Orlando Daytona Beach Melbourne, FL, October 6, 2026 —

Jim Furyk, the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, has expressed optimism regarding the potential participation of golfer Patrick Reed in the upcoming Ryder Cup in Ireland. Furyk stated that it would be considered “great” if Reed were to be a member of the team.

The comments come as Patrick Reed is reportedly expected to make a return to the PGA Tour next year. While specific details regarding Reed’s PGA Tour return timeline or his current status were not provided, Furyk’s remarks suggest a desire to potentially include the golfer in the U.S. team’s plans for the international competition.

The Ryder Cup is a biennial men’s golf competition contested between teams from Europe and the United States. The next Ryder Cup is scheduled to take place in Ireland. The selection process for the U.S. team typically involves a combination of player qualification and captain’s picks, with the captain having the discretion to select players who may not have automatically qualified but are deemed essential for team performance.

Furyk’s sentiment indicates that Patrick Reed remains a player of interest for the U.S. team leadership, irrespective of his recent playing status. Reed, a former Masters champion, has been a notable figure in past Ryder Cup competitions. His potential inclusion, as voiced by Furyk, points to the captain’s strategic considerations for building a strong and competitive squad for the Ireland event.

Further information regarding Patrick Reed’s PGA Tour schedule for the upcoming year, and how his return might impact his eligibility or selection for the Ryder Cup, was not detailed. The specifics of team selection criteria and player availability closer to the event will likely provide more clarity on Reed’s potential role.
