Garcia, 44, has now paid off his LIV Golf fines that surpassed the £1m mark and submitted his application to return to membership of the DP World Tour for the 2025 season.
Sergio Garcia tells GolfMagic he’s “really excited to be back on the DP World Tour” as he goes in search of yet another Ryder Cup record in 2025.
The 2017 Masters champion submitted his application before the 17 November deadline.
That fell on the final day of the 2024 DP World Tour season where Rory McIlroy, who was groomsman at Garcia’s wedding in 2017, sweeped up both the DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai titles.
The Spaniard will now just need to serve a two-month suspension before he is able to officially return to the former European Tour circuit that he has won on 16 times.
Garcia has confirmed to GolfMagic that his suspension on the DP World Tour will last a total of nine weeks.
That kicks in from the DP World Tour’s first event of the new 2025 season at the BMW Australian PGA Championship this week.
Garcia is now a member of the DP World Tour for the 2025 season under Category 1, which is reserved for winners of the Race to Dubai Rankings (2017 to 2024) and the four majors (2017 to 2025).
“Yeah it’s all confirmed, I am a member of the DP World Tour again so very happy about it,” Garcia told GolfMagic Editor Andy Roberts.
“I’m really excited to be back being part of the DP World Tour and excited to play a few events next year, support the Tour and obviously have the possibility of being eligible for the Ryder Cup.
“It’s now just time to play good golf and do some nice things.”
If Garcia can do exactly that and continue to play well then he will give himself every chance of competing on Luke Donald’s 2025 European Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black in New York from 26-28 September.
