PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. Its a compliment to Jim Furyks talent and longevity that his acceptance of the 2018 Ryder Cup captaincy was viewed by some as premature. After all, during an injury-plagued 2016 campaign, he finished second in a major, had three other top-10s and became the first PGA Tour player to shoot 58 in an event.In other words, he might play well enough to make his own team next fall. And there hasnt been a playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.If Im in the form that I was in in 2015 and before, then great, I think we have that conversation, Furyk said Wednesday. But right now, my duty that Ive been given and one that Ive looked forward to for the last 15 or 20 years of my career is to be Ryder Cup captain. I want to be prepared. I want to do the best job I possibly can. As far as the playing aspect, if we get in that situation, I would be more than happy to talk about it. But Im being dead honest when I say, right now, Im focused on being the captain.

In fact, the 46-year-old Furyk said the gig came at the perfect time. Hes always wanted to captain a team before hes 50, when hes still a full-time Tour member, to have that closeness to todays stars.Furyk said hell continue to play the same number of events over the next two seasons (25-30) to stay competitive and involved.I think I can do two things separately, he said. I think I can captain this team to the best of my abilities and I think I can also have a career on the PGA Tour. Now if those two end up colliding in the future, great, but its not my focus right now.
