Struggling Sergio Garcia says he'd decline playing for European Ryder Cup team right now if invited
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Sergio Garcia has appeared in 10 Ryder Cups and amassed more points than any other European player. But the 45-year-old Spaniard, who has earned 28½ points in the competition, said right now he would decline an invitation to play for Team Europe if he was chosen by captain Luke Donald. 'Obviously the way I'm playing, even if Luke offered me a pick right now, I would tell him no,' said Garcia, who last played in the Ryder Cup team in 2021. 'So obviously I need to get better. I need to get more where I was just before the Masters. You know, just show myself and show everyone that my game is solid, and it can help Team Europe. It's as simple as that.' Garcia said Sunday his feelings could change if he begins to play better. He made the cut at the PGA Championship this week, but was never a factor and finished well down the leaderboard at 7-over 291. Garcia won the LIV Golf Hong Kong event in March but missed the cut in the Masters and is currently not eligible for the U.S. Open or British Open, although he could attempt to qualify. 'The good thing is that there's still, you know, two or three months until the team is finalized,' Garcia said. 'So you know, I'll have time to gain some confidence and improve a little bit on my game.'

Whistling Straits seeks Ryder Cup return: 'We certainly would love to see that back'
Whistling Straits seeks Ryder Cup return: 'We certainly would love to see that back' Whistling Straits is hosting the PGA Works Collegiate Championship this week for the first time, but the Wisconsin resort has grander ambitions. Kohler Co., whose company owns Whistling Straits, already has hosted three PGA Championships in 2004, 2010 and '15. But the move of that event from August to May beginning in 2019, may make conditions less suitable for a return. 'That's less optimal, given our growing season here and where we are from a timing standpoint,' Kohler chairman and CEO David Kohler told Front Office Sports. But the Ryder Cup, which was played at Whistling Straits the last time the biennial competition was hosted on U.S. soil, in 2021, would be right up Kohler's alley. 'I think definitely the Ryder Cup in the future,' Kohler told Front Office Sports. 'We think we deserve, and have proved the right, to be considered for that again. The 2021 event at Whistling Straits will go down as one of the greatest Ryder Cups in history—the venue, the drama, the U.S. win. I think we earned the right to be considered in the future; we certainly would love to see that back.' The first open Ryder Cup date available is 2041, while the PGA Championship has an opening in 2032. Whistling Straits will host the 2028 U.S. Amateur Championship, in addition to other future USGA events. 'We're in conversations with the PGA of America and USGA, as well as other organizations, regarding unique events that we might create. We have great championship venues, including Blackwolf Run, which hosted two U.S. Women's Opens in 2012 and 1998. They were purpose — built for majors and significant events — things like not having any housing anywhere on the course, the infrastructure that's been built around them, and the reputation for delivering great championships in a state that turns up. We have a lot of assets at our disposal, and hospitality resources we've built here in Kohler that can provide leading-edge accommodations. We have all the elements to host, so we want to continue to be selective and do special events.' Expect there to be plenty of competition for a future Ryder Cup but don't put it past Kohler to pull out all the stops to ensure a Ryder Cup return in the not-too distant future.
