As the European Ryder Cup team prepares for a likely influx of new blood, Jon Rahm is still backing his fellow countryman Sergio Garcia for a captain’s pick.
The 43-year-old Garcia, a 10-time Ryder Cupper and record holder for career match wins (25), is one of five members of the 2021 European team who have since joined LIV Golf – Ryder Cup veterans Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are two others – and put their future Ryder Cup status in doubt. But Rahm, speaking recently on the Golf Sin Etiquetas podcast, says there’s only one LIV player he’d pick if he were this year’s captain, Luke Donald, and that’s Garcia, whom he teamed with at Whistling Straits to go 3-0.
