Sergio Garcia makes major announcement ahead of starting out his 2025 golf season
LIV Golf star Sergio Garcia takes to social media to confirm a major announcement ahead of the 2025 season.
LIV Golf star Sergio Garcia has been handed an invite to compete in the 2025 U.S. PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club from 15-18 May.
Garcia, 45, confirmed his major news via his official Instagram page on 1 February.
"It’s a great honor to be invited to play in the 107th @PGAChampionship in Quail Hollow. Vamos!"

Garcia famously burst on the major scene when running Tiger Woods close to the 1999 U.S. PGA Championship at Medinah.
He would finish runner-up that week and it remains his best U.S. PGA finish of his career to date.
Check out Garcia's post below:
Garcia failed to qualify for the last two renewals of the U.S. PGA Championship.
That coincided with his move to LIV Golf in 2022.
The Spaniard has missed the last seven cuts at the U.S. PGA.
But he will be very much looking to set that record straight in 2025, especially with a return to the European Ryder Cup team on his mind.
Garcia won his sole major title to date at the 2017 Masters at famed Augusta National.
He is also the all-time record Ryder Cup points scorer with 28.5 points.
Garcia confirmed at the end of last year he would be returning to the DP World Tour in 2025.
He had terminated his membership of the DP World Tour in May 2023 - along with fellow Ryder Cup legends Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter - after losing his appeal against fines for having joined LIV Golf in 2022.
But fast forward less than two years and Garcia has now paid off his fines and once again become a member of the DP World Tour under Category 1 membership.
It is understood Garcia paid off $1m in fines in order to return to the DP World Tour.
Garcia's decision to come back to the DP World Tour now gives him a chance to become eligible for Luke Donald's 2025 European Ryder Cup side in New York this September.
Should Garcia make Donald's European Ryder Cup team then he will join Westwood and Sir Nick Faldo for a record 11 appearances.

Garcia is the captain of Fireballs GC.
He will get his fourth LIV Golf campaign underway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, next week.
Garcia confirmed on 10 January that his Fireballs team have signed the highly-rated Spanish youngster Luis Masaveu.
Masaveu, 22, only turned professional last October after an impressive amateur career which saw him reach the semi-finals of the 2024 U.S. Amateur.
He also made the cut at the 2024 Open at Royal Troon and was the low amateur at the Spanish Open in Madrid.
Masaveu replaces Eugenio Chacarra on the Fireballs after Garcia decided to get rid of the 24-year-old at the end of last year's campaign.
Former PGA Tour pro Abraham Ancer and rising talent David Puig are the other two players on the Fireballs.
"I am super excited to have Luis with us for many reasons, not only because he's a good looking young star but he's a world class person and that's what we love on Fireballs," Garcia told GolfMagic Editor Andy Roberts.
"This is what we try to have. I'm super excited, he has a lot of potential and I think he fits perfectly with the team."
