Ryder Cup 2020 – Pádraig Harrington selects Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Shane Lowry to complete Team Europe

September 12, 2021 – European Captain Pádraig Harrington tonight selected Sergio GarciaShane Lowry and Ian Poulter as his three picks to complete his 12-player team for the 2020 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, in Wisconsin, from September 21-26.

The trio join the nine automatic qualifiers – Paul CaseyMatt FitzpatrickTommy FleetwoodTyrrell HattonViktor HovlandRory McIlroyJon RahmLee Westwoodand Bernd Wiesberger – who earlier today confirmed their spots in the team at the conclusion of the extended qualification campaign at the BMW PGA Championship, the European Tour’s third Rolex Series event of 2021.

Garcia and Poulter have been central to Europe’s recent success in the biennial contest, with a combined total of 15 previous Ryder Cup appearances between them, collectively contributing an impressive 40½ points to the European cause. Meanwhile, Lowry, the 2019 Open Champion, will be making his Ryder Cup debut, joining Hovland and Wiesberger as the three rookies in Team Europe.

“I’m really happy with my team,” said Padraig Harrington. “It’s a great team for foursomes and fourball play, a lot of good ball-strikers and it’s a team going to Whistling Straits that is well-suited to the golf course. It’s a strong, well rounded, and very balanced team.”

Spaniard Garcia will be hoping to extend his record as Europe’s all-time leading points scorer when he makes his tenth Ryder Cup appearance. The 2017 Masters Champion made his Ryder Cup debut in 1999 and, aside from 2010, has been a constant presence in the blue of Europe.

He claimed three points at Le Golf National, Paris, in 2018 to take his career tally to 25½ points, surpassing Sir Nick Faldo’s previous benchmark of 25.

“It feels amazing,” said Sergio Garcia. “Obviously it’s been a good year and I think a lot of solid play on my part. Unfortunately I fell a little short of making it by myself but I’m so happy to have the confidence of the vice captains, of Captain Harrington, and I can’t wait to see the guys and just get going.”

Like Garcia, Englishman Ian Poulter also boasts a formidable Ryder Cup record. Poulter will make his seventh Ryder Cup record appearance at Whistling Straits and he is undefeated in the Singles, having contributed 15 points overall. He was part of the European Teams which triumphed on American soil in 2004 at Oakland Hills and Medinah in 2012.

“To be standing here with the trophy in front of me to know we’re going to go again is amazing,” said Ian Poulter. “Seven Ryder Cups is stuff that you can only dream of. It’s incredible. This trophy has meant a lot to me through the years.

“For Paddy to call me today and say I want you as part of my team, it’s emotional. It’s a stacked team. I’m excited. I’m proud. My chest has been getting work the last few weeks, trying to do as many press-ups as I possibly can and hole as many putts as I possibly can to bring as many points as I can to this team.”

Irishman Shane Lowry just missed out on automatic qualification at the BMW PGA Championship and will make his first appearance for Team Europe. He previously represented his continent in the 2016 EurAsia Cup, and in addition to the Claret Jug he won two years ago at Royal Portrush, his five European Tour wins include the 2015 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in America, as well as a Rolex Series event, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

“For me it’s been a career-long goal to get to the Ryder Cup,” said Shane Lowry. “I remember sitting in the media centre here at Wentworth after I won The Open when the points started for this Ryder Cup team and I said, that’s my number one goal and it has been now for the last two years.

“There’s no point going over just to make up numbers. We want to go over and win and I have that in my head. I’ve said that all year, I don’t want to be there just to say I’ve played the Ryder Cup. I want to go and I want to make it count.”

Harrington’s European Team travel to Whistling Straits aiming to retain the Ryder Cup which they reclaimed at Le Golf National in 2018 by a margin of 17½-10½.

European Tour – Sergio García, Ryder Cup points leader, set to defend Valderrama Masters title

October 9, 2018 – Sergio García will defend his Andalucía Valderrama Masters title from October 18-21 in the wake of becoming all-time Ryder Cup points leader at the Le Golf National. This feat is the result of nearly two decades of steady success in an event focused on team action rather than individual performance. 

Sergio made this point very clearly at the start of the week in Paris: “I’m not concerned by records, I’m not even thinking about that. If I managed to beat that record, but we lost the Ryder Cup, it would be worthless to me. I’m only interested in adding points to the team so that we win back together the Cup for Europe. Only the team counts this week.”

It was Sergio’s ninth appearance in the showdown against the US, one more than his childhood hero Seve Ballesteros. He made his debut at Brookline (3-1-1) where Europe lost, but the Spanish rookie exhibited the blend of talent, courage and team spirit that would enable him to take up the torch as one of the pillars of the European side. While Seve revitalized the event by opening its doors to continental Europe and inspiring the team to new heights, Sergio has made a vital contribution to consolidating European dominance over the last two decades.

After a disappointing season this year, the 38-year-old arrived at the Albatros Course as a risky captain’s pick, but by week’s end he had cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players of the biennial event. His Sunday singles victory over Rickie Fowler capped a 3-1 week in which he was key to Europe’s sixth consecutive victory on home soil, and pushed his career Ryder Cup record to a sparkling 22-12-7 in his nine appearances, the 25.5 total points breaking the previous record.

It was a glorious and emotional moment after his win on Sunday: “Yeah, I don’t usually cry, but I couldn’t help it. What a week! It’s been a rough year, but you know, we fought hard. Obviously so thankful for Thomas to pick me and believe in me, and so happy, so happy to get the Cup back here in Paris and in Europe and for everyone to enjoy it as much as they did.”

But the team was definitely on the front of his mind: “Yeah, it means a lot but at the end of the day, I’ve always said it. It’s about the team and I’m happy that I was able to help with some of the points. It’s a bonus. It’s something that I never thought I would have the possibility of doing, and now that it’s happened, I’m just so happy. I mean, these guys are unbelievable.”

Next week at Real Club Valderrama, one of his favourite courses, Sergio will look to build on this positive momentum as he fights, this time individually, for his third Andalucía Valderrama Masters title.

Tickets for the 2018 Andalucía Valderrama Masters hosted by the Sergio García Foundation are available HERE. Children under 14 are admitted to the event free of charge when accompanied by a ticket holding adult.

adidas Golf – New sponsorship agreements for Sergio García, Xander Schauffele and Tyrrell Hatton

January 5, 2018 – The original sports brand is deepening its already-strong roster of top professional golfers to join the 3-Stripes family. adidas Golf has announced that it has extended the contract of 2017 Masters Champion Sergio Garcia, re-signed 2017 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year and TOUR Championship winner Xander Schauffele, and signed three-time European Tour winner Tyrrell Hatton to apparel and footwear contracts. The three players round out a stellar group of marquee athletes, joining world No1 Dustin Johnson, world No4 and European Tour Rookie of the Year Jon Rahm, and world No6 Justin Rose.

Sergio Garcia is no stranger to the adidas brand. Ever since turning professional nearly 20 years ago following his low amateur honours at the Masters in 1999, Sergio has worn adidas apparel and footwear on the course. This multi-year extension will continue to include headwear in addition to apparel and footwear. Following a 2017 where Sergio had three worldwide wins that included his first major, he will look to become the fourth player in Masters history to defend his title when he heads to Augusta in April. He’ll begin his 2018 campaign at the SMBC Singapore Open. He’s currently ranked No11 in the world.

“The adidas brand is as much a part of my life off the golf course as it is on,” said Sergio Garcia. “I’m just as excited to extend our relationship as I was when I first signed with adidas when I turned pro in 1999.”

Following an impressive 2017 season that was highlighted by two wins and the PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year award, world Nº25 Xander Schauffele re-signs a multi-year apparel and footwear contract with adidas that will also include headwear. He will join Sergio as the only other PGA TOUR player to wear the adidas Badge of Sport logo on the front of his hat. Schauffele is a 2018 Team USA Ryder Cup hopeful following his breakout 2017 season, and will make his first start of 2018 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, competing against fellow PGA TOUR winners from the 2017 calendar year.

“Growing up in a German family, and especially one dedicated to sports, adidas has always been a part of my life,” said Xander Schauffele. “I’ve also been wearing the 3-Stripes since I turned pro in 2015 and I’m excited for that partnership to continue for years to come.”

A rising star on the European Tour who will also play in select PGA TOUR events in 2018, world No16 Tyrrell Hatton has agreed to a multi-year deal with adidas that will feature him in apparel and footwear. Hatton’s recent success – three wins in the past two seasons on the European Tour – also puts him in contention to qualify for Team Europe at the 2018 Ryder Cup. His first start in the 3-Stripes will be at the 2018 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship later this month.

“This is an amazing time to be joining adidas,” said Tyrrell Hatton. “There’s an excitement with the brand as a leader in golf and I look forward to being part of the adidas family.”

The new contract extensions and signings mark a new chapter for adidas Golf as part of the global adidas brand; proving its commitment to the sport. The focus remains to create the best apparel and footwear for golfers everywhere, and the best players in the world are continuing to rely on their products to help them perform on the course.

“It’s extremely rewarding to know that the best golfers in the world are impressed enough with our products to want to have a professional relationship with us,” said Jeff Lienhart, president, adidas Golf. “We’re aligning ourselves with players who not only perform on the course, but also fit the brand and culture we have at adidas.”

“To work with players like DJ, Sergio, Justin and Tyrrell is spectacular, but to also include two young players in Xander and Jon – the top-two Rookies of the Year in 2017 from both of the world’s top professional tours – we know there’s a bright future ahead for all of us.”

Callaway Golf – Sergio Garcia joins Callaway Golf Tour Staff after testing different brands

January 2, 2018 – Callaway Golf has announced today that Sergio Garcia, the reigning Masters Champion, has joined its Tour Professional Staff. He will play Callaway woods, irons and wedges, an Odyssey putter and a Callaway Chrome Soft ball.

“I’m really excited to switch to Callaway,” said Sergio Garcia. “After testing different brands I realised Callaway’s technology and innovation will help me maximise my game and perform to the best of my ability.”

Callaway’s Tour Department worked extensively with Sergio Garcia to dial in the specs on each of his clubs, from driver to putter, to promote maximum distance, accuracy and control.

“The launch monitor doesn’t lie,” said Tim Reed, SVP, Global Sports Marketing, Callaway Golf. “Jailbreak driver technology has upped his distance off the tee. And the combination of Apex irons, Mack Daddy 4 wedges and our Chrome Soft ball has given him tremendous control on approach shots, and around the green.”

On the green, Sergio is currently using a new Odyssey putter that he’s won with previously. “It’s an exciting new toe hang mallet that we will launch next month,” said Sean Toulon, SVP, Callaway Golf & GM, Odyssey Brand. “He really likes the choices we have for him, especially the roll enhancing face technologies that our putters feature.”

Sergio Garcia, 37, has won 30 tournaments worldwide since turning professional in 1999, including 10 on the PGA Tour, and he’s consistently been one of the top ranked players in the world throughout his career. He has also been a mainstay in Ryder Cup competition for the past two decades, competing on eight European teams while compiling an impressive 19-11-7 record. Last October, Garcia won the Valderrama Masters in his native Spain with a Mack Daddy 4 Wedge and an Odyssey putter in the bag.

“Sergio has been one of the world’s most talented and charismatic players for almost 20 years,” said Callaway President & CEO Chip Brewer. “It will be fun to see what he can do using Callaway equipment.”

In addition to playing Callaway equipment Garcia will display a Callaway Golf logo on both sides of his hat. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Sergio García Foundation – Donation of funds raised at the Valderrama Masters to Hospital Universitario La Paz

November 27, 2017 – The Sergio García Foundation has donated all the funds raised at the Andalucía Valderrama Masters to Madrid’s Hospital Universitario La Paz to support an interior design project aiming to humanise the X-ray unit in the children’s area.

Antonio García, Sergio’s uncle and responsible for the Foundation, presented the cheque to doctors Javier Cobas, Children and Maternal Hospital Deputy Manager; Rafael Pérez-Santamarina, Hospital Manager; María Pilar Moreno Anaya, Central Services Deputy Director; Gonzalo Garzón, Head of Radiology; Esther Rey, Nursing Director; and Eduardo López Collazo, Director of the Research Institute.

The unit will be redesigned into a welcoming, bright and relaxing environment through the choice of appropriate materials, colours and images. In addition to caring for individuals, the project is environmentally friendly, as the improved lighting system will result in a 60 percent saving in power consumption.

“We are all very excited with this project, which is an area of real need. We have invested in equipment recently, but we lack infrastructure, and children must also be separated from adults,”explained Dr. Cobas.  

“The renovation will take about three months since we cannot stop our activity. Our children’s hospital, considered as number one in Europe, is well equipped with 240 beds and receives 9,000 patients per year, as the only hospital that can provide all medical and surgical specialties, allowing all types of pediatric transplants to be performed.”

For Sergio García“Winning the Andalucía Valderrama Masters was an incredible feeling, I’m still over the moon. It was a great event for many reasons: Valderrama is one of my favourite courses, I played really well and felt confident, kept patient and waited for my chances; Joost (Luiten) played unbelievable and did not make it easy for me, and the support from the spectators was awesome.

“When I was presented with the project of humanising the X-ray unit, I really liked the idea. I am very happy because we have contributed to make a dream come true for the patients and their families, through the event and my Foundation”.

The third edition of the Andalucía Valderrama Masters took place from October 19-22 as Garcia secured his third win in a season where he achieved a career ambition by sealing his maiden Major title at the Masters Tournament.

García set up his charitable foundation in 2002 for the purpose of contributing to the social inclusion of economically-deprived children through social assistance benefits and the practice of sport as free-time activity. The Foundation supports, on a regular or an occasional basis, a large variety of NGOs and humanitarian associations.

Through his foundation, Sergio has been one of the key drivers of Spanish adaptive golf. Together with the Deporte y Desafío Foundation, they conducted 23 adaptive golf clinics throughout Spain attended by more than 700 disabled persons.

European Tour – Sergio García, proud host of the Andalucía Valderrama Masters

August 12, 2017 – The Real Club Valderrama will stage the third edition of the Andalucía Valderrama Masters, the last European Tour stop on European soil before heading for China, Turkey, South Africa and Dubai. From October 19-22, the event will be sponsored by the Autonomous Government of Andalusia with the support of the Sergio García Foundation.

Sergio is a big fan of Valderrama. “Valderrama is a very special place for me, full of good memories – obviously the best when I finally managed to win in 2011. It is one of my favourite courses, one of the best in the world, and I always enjoy playing there.”

The Masters champion is hosting a European Tour event at Valderrama for the second consecutive year.

“I am delighted to support the Andalucía Valderrama Masters through my Foundation. As the tournament host, I would love to see everyone come and enjoy a great event and a wonderful occasion for all the Spanish players.

“The course is always in top condition, with fast greens and superb maintenance. At last year’s Open de España we saw a big improvement in playability with the pruning of many cork trees, particularly on holes 8, 13 and 18.

“Each hole in Valderrama has its own attraction and I like them all, because they force you to keep thinking and stay focused from the first to the last shot. It is a very demanding course that doesn’t give you any breaks. You need to put the ball in the right places and keep the errors to the minimum, but you are bound to make errors, so patience is key at Valderrama. You must respect this course or it will turn against you at any moment. One of the things I like most is that it allows you to use all the clubs in the bag.”

Including his 2011 win, García has an outstanding record at Valderrama: 7th at the 1999 WGC-American Express; 5th at the 2000 WGC-American Express; 7th at the 2002 and 2003 Volvo Masters; runner-up at three consecutive Volvo Masters from 2004 to 2006; 34th at the 2007 Volvo Masters; 4th at the 2008 Volvo Masters; 11th at the inaugural Andalucía Masters in 2010, winner in 2011 and 3rd at the 2016 Open de España.

“Last year I had another chance of winning at the Open de España. In the end I didn’t make it, but it was a positive week because I kept trying up to the last putt – I gave it my best shot. I enjoyed being the tournament host and felt proud every time I saw the name of my Foundation on the course. We had a fairly good gallery and many visitors to our stand. I want to thank them all because we raised 65.480 euro for the Spanish Cancer Association of Castellón. The money was used to rent some apartments for the families of cancer patients who can’t afford them, so the family can be together during treatment.”

Sergio García, supported by his family, set up his charitable Foundation in 2002 for the purpose of contributing to the social inclusion of economically deprived children and youth through social assistance benefits and the practice of sport as a free-time activity. The Foundation supports on a regular or occasional basis, a variety of initiatives in favour of persons with disabilities. The Sergio García Foundation and the Deporte y Desafío Foundation joined forces in 2003 with the objective of introducing adaptive golf in Spain. They developed together a twofold programme aimed, firstly, at making golf accessible to people with disabilities, thus helping them to be socially integrated. The second aim was to promote adaptive golf throughout the whole of Spain by means of specific training courses directed at golf teaching professionals. The Spanish Golf Federation as well as the Autonomic Federations joined the initiative.

adidas Golf – The styles of Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia for the 2017 PGA Championship

August 6, 2017 – Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia are heading back to the PGA Championship next week, where both players bring four career top-10 finishes to the season’s final major. Adidas Golf is preparing the world No. 1 and this year’s Masters Champion to be ‘Geared For More’ as they tee it up at Quail Hollow, where both players will be sporting some products from adidas’ Fall-Winter 2017 line.

Dustin Johnson is looking to finish the season strong as he heads into the final major of the year and into the playoffs. His look next week will infuse grey and black colourways with a subtle pop of yellow over the weekend. In addition to the climachill tonal stripe polo, Dustin will also be showcasing new styles of the 3-Stripes heather block polothat are part of adidas’ fall-winter 2017 line. As he has done all year, he’ll turn to the ultimate 3-Stripes pant, relying on the moisture-wicking stretch fabrication that provides full range of motion during the swing as he bombs drives down the fairway. His go-to shoe – the TOUR360 BOOST – will get him around the course.

Sergio Garcia’s best finish at Quail Hollow came at the 2005 Wachovia Championship where he narrowly missed winning the tournament in a playoff. He’s looking to do one better this year. Now that he’s a major winner, he’s looking to add to his resume. Sergio will be wearing bold pieces from adidas’ fall-winter 2017 line, specifically the asymmetrical stripe and climachill pixel print polos that will feature subtle pops of yellow over the weekend. He’ll pair the polos with the ultimate 3-Stripes pant in grey and black colourways, and will once again turn to the lightweight and stablePowerband BOA BOOST as he makes his way from tee to green.

“With the backdrop of the year’s final major, it’s a perfect time to showcase pieces in our fall-winter range,” said Davide Mattucci, global product director, adidas Golf. “The colours and product designs compliment Sergio and DJ’s distinct personalities, but with all the performance each of them need to get through the tough conditions.  Cooling fabrics and stretch yarns help them overcome the environment to focus on their games and bringing home the title.”
