The Spanish golfer, known for his impressive 28.5 points in 10 Ryder Cup appearances, has expressed his commitment to improve his game and mental health. Garcia, who was given a code-of-conduct warning at Augusta National last year, is focusing on strengthening his mental game and mindset.\n\nFormer LIV players Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton have also announced their exit from the struggling league, while Jon Rahm has reached a separation agreement with the company. Despite the uncertainty surrounding LIV's future following its bankruptcy filing, Garcia remains optimistic about his future in golf, vowing to work hard and make a significant contribution to any team he joins.",
