Sergio Garcia has issued an official statement following his reported departure from LIV Golf, thanking the league, his teammates and supporters while reflecting on his time with the Saudi-backed circuit.
The former Masters champion had been at the center of speculation in recent weeks amid reports linking him with a possible exit as LIV Golf continues to evaluate its long-term plans and financial structure.
In his statement, Garcia expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the league from its earliest days.
“I want to thank LIV Golf, my teammates, the staff, and all the fans who have supported me throughout this journey,” Garcia said. “Being part of this league has been a special experience, and I will always appreciate the friendships and memories created along the way.”
Garcia joined LIV Golf in 2022 and quickly became one of the circuit’s most recognizable stars. As captain of Fireballs GC, he helped build one of the league’s most successful teams while serving as one of its veteran leaders.
The Spaniard also acknowledged the support he received from fellow players during his time in the league.
“I have had the privilege of competing alongside some incredible players and working with people who care deeply about the game of golf. Those relationships will always remain important to me.”
While Garcia did not reveal specific details regarding his future plans, he indicated that he remains focused on the next chapter of his career.
“Golf has given me so much throughout my life, and I remain excited about what lies ahead. This is not the end of my journey, but simply the beginning of a new chapter.”
LIV Golf also thanked Garcia for his contributions to the league, praising his leadership, passion and commitment to team competition.
Garcia’s departure would represent one of the most significant exits in LIV Golf’s history given his status as a major champion and Ryder Cup legend.
During his time with the league, Garcia enjoyed both individual success and strong performances with Fireballs GC, helping establish the team as one of LIV’s most competitive squads.
The veteran golfer also took time to thank fans for their continued support.
“To everyone who has followed my career and supported me through every stage, thank you. Your encouragement has meant everything to me.”
Although uncertainty remains regarding Garcia’s next move, his statement suggests that he leaves LIV Golf on positive terms.
As one of Europe’s most successful golfers and one of LIV Golf’s original stars, Garcia’s impact on the league is unlikely to be forgotten.
For now, the golf world waits to see what comes next for the Spaniard as he begins the next phase of his career.
