“I would tell him no”: LIV Golfer Sergio Garcia makes remarkable admission about his form ahead of the Ryder Cup

Sergio Garcia is competing at the PGA Championship this week. In the ongoing final round, he is currently placed T67 with an overall score of 7-over par.

The Spaniard has represented Team Europe in 10 Ryder Cup editions in his career, winning the biennial event six times. However, with the 2025 Ryder Cup fast approaching, he doesn't feel ready for the prestigious tournament.

Garcia had a consistent run in the early events of the LIV Golf season, having won the Hong Kong event and finishing third in Miami. However, he wasn't able to make the cut at The Masters last month. His performances have been on the decline ever since. He finished 50th and T42 at the Mexico City and Korea events respectively post his Augusta National debacle.

The 45-year-old made an honest admission about his current form and what he would tell European captain Luke Donald. He said (via Golf.com):

"Obviously the way I'm playing, even if Luke offered me a pick right now. I would tell him no."

"Obviously, I need to get better. I need to get more where I was just before the Masters. You know, just show myself and show everyone that my game is solid, and it can help Team Europe. It’s as simple as that," he further added.

However, Garcia still has time to get back to his pre-Masters form and he remained optimistic about it.

"There’s still two or three months until the team is finalized. I’ll have time to gain some confidence and improve a little bit on my game."
