  "account": "Sergio Garcia is aiming for his 11th appearance at the Ryder Cup in Ireland next year after announcing his departure from the struggling LIV Golf circuit, according to his recent social media post. The circuit, which is attempting to relaunch after filing for bankruptcy protection, has seen several players, including Garcia, declare their intention to return to the established US PGA and European circuits. Garcia, who holds the record for the most Ryder Cup points (28.5) in history, emphasized his focus on improving his mental health and game during the off-season. He expressed his pride in returning to the DP World Tour, which has been instrumental in his career, and hinted at a potential return to the PGA Tour. Garcia also confirmed his desire to secure a spot in the Ryder Cup team, highlighting the importance of earning his place in the event. He acknowledged the challenges he faced at Augusta National last year, where he received a code-of-conduct warning for breaking his driver during a round. Despite this setback, Garcia remains determined to learn from his experiences and contribute positively to future team efforts. The future of LIV Golf remains uncertain following its bankruptcy filing, with financial support from the Saudi-led Public Investment Fund now in question.",
