Jim Furyk will return as captain of the US Ryder Cup team in 2027 when the event takes place in Ireland.
Tiger Woods turned down the role earlier this month after he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and rolling his car in Florida.
Furyk, 55, previously captained the side in Paris in 2018 when Europe sealed a dominant 17½-10½ victory.
He will become just the fourth US captain in the modern era of the competition, which began in 1979, to lead the team twice.
"The opportunity to captain the US Ryder Cup team for a second time is a tremendous honour," Furyk said.
"I am committed to putting our players in the best position to succeed as we work to reclaim the cup on European soil."
Next year's Ryder Cup takes place at Adare Manor in County Limerick from 17-19 September.
American Furyk faced criticism after his team lost in 2018, with his four captain's picks winning just two points from 12 outings at Le Golf National.
Furyk has played in the Ryder Cup on nine occasions, winning in 1999 and 2008.
