Sergio Garcia fires incredible round of 58 just days before 2025 Ryder Cup

Sergio Garcia may have been denied one of Luke Donald's six captain's picks on the 2025 Ryder Cup team, but he's just fired a 12-under 58 with his buddies in Austin.

Sergio Garcia has taken to social media to reveal he shot a round of 12-under 58 just a week before the start of the Ryder Cup. 

LIV Golf superstar Garcia, 45, was overlooked one of Luke Donald's six captain's picks on the European Ryder Cup team at Bethpage.

The Spaniard, who remains the record top scorer in Ryder Cup history with 28.5 points to his name, won his second LIV Golf title in Hong Kong earlier this season in March.

But in the eyes of Donald, who spoke to GolfMagic at the British Masters last month, Garcia failed to build enough momentum over the summer with which to force his hand. 

While understanding of Donald's decision, Garcia was disappointed to miss out on what would have been a joint-record 11th appearance on the European Ryder Cup team. 

After learning his fate, Garcia immediately pulled out of the Irish Open on the DP World Tour so he could "recharge the batteries" at home with his family.

Garcia revealed all in an exclusive interview with GolfMagic after Donald's six picks were confirmed to the world. 

He told us he wishes the European team all the best and will be supporting them from his couch in Austin. 

Rory McIlroy then had his say on Garcia's absence from The K Club. 

Instead of competing in the Irish Open, Garcia and his wife Angela were seen watching their good friend and tennis ace Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open.

Alcaraz, who went on to defeat Jannik Sinner in the final, also played a round of golf with Garcia that week. 

In a further exclusive interview with GolfMagic, the 2017 Masters champion gave us the lowdown on his match with Alcaraz. 

Fast forward to this week, and Garcia was once again back to his brilliant best during a round at Austin Golf Club on Thursday. 

Garcia took to social media to reveal his magical round of 58, which featured 12 birdies on the card. 

He went out in 28 and came back in 30. 

According to Garcia's scorecard, he was playing off a +8 handicap.

Garcia, who has won 11 times on the PGA Tour and 16 on the European Tour in his career, was playing alongside his friends Steve Speares, Bubba Nickle and Todd Rader.

"Not like the hole in one I made against Lee Westwood in Austin in 2021, but super special to shoot 58 with my buddies Steve Speares, Bubba Nickle and Todd Rader 9/18/25 Austin Country Club!" Garcia wrote on Instagram.

The round of 58 unsurprisingly marks the lowest of Garcia's golf career. 

Garcia's lowest ever round in PGA Tour competition was a 61, which he recorded in the second round of the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone. 

His lowest round to date on LIV Golf is a 63, which he posted earlier this season en route to seeing out a three-shot victory at LIV Golf Hong Kong.

With the LIV Golf season now in the books, Garcia is next expected to tee it up on the DP World Tour at his home Open de Espana from 9-12 October.

Earlier this week, Garcia and his wife Angela announced the fourth annual edition of their golf charity event, FORE Kids ATX, taking place from 6-7 November.

The two-day gala and golf fundraiser benefits children and families across Texas.
