Sergio García is going to “postpone” his departure from the European Tour for the time being

MADRID, 26 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish golfer Sergio García plans to “postpone” for the moment his possible departure from the DP World Tour, the European Circuit, a change in his position announced after the British Open, and in order not to close the doors to play the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.

“I am quite clear about what I am going to do with the European Tour. Probably leave it. Honestly I want to play where they want me, on the European Tour I don’t feel loved right now,” Garcia said in a mixed zone at the end of the ‘British’ on 17 of July.

The decision came after the player from Castellón was one of the players who has signed up for the new LIV Golf Invitational Series, a circuit with succulent economic prizes and that has caused a schism in the world of golf. In fact, the European Tour and the American PGA have sanctioned those who have chosen to play this new competition.

However, it seems that Garcia has changed his mind. “When I finished the Open I said I’d probably give up my DP World Tour membership and that obviously meant I wouldn’t be eligible for the Ryder, but thanks to the things that Jon Rahm said, I had a couple of good conversations with people on tour and I’m going to postpone that,” he explained in statements to ESPN published on Monday.

“I want to see what happens when the qualifying period for the Ryder starts and see what kind of rules and eligibility they have. If I agree with them, I’ll definitely keep playing what I can on tour and try to qualify for that team. And if not, then we’ll move on. But it’s definitely something on my mind,” the 2017 Augusta Masters champion added.

The man from Borriol has already spoken with the CEO of the DP World Tour, Keith Pelley, to whom he has told that he wants to continue “being a member” of the circuit. “I want to play my bare minimum, continue to support him and have my qualifiers to make the Ryder team. He told me that was great, but they had to do what was best for them. We’ll see what that is,” he admitted.

Anyway, the Spaniard was “sad” by what happened with the Swedish Henrik Stenson, who by getting involved in the LVI Series has automatically lost his status as European captain. “Now it’s gotten a bit sadder with fines and bans and what they did to Henrik is a bit sad,” he lamented.
