European star Sergio Garcia is ‘willing to snub the Ryder Cup ’ in order to join the contentious Saudi-backed Golf League, according to the Telegraph. Garcia has announced himself as a staple for the event throughout his career, and has earned the most points in Ryder Cup history.
However, reports suggest the Spaniard is willing to risk never representing Team Europe on the big stage ever again in order to join LIV Golf Invitational led by former world No. 1 Greg Norman. The contentious Saudi-backed circuit has sent shockwaves around the golfing world in recent months.
As a result, main man Norman has looked to tempt a number of golf’s biggest players over to the new breakaway circuit, which will kick off at the Centurion Club later this year.
