Sergio Garcia is set to lose his DP World Tour membership just one year after he returned to the tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spaniard made a surprise comeback<\/a> in 2024 in a bid to make Luke Donald’s Ryder Cup<\/a> team.<\/p>\n

However, Garcia has only played in two DP World Tour<\/a> events so far this year.<\/p>\n

He is not expected to appear at any of the remaining tournaments on the calendar.<\/p>\n

As a result, his playing status will expire having not played in the required four events in a season.<\/p>\n

It will also remove any hopes the 45-year-old has of representing Team Europe at the 2027 Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

In order to qualify for the team, players must be a DP World Tour member.<\/p>\n

Garcia re-joined the tour last year having left to sign with LIV Golf in 2022.<\/p>\n

Due to his defection to the Saudi-backed league, he was forced to pay fines upon his return to the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n

It is understood these financial penalties totalled more than $1million (\u00a3750,000).<\/p>\n

Garcia claimed two wins on LIV and finished third in their 2024 individual points list.<\/p>\n

However, he was unable to carry that success into 2025 across his two DP World Tour events.<\/p>\n

The former Masters champion made his return to the tour in July at the BMW International Open.<\/p>\n

Garcia missed the cut in Germany, though, ending the opening two rounds on three-over par.<\/p>\n

His second and final DP World Tour appearance of the year came at last weekend’s Open de Espana.<\/p>\n

Although he made the cut, Garcia finished tied-39th, 12 shots adrift of winner Marco Penge.<\/p>\n

He had been expected to appear at last month’s Irish Open before withdrawing from the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garcia pulled out after he was not included as a captain’s pick by Donald for the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he now finds himself ineligible to be on Team Europe at Adare Manor in 2027.<\/p>\n

It would represent the third consecutive Ryder Cup in which Garcia has not featured, having previously appeared on 10 occasions in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sergio Garcia is set to lose his DP World Tour membership just one year after he returned to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":305100,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[43653,1430,8656,23535,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-305099","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-dp-world-tour","9":"tag-golf","10":"tag-ryder-cup","11":"tag-sergio-garcia","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115377698718688315","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305099\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
