Sergio Garcia, ex-LIV golfers can heed Rory McIlroy's 3-word truth

Austin, Texas: Sergio Garcia expressed on Wednesday that he has not dismissed the possibility of joining LIV 2.0 in the future, but his primary focus is on securing a spot in the European Ryder Cup team set to compete at Adare Manor, Ireland next year. Garcia successfully obtained a release from his LIV Golf contract as part of the league's bankruptcy proceedings.

The outcome of his future remains uncertain. Currently ranked No. 141 in the Official World Golf Ranking, Garcia is actively participating in his national open in Madrid this week and has expressed his intention to continue playing on the DP World Tour. The 46-year-old golfer also hinted at the potential return to the PGA Tour and competing on the Champions Tour in the future.

Garcia emphasized that all options are on the table, though he clarified that it does not mean he will necessarily leave LIV or stay with it. He stated that settling the LIV 1.0 matter now is crucial to avoid any repercussions related to that contract. Garcia remains optimistic about trying to secure a spot on the Ryder Cup team, while also acknowledging the possibility of serving in any capacity if he fails to qualify.

He expressed his deep love for the Ryder Cup and the prospect of contributing in any way, such as being a vice-captain, if he does not make the team. Garcia previously signed with LIV in 2022 and later rejoined the league after his initial stint ended. He has not been among the top performers in LIV Golf this year, finishing 52nd at the Masters in his only start in a 2026 major.

Garcia is now considering his options for 2027 and beyond, including a potential return to the Champions Tour, especially as he turns 47 in January.
