The idea behind the Ryder Cup task force that was formed after the 2014 matches was to build some continuity among the U.S. teams. He had been an assistant four times in the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. The key is to see whom Furyk, the 2018 Ryder Cup captain and now the Presidents Cup captain for 2024 in Montreal, selects as his assistants for next year. Former PGA champion David Toms was overlooked as a Ryder Cup captain, just like another PGA champion, Larry Nelson, was before him. DIVOTSRickie Fowler is one of four Americans to have been on a losing Ryder Cup team in Europe at least four times.

The Americans now have gone 30 years without winning the Ryder Cup away from home, a losing streak the entire team knows all too well. “The obvious bullet points don't need to be mentioned, and that's one of them.”The context of this losing streak can be presented in so many ways. Phil Mickelson was there for all six losses during the losing streak. "It's like chalk and cheese the way a U.S. Ryder Cup golf course is set up compared with a European course. “Europe obviously has an amazing identity with the Ryder Cup,” Fleetwood said.
