Garcia, the Ryder Cup's record point-scorer, expressed hope of making Luke Donald's European team for Bethpage in September. He confirmed ongoing communication with Donald while acknowledging that consistent strong performances are crucial for selection consideration.
Phil Mickelson achieved his best LIV finish, placing third at 14-under. The six-time major champion credited his improved performance to a new playing style and strengthened short game. Mickelson expressed confidence in his form heading into the Masters, where he aims to win a fourth green jacket.

Garcia's victory came after switching back to an old blade putter, which helped him limit his bogeys to just two all week. The tournament showcased both Garcia's enduring excellence and Mickelson's resurgence as the LIV Golf League continues to evolve.
The next LIV Golf event takes place at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore from March 14-16.
