Sergio Garcia won the 2025 LIV Golf Hong Kong in spectacular fashion. It was the Spaniard’s second victory in the Saudi-backed league and the ninth of his career on the Asian continent.
Garcia did not miss his moment of glory to reiterate his ambitions for making the Ryder Cup European team. The event will be played on American soil this September and the 2017 Masters champion has extensively spoken about his interest in being there.
He revealed that he has been in contact with European captain Luke Donald, who has not stopped watching his performance.
“I think he’s [Donald] watching,” Garcia told the media. “We’ve been in touch, so I know that he’s keeping an eye. The only thing I can do is keep playing good golf, and I just want to help the European team like I’ve tried to do every single time I’ve been a member of that team, and hopefully he will think I’m good enough for it.”

Sergio Garcia is a European Ryder Cup legend, with six victories in 10 appearances. He is also one of the most decorated players in the history of the prestigious event, holding several records including the most points scored (28.5).
The Spaniard is also the player with the most points in both foursomes (13.5) and fourballs (10.5, tied with two other players). He was, as well, the youngest player to play in the event, making his debut in 1999 at the age of 19 years and eight months.
LIV Golf Hong Kong was doubly special for Sergio Garcia as he added the team event title to his individual title. This was due to both his title and the fact that two of his teammates finished in the top 20 (Abraham Ancer tied for 12th and David Puig tied for 18th).
Sergio Garcia shoots rounds of 65, 64 and 63 to win LIV Golf Hong Kong by 3 shots from Dean Burmester. It’s Sergio’s 2nd win in his last 7 starts and he’s playing as good as ever.

LIV Golf rookie Luis Masaveu, for his part, finished tied for 42nd, but it was up to him to make the birdie that secured the team title.
“I love trying to help them if they need it,” Garcia said, referring to his teammates. “Obviously I don’t try to force anything, but I always ask them — have a couple comments that I would like to tell you, you want me to tell you, and then if they want it, I tell them.”
“But more than anything, I just want them to get to where I am or better than where I am faster than I did. That’s the main goal. I just give them some of my — some of the things that I’ve gone through, and I’m just trying to help them as much as I can.”
Sergio Garcia went from strength to strength to win the tournament with rounds of 5-under, 6-under and 7-under. He played his best golf on Sunday, carding an eagle and five birdies with no bogeys. A day earlier, he had also carded a bogey-free round with six birdies.
