Fans have reacted to Sergio Garcia's return to the DP World Tour after he confirmed his participation in the BMW International Open in Munich in July 2025. He will also compete at the Open de España in Madrid in October.
Garcia's return has been made possible after he paid over £1 million in fines imposed by the DP World Tour for competing on LIV Golf. The 45-year-old has also reapplied for membership to the tour and is aiming to regain eligibility for the 2025 Ryder Cup.
For the unversed, to compete in the Ryder Cup, a player has to be a member of the DP World Tour and has to compete in a minimum of four events. Popular golf account NUCLRGOLF shared the news of Garcia's return to the DP World Tour on X and wrote:
"After having paid outstanding fines, Sergio Garcia is making his return to the DP World Tour for the first time since withdrawing from the BMW PGA in September 2022."
Fans took to the comments section and suggested that Garcia is preparing to leave LIV Golf to pursue a Ryder Cup spot, possibly for the last time.
"He's def about to leave LIV," a fan commented.
"Almost like he knows LIV is on the way out. Good for him trying to make the Ryder cup team, at 45 years old it may be close to the last time he can earn his way on," another fan wrote.
"Did he pay those fines or are you assuming he did?" a fan asked.
A few fans acknowledged his efforts but remain skeptical about his chances of making the European team.
"Good deal… Sergio going to get his ranking points quickly," a fan wrote.
"Putting in the extra work to get noticed for the Ryder Cup. I respect that," another fan commented.
"Hot Prediction: he doesn't make the European team," a fan wrote.
Sergio Garcia will next compete in the LIV Golf Virginia from Friday, June 6, to Sunday, June 8, at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in the United States.
