By way of example, in May 2023 when a sports arbitration panel ratified the sanctions imposed on him and other tour pros who joined LIV Golf without releases, the DP World Tour revealed Garcia was the only one of 17 players initially sanctioned not to have paid his £100,000 fine, “nor has he given any indication that he intends to.”

After paying his fines and planning to serve his suspension, Sergio Garcia may once again play in the Ryder Cup.

The 44-year-old Spaniard has reapplied for his membership on the DP World Tour, bunkered reported Monday. To be on the European Ryder Cup team, players must have status on the DP World Tour, which Garcia hasn’t had since last May when he resigned.

LIV Golf’s Sergio Garcia is set to return to the DP World Tour next year, opening up the possibility of him making a record-equaling 11th appearance at the Ryder Cup.

Spaniard’s decision to be fined and suspended to be eligible for the Ryder Cup probably means he misses ‘the events that matter’, says Rose.
