Sergio Garcia’s Remarkable 2025 Season: From LIV Golf Victories to PGA Championship Return

A Resurgent Start to 2025

Sergio Garcia has kicked off 2025 with impressive form, securing victory at the LIV Golf Hong Kong individual title and achieving a strong T6 finish at LIV Golf Riyadh. His leadership has also propelled his Fireballs GC team to three consecutive team titles in Adelaide, Hong Kong and Singapore, demonstrating his continued influence in professional golf.

Major Championship Return

In a significant development, Garcia has received an invitation to compete in the 2025 U.S. PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club, scheduled for May 15-18. The 45-year-old confirmed this major news via his official Instagram page on February 1. Despite being ranked 461st in the world rankings, Garcia’s invitation follows a precedent set in 2024 when fellow LIV Golf star Joaquin Niemann received a similar special invite.

Recent Achievements and Team Success

Garcia’s recent victory at LIV Golf Hong Kong showcased his enduring skills, where he posted a remarkable seven-under 63 in the final round. His performance included an eagle at the par-5 third and four consecutive birdies from the eighth hole. The 2017 Masters champion secured the win at 18-under-par total, earning the $4 million individual title while leading his Fireballs franchise to team victory.

Looking Ahead

The upcoming season holds particular significance for Garcia as he approaches his 100th career major championship start. While maintaining a modest outlook on his chances, Garcia expressed excitement about this milestone, reflecting on his journey since his major championship debut as an amateur at the 1996 Open Championship. Currently, he’s preparing for LIV Golf Andalucia, the 10th tournament of the 14-event 2025 season, where he’ll defend both his individual and team titles.
