Sergio Garcia is returning to the DP World Tour for the 2027 season and remains open-minded about a place back on the PGA Tour. The 46-year-old Spaniard revealed his future plans in a statement on his social media accounts on Thursday. His departure from LIV Golf was already known after four years playing on the breakaway circuit.
"Next season, I'll be playing on the DP World Tour," Garcia wrote. "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." He said he was putting a big focus on a strong mindset and my mental health, and expressed his ambition to secure a spot on Luke Donald's European Ryder Cup team for the 2027 tournament at Adare Manor.
Garcia is Team Europe's all-time leading Ryder Cup points scorer with 28.5 points across 10 appearances. His statement also referenced an incident at this year's Masters, where he broke his driver on the second hole at Augusta National after an outburst on the tee box. He was later issued a code-of-conduct warning, a first at the tournament. "I left Augusta disappointed with myself and my actions," he said, adding that he would love to chase another green jacket. Garcia won the Green Jacket in 2017.
Garcia, who has 11 career PGA Tour wins, must wait until August 2027 to return due to the US circuit's 12-month suspension on LIV Golfers. LIV is emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a $300 million pledge from BC Partners Credit and without Saudi money. Garcia had already sought and been granted approval to leave LIV. Jon Rahm, Louis Oosthuizen, Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton are among other high-profile players who have announced their exits.
