Nick Faldo slams Garcia’s last-ditch Ryder Cup attempt telling LIV stars they’re “done”

Sir Nick Faldo has had his say on Sergio Garcia’s last-ditch attempt to make the European Ryder Cup team, after the Spaniard offered to pay off his DP World Tour fines

Sir Nick Faldo has told Sergio Garcia and his fellow LIV Golf stars that they’re “done” after the Spaniard made a last-ditch effort to make this year’s European Ryder Cup team.

Garcia has been a stalwart of the Team Europe setup over the past two decades, but will miss his first Ryder Cup since 2010 after resigning his DP World Tour membership due to his LIV allegiances. According to The Telegraph though, the Spaniard made an attempt to regain his Ryder Cup eligibility by paying £700,000 in owed fines to the DP World Tour.

The surprise proposal was rejected by the DP World Tour, meaning Garcia will have to watch this year’s match-up with the Americans from home for only the second time since making his debut in 1999.

Following Garcia’s attempts, Faldo was quizzed on whether he felt the absence of the 2017 Masters champion hampered the European team, to which he brutally replied on Golf Today: “You’ve got to be kidding! I think we have got one of the strongest teams we’ve ever had, plus those guys [on LIV Golf] have not played in enough tournaments.
