Seamus Power has not yet given up on the Ryder Cup, quite the opposite: After a grueling injury break, the Irishman is eyeing an improbable comeback to Team Europe in 2027. After recently securing second place in a playoff at the Bermuda Championship, his PGA Tour Card for the 2027 season is confirmed. This is not just a comeback; it's a statement for the 39-year-old Irishman, who is back in full swing after a truly difficult period.
His ordeal began in early 2023: a nasty combination of hip and lower back problems sidelined him. More than just his swing was affected; Power saw his career hanging by a thread and had to fear for his dream.
Back from the Depths: Power's Comeback
But now things are looking up again. His once weaker driving distance is back, and he himself says he is a better golfer than he was during his peak form in 2022, when he reached world No. 28. A strong ninth-place finish at the 2022 PGA Championship and his recent runner-up finish at the Bermuda Championship are strong indicators that Power is far from being past his prime.
Ryder Cup 2027: More Than Just a Pipe Dream?
And yes, he has his sights set on the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor. Power knows it's a long road – the result in Bermuda is more of a first spark than a blazing fire for a team nomination. But the ambition to tee off for Europe drives him. He wants to give his all as long as he feels he can still achieve this dream. What a story that would be!
