Team USA’s Ryder Cup struggles are not random. They’re repeatable. And more importantly, they’re fixable. With Jim Furyk stepping in as captain, the conversation shifts from frustration to opportunity. The U.S. hasn’t lacked talent in the Ryder Cup — it’s lacked the right approach, particularly in alternate shot, where the numbers have been historically poor. In this segment, Trey Wingo and Justin Ray break down the data behind those struggles and, more importantly, how it can be used to build a better system. From course-fit strategy to player pairing logic, this is about flipping the process — starting with the demands of the course and working backward. This isn’t theory. It’s already worked elsewhere. The question now is whether Team USA is ready to fully commit to it. If they do, this is where the turnaround starts. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
