Professional career
In 1992, Furyk turned professional. On the Nike Tour in 1993, he won the Nike Mississippi Gulf Coast Classic. He joined the PGA Tour in 1994 and has won at least one tournament a year between 1998 and 2003. At the time, this was Tiger Woods' second-best season of victories, and he ranked in the top ten in the Official World Golf Rankings. Furyk's best victory to date came on June 15, 2003, when he tied for the lowest 72-hole score in the United States Open to win his first major championship.
After missing three months due to cartilage damage in his wrist, he only participated in fourteen events; he missed six cuts and fell out of the top 100 on the money list; In 2005, he returned to form and regained his top ten ranking, winning a PGA Tour event in that year and two in 2006. He finished second on the money list and won the Vardon Trophy for the first time in 2005. He had 13 top-ten finishes, including nine top-3s, four second-place finishes, and two grand finales.
Furyk's 2010 season was a hysterical one. He won the Transitions Championship, the Verizon Heritage, and the season-ending Tour Championship, after going more than two seasons winless. After winning by a single stroke in the Tour Championship, his win earned him the 2010 FedEx Cup. For the first time, his successes in 2010 earned him both PGA Player of the Year and PGA Tour Player of the Year.
Furyk has come close to winning more titles since 2012. Furyk led after 54 holes and was still the leader in the final round until crashing hooking his drive into the trees on the 16th, which resulted in a bogey and was followed by another on the 18th. He finished in a tie for fourth, two strokes behind Webb Simpson. Furyk led for the first three rounds of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2012 after he held a one-stroke lead going into the final hole, but Keegan Bradley cost him the tournament.
Furyk led by a stroke going into the final day over Jason Dufner, but this time he was unable to close the gap as Dufner claimed by two strokes. Mike "Fluff" Cowan, who was Tiger Woods' caddy for Woods' first two years as a professional, has been Furyk's caddy since 1999.
Furyk shot a 12-under-par 59 in the second round of the BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, Illinois, becoming the sixth player to shoot 59 in a PGA Tour event.
Furyk led the RBC Canadian Open by a three-stroke advantage over his nearest rival Tim Clark in July 2014. Clark, on the 18th green, shot five birds in his last eight holes for the coveted title, though Furyk missed a 12 footer on the 18th green to force a playoff.
Furyk took the lead at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February 2015, but it was a two over round of 74 to finish six strokes behind Brandt Snedeker in the final round. On the final day, Furyk's round was the lowest of any player to finish in the top 50. With a lead/co-lead after 54 holes, Furyk's last victory at The Tour Championship in 2010 is 0-for-9. Furyk stopped the long line after defeating Kevin Kisner with birdie on the second playoff hole at RBC Heritage on April 19, 2015. The victory was his second appearance on the PGA Tour and his 17th on the PGA Tour.
Furyk suffered with a wrist injury in 2015 while competing in the BMW Championship. This was his first recall since 1995, but it was also on the same track he had taken a 59 two years ago. Furyk qualified for the 2015 Presidents Cup but did not play due to the same illness and instead became an assistant captain. J. Donnell referred to this article. B. Holmes was recalled from the team.
Furyk's underwent wrist surgery in the early part of the 2016 season. He was forced to miss the 2016 Masters Tournament and put an end to a string of 47 major championship appearances. Furyk finished second in second place at the 2016 US Open in June 2016, three shots behind Dustin Johnson at one under par. In the final round, he shot a four-under round of 66, advancing to the top of the standings. This was the third time Furyk had been runner-up at the US Open during his career.
Furyk shot a 12-under-par 58 in the final round of the Travelers Championship at TPC at River Highlands, Connecticut, becoming the first player to shoot 58 in a PGA Tour event. Furyk was also ranked in the first PGA Tour pro to card two rounds under 60.
Furyk was named as the United States Ryder Cup captain for 2018 on January 11, 2017. At Le Golf National in France, the United States defeated Europe by 171 points to 1012 points. Furyk was the subject of a scathing attack from Masters champion Patrick Reed following the matches. Reed chastised Furyk's style in making matches and, more specifically, his decision to break up the previously good Reed-Jordan Spieth pair.
Furyk was not fully exempt on the PGA Tour in the 2017-18 season, having only recently qualified, and this was the first time Furyk was truly exempt on the PGA Tour. He started the 2018–19 season out of the 126–150 club.
Furyk finished second in The Players Championship on March 17, 2019, just one stroke behind Rory McIlroy. It was a welcome victory for the 48-year-old Furyk, who barely qualified for the tournament and who had problems with injury and poor play in 2017 and 2018.
