MONTREAL – Jim Furyk has been named the captain of the American team at the upcoming Presidents Cup.
The international men’s golf tournament will be held at Royal Montreal Golf Club in September 2024.
Furyk, who will make his debut as captain of the U.S. Team, has appeared in seven Presidents Cups.
Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., has already been named the captain of the International team, the first Canadian to hold the role.
The tournament sees a team from the United States play against the top-ranked players from the world, excluding Europe.
An International team featuring Canadians Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith lost to the U.S. 17 1/2-12 1/2 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., last September.
