured Jim Furyk’s wife Tabitha Furyk at the airport. In the second video, she was seen leading Jim Furyk as he walked out of the airplane with the Presidents Cup trophy. She looked as excited as the captain himself. They walked through the airport to their car, and Furyk entered with the trophy along with his wife.

Seeing his wife more excited than Jim Furyk was indeed a rather wholesome site to witness. Taking to this, one of them wrote, “Love @tabithafuryk happy face always it takes a team and you two always are !! Congratulations team Usa 🇺🇸”.

While the Presidents Cup is not a world championship, however, the American team is representing their country at the event. Additionally, the international team consists of players from all across the globe, except for Europe, which makes the fight all the more event. Seeing Furyk smile with pure happiness, one of them even commented, “Behaving like they are world champions… don’t you love US sports…”

While another, putting down the perspective of the American skipper, simply wrote, “This is what it looks like from the Top peeps!🇺🇸”.

Last year, Jim Furyk created a record-setting performance. 58 and 59, both shot by Jim Furyk are the lowest recorded scores in PGA history. He was also inducted into the list of the other golfers, who hate other people fighting for him.

One of them, taking to their performance, commented, “Congratulations Captain Furyk…..Very impressed with your class and leadership. We all know your playing record is HOF”.

While the Americans have grabbed their tenth consecutive victory at the 2024 Presidents Cup, the statistics for the Ryder Cup do not favor the team. The Ryder Cup is played between Team USA and the European players. In the last edition, it was the European Team that bagged the victory. Taking to that, one of them commented, “Why do we dominate The President’s Cup, and struggle with The Ryder Cup?”

Do you think that the American Team will be able to take back the trophy from the European Team in 2025? Stay tuned to find out what happens next.
