Sergio Garcia Ends 25-Year U.S. Open Streak After Final Qualifier Miss

News summary

Sergio Garcia's remarkable streak of 25 consecutive appearances at the U.S. Open has come to an end after he failed to qualify at the final qualifying event held at Bent Tree Country Club in Dallas, Texas. The 45-year-old Spaniard shot rounds of 65 and 71, finishing one stroke short of a playoff for the last of seven available spots, marking his first absence from the tournament since 1999. Despite a strong start in the qualifier, Garcia struggled in the second round, which reflected a broader decline in form this season, including a tied-67th finish at the recent PGA Championship and missed cuts at other major events. Garcia himself acknowledged the need for improvement to contend for a Ryder Cup spot, stating he would currently decline a team pick due to his performance. The qualifier was won by Denmark's Rasmus Neergaard Petersen, with other notable PGA Tour players securing their place, while Garcia's absence raises questions about the future trajectory of his career amid his involvement with LIV Golf. Throughout his U.S. Open career, Garcia earned five top-10 finishes, including a third-place tie in 2005, and remains a significant figure in European Ryder Cup history.
