Ryder Cup prices reach new highs with helicopter provider quoting €27,000 for return journey

Sergio Garcia, a renowned golfer, has announced his departure from LIV Golf to return to the Europe-based DP World Tour in 2027. A major champion in the past, Garcia played a significant role on the European Tour for over two decades, winning numerous titles and contributing to six Ryder Cup victories for Europe. In a statement on social media, Garcia expressed his pride in calling the DP World Tour home and expressed interest in returning to the PGA Tour, while keeping his options open.

The departure of Garcia, along with other top players such as Jon Rahm, Ian Poulter, Tyrrell Hatton, and Graeme McDowell, leaves LIV Golf with only a few players committed to the proposed 2027 competition. Garcia was previously sanctioned by the DP World Tour for breaking their rules upon defecting to LIV, which resulted in his ineligibility for the 2023 Ryder Cup.

However, he has since settled the fines and hopes to be part of the Europe team as a player or vice-captain. Despite the possibility of an awkward reunion with the PGA Tour, Garcia remains determined to make his mark at the Masters and other prestigious tournaments.
