Garcia, currently ranked 411th in the world, has seen his Ryder Cup prospects diminish despite recent success on the LIV Golf circuit, where he secured his second career title in Hong Kong in March and finished ninth in the LIV Individual Championship. The Ryder Cup exclusion marks a significant setback for the veteran, who previously held a prominent role in the biennial competition, but he remains focused on regaining form and eligibility through performance on the DP World Tour.

He needs a strong showing to qualify for the top 70 and advance to the DP World Tour Playoffs in Abu Dhabi in early November.

Some analysts, including Jon Rahm, have suggested he could be a candidate to captain the European team when the event is held in Spain in 2031. For now, however, Garcia’s immediate focus remains on regaining competitive momentum and securing his place in upcoming tournaments.
