Sergio Garcia returns to European tour after LIV Golf exit

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 16:01 · Archive

Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia is returning to the DP World Tour for the 2027 season after leaving LIV Golf.

Sergio Garcia has announced he will return to the DP World Tour for the 2027 season, leaving the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit. The 46-year-old made the announcement via social media, stating that the tour "has been a huge part of my career from the very beginning, and I'm proud to call it home again". He also indicated he is keeping his options open for a return to the PGA Tour.

Garcia expressed his most significant ambition as securing a place on Europe's Ryder Cup team for the event at Adare Manor in Ireland next September. He has represented Europe in the Ryder Cup ten times previously, though not since 2021, and holds the record as Europe's all-time leading scorer with 28-and-a-half points. The golfer also referenced his focus on mental health and strengthening personal relationships.

In his statement, Garcia addressed an incident at this year's Masters Tournament, where he broke his driver on the second hole at Augusta National following an outburst on the tee box and received a code-of-conduct warning. He won the Masters in 2017 and expressed his intention to return to the tournament having learned from the experience.
