But Furyk believes there is still work to be done to fully restore his country's Ryder Cup reputation.
"I think as a team from the United States we still have something to prove," he told BBC Sport.
"We still have a chip on our shoulder. Right now we do hold the cup, we won it at Hazeltine, but it's been a long time since we've been able to do that here in Europe.
"I think in order to validate what we have been working on we are going to have to win on both sides of the pond."
The United States were so dominant in the recent Presidents Cup they came within a point of beating the Internationals with a day to spare.
It was a frightening display of talent, but Bjorn refuses to be intimidated.
"This morning's world rankings have 10 Europeans in the top 20," the Dane told me.
"I've got to say, European golf might never have looked stronger when it comes to world rankings.
"Yes the Americans are doing well, they did well at Hazeltine and in the Presidents Cup, but you'd expect that. It can't surprise anyone that the American team is going to be strong.
"They are going to be fierce, they are going to play some fantastic golf but I still believe that European golf is in a healthier spot than it probably ever has been.
"I think it's going to be quite close, and when I look at those numbers I get quite excited."
