Sergio Garcia announced Thursday his plans to return to the DP World Tour in 2027, ending his stint with LIV Golf that began in June 2022.
The 46-year-old Masters champion stated he does not see a future with LIV Golf 2.0 and hopes to eventually return to the PGA Tour, where he last played in May 2022.
In a released statement, Garcia said: "Next season I'll be playing on the DP World Tour. This tour has been a huge part of my career from the very beginning, and I'm proud to call it home again. I'm also keeping my options open for a return to the PGA Tour. And probably the most exciting part for me is strengthening personal relationships, both new and old."
Garcia also expressed his desire to compete at the Masters next April and to earn a spot on the European Ryder Cup team for the 2027 matches in Ireland. He has discussed a potential role with European captain Luke Donald, but current DP World Tour rules bar players who resigned membership from serving as captain or vice-captain.
Garcia resigned his DP World Tour membership in May 2023 alongside Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood, meaning he must qualify for the team through play. The DP World Tour has also ruled that players participating in LIV Golf 2.0 cannot hold membership, effectively excluding them from Ryder Cup eligibility.
Garcia remains the all-time leading points scorer in Ryder Cup history with 28.5 points across 10 appearances, his last in 2021 at Whistling Straits.
