PGA of America President Don Rea Jr. has been removed from the PGA Tour's board and reassigned to member-focused duties following controversy at the 2025 Ryder Cup. The move, described as unprecedented for a sitting president, comes amid scrutiny over his handling of unruly fan behavior during the event at Bethpage Black.

The PGA of America has appointed Jim Furyk to captain the United States Ryder Cup team for the 2027 event at Adare Manor in Ireland. Furyk, returning after a 2018 loss, cited his faith in the current players as the main reason. He will be supported by vice captains Stewart Cink and Justin Leonard.
