Sergio Garcia had an incredible week at the Hong Kong Golf Club as he won the 2025 LIV Golf Hong Kong event. He carded -18 for the event and won by three strokes, with Dean Burmester finishing at -15.
During the post-round press conference after his win, Garcia was asked if he is hoping Luke Donald is keeping track of his performances.
"I think he's watching. 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 said via ASAP Sports.

Luke Donald on Sergio Garcia's chances of playing in the 2025 Ryder Cup
The 2025 Ryder Cup European team skipper, Luke Donald, was asked about Sergio Garcia's ambition to be part of the Ryder Cup team during last year's captain's press conference.
"He thinks he can play. He wants to play. I don’t think he has talked to me about being an assistant captain, but again, he would have to re-join the tour for him to be eligible. He’s certainly very interested in doing that. He understands everything that’s involved and again, the decision has to go to him whether he’s prepared to do all that."
Continuing further, he said there are a bunch of LIV Golf players who are eligible, and if they fulfill the regulations and rules, then they can be picked.
"If you fulfill the regulations and the rules that the DP World Tour set, then you’re eligible. There’s a bunch of LIV guys that play on LIV who are eligible now so that I can pick them at will."
The 2025 Ryder Cup is all set to begin on September 26 at the Bethpage Black Course in New York.
