Jim Furyk is keeping close tabs on the PGA Tour right now given his upcoming roles in the golfing world.<\/p>\n

Furyk has been appointed as the Team USA captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup, which takes place in Ireland next September.<\/p>\n

Before that, however, the American veteran will serve as an assistant captain for Brandt Snedeker at the 2026 Presidents Cup.<\/p>\n

And Furyk<\/a> has now shared his excitement about the current state of the PGA Tour<\/a> as that tournament approaches.<\/p>\n

Jim Furyk loves what is happening on the PGA Tour right now<\/p>\n

Speaking on Dan on Golf<\/a>, 17-time PGA Tour winner Furyk said: \u201cIt\u2019s not only [Jackson] Koivun, but down the list.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Chris] Gotterup, I think he is seventh on the points right now, [Akshay] Bhatia, [Jacob] Bridgeman, [Ryan] Gerard, [Alex] Smalley, Jake Knapp is injured right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then you had the three wins from guys under 25. I heard a stat saying that the last time three Americans won three weeks in a row under the age of 25 was 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose guys were Jordan Spieth, Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau, so three pretty good ones! I think Grayson Murray was also in there, so four guys.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love it. I love the fact that we have got these young guys coming out. They are so prepared right out of college.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are going to put some stress on our wily veterans and I think it does interject a huge level of excitement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving that wide-eyed, bushy-tailed but ready to go \u2013 like Scottie Scheffler at Whistling Straits. I kind of love that look.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a young team there, when you look back, I think we might have had five or six rookies on that team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was one of the criticisms of that team going on but they came out not scared at all and played some golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a good mix of that youth and fire and also some wily veterans that put their arms around them and show them the ropes a little bit, possibly make some great pairings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who will be the world number one in 2030? <\/p>\n

Will Scottie’s dominance continue?<\/p>\n

\"\" Young Americans impress on PGA Tour as Presidents Cup approaches<\/p>\n

It has indeed been quite the spell for young American golfers, who have claimed the last three PGA Tour titles.<\/p>\n

All under the age of 25, Koivun won the 3M Open, Michael Thorbjornsen won the Rocket Classic, and Michael Brennan won the Wyndham Championship.<\/p>\n

Particularly impressing, 21-year-old Koivun qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs<\/a> after just five starts, matching the great Tiger Woods. <\/p>\n

However, the battle continues for spots on the US Team for the Presidents Cup, where six qualifiers join six captain\u2019s picks.<\/p>\n

The six automatic qualifiers will be determined following the BMW Championship, the second of three Playoff events.<\/p>\n

Who are you taking at TPC Southwind? <\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

It arrives in between this week\u2019s FedEx St. Jude Championship and the TOUR Championship later this month.<\/p>\n

Former US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley will also serve as a captain\u2019s assistant at the Presidents Cup, which takes place at Medinah Country Club next month.<\/p>\n
