LIV Golf’s Sergio Garcia continues to eye 2025 Ryder Cup, wants to play “2 or 3” more

Although he resigned his DP World Tour membership, meaning he is currently not Ryder Cup eligible, LIV Golf's Sergio Garcia remains confident that he can play for Europe at Bethpage Black next year and beyond.

Not only has he had discussions with the DP World Tour and Captain Luke Donald , but he also believes his game is still in top-tier form. Garcia revealed this in an exclusive interview with Golf Monthly .

"I've had talks with the European Tour, and I still want to support the European Tour, so hopefully, we all come to an agreement, and that can be restored," Garcia said.

"I feel like my game's still good enough to play at least two or three Ryder Cups, so if I can keep that level going, hopefully everything gets sorted and we can get to that point."

Of course, Garcia is the winningest Ryder Cupper of all time. He has won 28 points over his 10 appearances for Team Europe, helping the blue and gold emerge victorious on six occasions. He last played in 2021 at Whistling Straits, where the Americans dominated, winning 19-to-9. Yet Garcia played well, winning three points and posting a 3-1-0 record. Only Jon Rahm won more points for Europe than Garcia did that week.

But he did not play in Rome in 2023, thanks to his affiliation with LIV Golf.

"Well, first of all, obviously, he resigned his membership a couple of years ago. But we have had some chats. He's considering rejoining," Donald said last month in New York.

"He'd have to follow all the rules and regulations like everyone else, and if he does that, again, he will be eligible to partake in the Ryder Cup."

As for how Garcia can regain his eligibility, Donald noted that it all comes down to the 2017 Masters champion and whether he feels motivated to make amends.

"We chatted on the phone a couple of weeks ago," Donald said on Oct. 8 in New York.

"You know, he's certainly very interested in doing that. He understands everything involved, and again, the decision has to go to him, whether he's prepared to do all that. But certainly, we've had that discussion, yes."

Garcia, who turns 45 in January, won his first LIV Golf event in his native Spain in July. He defeated Anirban Lahiri in a playoff—his third appearance in a LIV Golf playoff this season.

Perhaps more impressively, Garcia turned in a strong performance at Pinehurst No. 2, posting rounds of 69-71-71-70 to finish at 1-over overall, seven strokes back of winner Bryson DeChambeau .

"I played very well at the US Open without too much stuff really going my way — I finished 12th — so I felt like I had a little bit of an outside chance there," Garcia added to Golf Monthly.

"The way I've been playing gives me the feeling that I'm not done in that aspect. I will give myself chances, and then it comes down to little things here and there, but I still feel like I can give myself chances."
