"If there's no LIV Golf I have to go somewhere else" - LIV Golf's Sergio Garcia hints at possible PGA Tour return

Sergio Garcia resigned from the DP World Tour to continue playing on the LIV Golf Tour. However, within a few weeks, the Saudi-backed series united with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour, allowing Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan to abolish LIV Golf if he so desires.

Sergio Garcia recently discussed the new merger with SkySports, saying that if LIV Golf disbands, he would welcome a return to the PGA Tour.

Garcia stated before the start of the 2023 US Open:

"Not much. Not much. I wish I could tell you more but unfortunately not much. I guess things will come out as everything settles and stuff. But, I think at the end of the day it's probably where we should have been at the beginning and I think it's probably better for everyone. That is the most important thing."

He went on to say:

"I mean, if there is no LIV Golf I have to go somewhere. We'll see."

However, the PGA Tour commissioner has said unequivocally that certain requirements must be met in order for players to restore their membership and that a penalty may be imposed.

Sergio Garcia has a tumultuous connection with the PGA Tour. He was captured on camera raving about how he couldn't wait to quit the Tour' when competing at the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship.

He subsequently made headlines when he withdrew from the BMW PGA Championship for no apparent reason and was later spotted at a football game. Garcia will miss the Ryder Cup in September due to his resignation from the DP World Tour.
