Sergio Garcia is comfortable missing Ryder Cup for LIV Golf

With under 12 months to go for next year’s Ryder Cup, every LIV golfer is being asked their stand on the situation. Sergio Garcia was at a press conference at Trump National Doral in Miami when he was asked about the event. Addressing that the international event was something he would miss due to his move to LIV, Garcia said that he was fine with it and believed he had made the right decision. The golfer said that he foresaw the situation while making the move to the rebel series and made peace with it. He added: “Obviously I knew some of the things that might happen if I joined here, but at the end of the day, as we’re seeing, you can see that some of the guys on the other side don’t really want me there. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone and even less in a Ryder Cup. I’d rather be away from that as much as it hurts and make sure that Europe has the best chance of winning than me being there and three or four guys that are going to be there are going to be upset or something.” First Team win for First pro win for So proud of this team.

Sergio Garcia’s comments come after PGA Tour and DP World Tour players came out to slam LIV golfers over their defections. Players, including Garcia’s former European teammate , came forward to state that they didn’t want the rebel players on the field at such events. Shane Lowry was another player who came out to state that the LIV golfers’ “Ryder Cup days are over.” However, Garcia, who holds a career record of 25–13–7 at the Ryder Cup, seems comfortable with the sting of not being part of the event. He added: “I think the Ryder Cup is bigger than any of us or me for that matter, even with my record… and I’m happy to be able to be here and enjoying my time with my three partners and trying to build something that is very exciting and that we’re extremely proud of.” It is pertinent to note that Garcia will need to maintain DP World Tour membership and play a minimum of four events this season to be a part of the Ryder Cup team. This seems impossible with the current situation. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
