A missed opportunity for collaboration and experience

The revelation that Sergio Garcia has been ruled out of the European Ryder Cup team by captain Luke Donald has left both fans and analysts bewildered. With Garcia’s impressive Ryder Cup track record and consistent performance, his exclusion seems counterintuitive.
While Donald’s reasoning suggests that the resignation of LIV Golf players from the DP World Tour was the primary factor, questions arise regarding the transparency of the decision-making process. As the Ryder Cup approaches, it remains to be seen according to msn, how the European Team will compensate for the absence of Garcia’s talent and experience on the grand stage of the tournament.
