Overview

  • Sergio Garcia, Europe’s all-time leading Ryder Cup points scorer, has publicly stated he would decline a Ryder Cup captain’s pick due to his current performance struggles.
  • Garcia’s form has dipped in recent months, with missed cuts at the Masters and poor finishes at the PGA Championship and LIV events since April.
  • The 45-year-old Spaniard must rely on a captain’s pick to join the European Ryder Cup team, as he has virtually no chance of qualifying through points rankings.
  • After rejoining the DP World Tour in 2024 and paying over €1 million in fines for joining LIV Golf, Garcia remains under suspension but is eligible for selection later this year.
  • With two to three months left before final Ryder Cup selections, Garcia aims to regain confidence and return to the level of play he showed earlier in the LIV Golf season.
