DP World Tour refused to comply with the regulations when Sergio Garcia offered to pay the $866,566 fine to join the European team about to compete in the 2023 Ryder Cup with the United States.

Garcia's move is considered the final move in the hope of one more appearance for the European team at the most attractive men's team golf tournament in the world, this year at the Marco Simone course in Rome from September 29 to October 1. .

According to Telegraph, Garcia wants to pay the total fine to DP World Tour and will participate in the tournament as designated by the former host organization, except for matches that coincide with the LIV Golf League schedule owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), where He has been on staff for more than a year.

However, this courtesy was rejected by DP World Tour, because Garcia proactively gave up his membership card, announcing in May this year. Because of this decision, he lost his eligibility to qualify for the European force to attend the 2023 Ryder Cup.

The debt between Garcia and DP World Tour was formed from the Spanish golfer voluntarily participating in the opening tournament of LIV Golf League in June 2022 and then joining this arena. In September of the same year, Garcia blatantly dropped out of the BMW PGA Championship.

In the history of the European team competing in the Ryder Cup, Garcia is considered a hero, holding the scoring record - 28.5 through 10 competitions, of which six times he and his team won the championship. Most recently, a guest role in 2021 at Whistling Straits Stadium in Wisconsin, Europe lost miserably 9-19 to the United States. But considering that time, Garcia and Jon Rahm - fellow Spanish junior - contributed to bringing three points to the home team.

Garcia has been playing golf professionally since 1999, owning the 2017 major Masters among 11 PGA Tour titles and 16 cups on the DP World Tour. He has more than 450 cumulative weeks ranked in the top 10 in the world.
