  "account": "Sergio Garcia has announced his departure from LIV Golf to return to the Europe-based DP World Tour in 2027, expressing pride in rejoining his home tour. The 46-year-old Spaniard also mentioned keeping his options open for a potential return to the PGA Tour. Garcia, a former major champion, has won 27 titles across American and European circuits between 1999 and 2020, including the 2017 Masters. After the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV Golf faced bankruptcy due to the loss of its primary investor, Garcia will not participate in the league's second phase. He follows Jon Rahm, Ian Poulter, Tyrrell Hatton, and Graeme McDowell in leaving the new circuit. Garcia's return to the Ryder Cup is possible, but he cannot serve as captain or vice-captain due to tour rules. Despite previous conflicts with the PGA Tour, Garcia hopes to strengthen personal relationships and demonstrate his mental growth before aiming for another Masters green jacket.",
