Overview
- Garcia confirmed he will not play any more DP World Tour events in 2025 after making only two starts, the BMW International Open (missed cut) and the Open de España (T39).
- He rejoined the Tour this year after resigning in 2023 when an arbitration panel upheld the Tour’s right to sanction LIV participants, and he paid over £1 million in fines to settle.
- The 45-year-old is about 177th in the Race to Dubai, with his last DP World Tour win in 2019 and his most recent victory coming at LIV Golf Hong Kong in March 2025 without OWGR points.
- After being left off Luke Donald’s Ryder Cup picks, Garcia withdrew from the Irish Open, and losing membership would leave him ineligible for Team Europe unless he regains status.
- Reports indicate Tour officials may consider easing the $1 million fine policy for LIV players, but nothing is resolved, and current criteria would also leave him ineligible for the HotelPlanner development tour in 2026.
