While Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton are perhaps the two biggest names on LIV Golf Luke Donald will be keeping an eye on ahead of the 2025 Ryder Cup, the door definitely does not appear to have been closed on Sergio García.
Sergio García is the all-time leading points scorer in the Ryder Cup. The Spaniard has missed just two stagings of the event since making his debut at Brookline back in 1999.
The first of those came in 2010 when Garcia’s form fell off dramatically. And of course, he was nowhere to be seen in Rome last year after deciding to join LIV Golf in 2022. Like many of his peers, Garcia decided to resign his DP World Tour membership following his move.
But Garcia had been one of Europe’s only bright points at Whistling Straits in 2021. And his form on LIV this past year has been impressive, with the 44-year-old finishing third in the individual standings – ahead of Tyrrell Hatton.
Sergio García hopes to feature in the Ryder Cup again
Luke Donald has spoken to Garcia about the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. And it seems that the 2017 Masters champion is very open to the possibility of adding to his tally of Ryder Cup points. Speaking to Golf Monthly, he suggested that he is keen to write another chapter.

“I hope so, I definitely hope that. I hope that things get better and I would love to. Obviously I’ve had talks with the European Tour and I still want to support the European Tour,” he said.
“Hopefully, we all come to an agreement and that can be restored and give myself a chance. I feel like my game’s still good enough to play at least two or three Ryder Cups, so if I can keep that level going, hopefully gets sorted and we can get to that point.”
How Garcia has fared in his Ryder Cup career
Garcia may not be at the very peak of his powers, but he has adapted his game and continues to prove incredibly impressive. He is also one of the few players around right now who knows what it takes to win an away Ryder Cup.
Garcia took three points from each of his previous two appearances in the competition. Meanwhile, he won 8.5 points across the 2004 and 2006 victories.
| Ryder Cup | Points won |
| 1999 | 3.5 |
| 2002 | 3 |
| 2004 | 4.5 |
| 2006 | 4 |
| 2008 | 1 |
| 2012 | 2 |
| 2014 | 2.5 |
| 2016 | 2 |
| 2018 | 3 |
| 2021 | 3 |
He may not be Europe’s talisman if he makes the team in 2025, but Garcia may be the ideal captain’s pick ahead of what could be a daunting task in New York.
