Sergio Garcia targets Ryder Cup return as he confirms LIV exit
According to BBC Sport, 46-year-old Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia has become the latest high-profile player to quit LIV Golf. Garcia, the 2017 Masters champion, stated he will compete on the DP World Tour in 2027 while keeping options open for a return to the PGA Tour. This move follows the withdrawal of financial backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which led to LIV filing for bankruptcy protection. Having previously been sanctioned for his defection to LIV, Garcia is now settling outstanding fines to regain eligibility. He expressed a strong desire to rejoin the European Ryder Cup team as a player or vice-captain, though current tour rules restrict his ability to serve as a future captain. Garcia also addressed his mental readiness for the upcoming Masters, expressing regret over past outbursts and a desire to compete for another green jacket.
