Annual Banquet honoring

Jim Furyk

Tuesday, March 27, 2018

Presented by:

Jim Furyk

Jim Furyk, 2018 Ryder Cup Captain and 17 time winner on the PGA TOUR, will be honored at the 67th Annual Francis Ouimet Banquet for his lifelong contributions to the game of golf. Jim will join Arnold Palmer, Jack and Barbara Nicklaus and many other distinguished honorees who have received this award at what has grown to be the largest annual golf dinner in America.

Along with the highlight reel career in professional golf, Jim has earned the respect of the entire golf community for his work away from the course. He and his wife Tabitha have created the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation which focuses on helping children and families in need and making communities stronger. For all of his charitable work, his commitment to the traditions of the game, his character and sportsmanship, Jim has also been recognized with the PGA TOUR’s Payne Stewart Award.

Jim Furyk holds a special place in Boston’s golf history for being part of the 1999 US Ryder Cup team that won at The Country Club in Brookline. Jim Furyk defeated Sergio Garcia on the final day to get a key point against the Europeans in what is regarded as the greatest comeback in recent sports history.
