The excitement is building as we edge closer to the 2025 Ryder Cup showdown in New York.
Team USA has a lot on its plate with Keegan Bradley’s impressive form, while Team Europe might have some LIV golfers back if an agreement is reached soon.
Right now, there’s a cloud of uncertainty hanging over who will tee off at Bethpage Black this September.
Sergio Garcia stands out as a potential player for the European team, but he’s facing challenges since he’s not part of the DP World Tour right now. He recently shared in an interview that he’s been chatting with the European Tour about making a comeback and believes he can still surpass Phil Mickelson’s Ryder Cup record.
Garcia’s Ambitions:
With ten Ryder Cup appearances under his belt, Garcia needs three more to make history. “I’ve had talks with the European Tour and I still want to support them,” he said. “I feel like my game’s still good enough for two or three more Ryder Cups.” Fans might wonder if he’ll get another shot at glory.
Opinions are mixed on whether Garcia will join Team Europe in 2025. Some think his past disputes with the DP World Tour could be a stumbling block. Others believe rules shouldn’t bend for anyone, even big names like Garcia or Jon Rahm.
Despite his recent performance dip, some argue that Europe has stronger options for Bethpage Black. Yet, others see him as a natural choice if tensions ease and relationships mend because of his knack for shining during the Ryder Cup.
Garcia’s recent form shows promise—finishing third in LIV Golf after securing a win and two runner-up spots—but his standing outside the top-400 in OWGR raises eyebrows. However, Data Golf ranks him 22nd and The Universal Golf Ranking places him 20th among Europeans.
His partnership with Jon Rahm was electric at Whistling Straits in 2021, and he shares a strong bond with captain Luke Donald from their previous Ryder Cup outings together.
What do you think? Should Sergio be part of Team Europe again?
