In the long and often humbling history of the Ryder Cup, the United States finds itself once again searching for the right steward to carry its banner onto foreign soil. Scottie Scheffler, the world's finest golfer, has offered his public trust to Jim Furyk as captain for the 2027 contest in Ireland — a gesture that carries real weight, even as the shadow of Furyk's 2018 defeat lingers over the appointment. It is a moment that asks whether experience, reexamined and refined, can redeem what failure once left unresolved.
