Furyk was a vice captain under Davis Love III at Hazeltine last fall during the U.S.'s 17-11 victory. It was Team USA's first win in the biennial event since 2008. He has also represented the U.S. nine times as a player in the event, narrowly missing out on a 10th consecutive appearance last fall. Furyk seemed poised to make the squad after finishing runner-up at the U.S. Open and becoming the first player to shoot 58 in a PGA Tour event, but a late-season swoon kept the 46-year-old from being one of Love's captain's picks.
