AUSTIN, Texas – Jim Furyk called his 26th year on the PGA Tour a “season of opportunity.”
After beginning the 2018-19 season with limited status and ranked 222nd in the world following a series of injuries and his two-year stint as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, his fortunes turned around quickly in 2019.
The 48-year-old finished tied for sixth place at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in the fall and he added another top-20 showing at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He then tied for ninth at the Honda Classic to earn a spot in The Players, for which he previously wasn’t qualified.
