For the first time this century, the U.S. Open will almost certainly take place without Sergio Garcia.
Garcia failed to earn a spot in the major championship on Monday at a local qualifier in Dallas. That means that, barring some sort of late special exemption, Garcia will now miss out on the U.S. Open for the first time since 1999.

Garcia bogeyed his final hole in a 36-hole qualifier in Dallas on Monday afternoon, which ended up costing him a spot in a 7-for-1 playoff. Garcia three putted on the last green, too. He ended up shooting a 71 in his second round, which brought him to 6-under on the day.
“You have to play good in the afternoon just like in the morning, and I didn’t do that,” Garcia said on his way to the parking lot, via Golf.com.
James Hahn, Rasmus Neergaard-Peterson and Adam Schenk also earned spots out of the qualifier, along with a pair of amateurs, LIV Golf’s Carlos Ortiz and Johnny Keefer. Other notable names who missed the mark in Dallas include Cameron Champ, Charlie Hoffman, Joel Dahmen, Austin Eckroat, Abraham Ancer and Talor Gooch.
The U.S. Open is set to start on June 12 at Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh.
What’s next for Sergio Garcia?
Garcia is undoubtedly one of the better Spanish golfers in history. He won 11 times on the PGA Tour, including both at The Players Championship and the Masters — which marked his first and only major championship title — and he’s won 16 times on the DP World Tour. He’s climbed as high as No. 2 in the Official World Golf Rankings, though that’s plummeted since he joined LIV Golf.

Garcia missed the cut at the Masters last month, which marked his sixth cut in his last seven starts at Augusta National. He finished T67 at the PGA Championship last week in North Carolina, too.
Garcia has been striving to earn a spot on the European Ryder Cup team for this fall, which is something he’s been a mainstay on since he turned pro in 1999. Garcia has played on 10 different European Ryder Cup teams and he’s earned more points than any other European player in the event’s history.
But, with his current play and limited opportunities to earn points on LIV Golf, Garcia will only make the team if captain Luke Donald selects him. But, after how he played at Quail Hollow Club last week, Garcia isn’t interested.
“Obviously the way I’m playing, even if Luke offered me a pick right now, I would tell him no,” Garcia said Sunday, via The Associated Press. “So obviously I need to get better. I need to get more where I was just before the Masters. You know, just show myself and show everyone that my game is solid, and it can help team Europe. It’s as simple as that.”
Garcia backed that up on Monday night, too.
“I just got to play better,” he said. “I’m not doing it.”

Dodgers ensure they don’t waste Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s brilliant night as they snap skid
LOS ANGELES – Yoshinobu Yamamoto made history before even throwing a single pitch in Major League Baseball with the sport’s richest contract ever for a pitcher, and has spent the months since charting a path towards nights like Tuesday night, where he put a team’s hopes on his back. On a night where he shouldered the burden of stopping the Dodgers’ slide, Yamamoto produced the kind of performance that the Dodgers shelled out $325 million for.AdvertisementThe Dodgers pitching has been in shambles. They needed Yamamoto to be great. He was on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, delivering the kind of performance needed to stop a slide that has mucked up their May.Which made it all the more important to not waste Yamamoto’s yeoman’s work. The Dodgers very nearly did. They scored just one run when he was on the mound, […]
Marchandova klasika. Vytočil soupeře, šel do bitky, ale trestu se divil nejen on
Obhájci Stanley Cupu na startu série tým Hurricanes zkušeně rozebrali, a domácím tekly nervy. Marchand za stavu 4:1 pro Panthers ve třetí třetině zkoušel trefit u mantinelu Shaynea Gostisbeherea. Obránce Caroliny se střetu na poslední chvíli vyhnul, za několik sekund ale cíleně vypálil pukem na forčekujícího Marchanda, což později sám přiznal.Floridský veterán si to pochopitelně nenechal líbit a strhla se krátká bitka. Rozdělení trestů ovšem hostující lavičku dost překvapilo. Gostisbehere vyvázl jen s dvojkou za hrubost, zatímco Marchand inkasoval 2+2 a navrch desítku za vyprovokování bitky.„Mám na to názor, ale nechám si ho pro sebe,“ poznamenal kouč Panthers Paul Maurice. „Každý hráč by měl mít právo hájit se v bitce, když do něj někdo cíleně napálí puk. Proč ho nemá Marchand?,“ ptají se fanoušci Floridy. V samotném závěru do Gostisbeherea ještě zajeli Jonah Gadjovich a A.J. Greer, aby ukázali, jak Panthers drží při sobě.Sedmatřicetiletého kapitána Marchanda vyměnil Boston před uzávěrkou […]

FIFA planning dynamic pricing model for 2026 World Cup tickets
FIFA is planning to sell general sale tickets for the men’s World Cup in 2026 under a dynamic pricing model, a system whereby prices fluctuate based on demand.So far, the only ticket packages available to purchase for the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, have been limited to hospitality offerings which feature multiple games packaged together. Prices for those packages start at $3,500 per person, soaring to $73,200.AdvertisementIn response to this story, FIFA said that ticket sales for the World Cup are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025 via their official website and that further details will be released in due course.However, The Athletic has been told by individuals familiar with FIFA’s planning, who wished to remain anonymous to protect relationships, that the organisation is currently intending to implement a […]
Dynamic pricing is coming to the 2026 men’s World Cup. So what is it exactly?
The men’s World Cup coming to the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer will feature dynamic ticket pricing, a tool with the potential to send ticket prices soaring.As reported by The Athletic on Wednesday, FIFA, world soccer’s governing body, will use the automated system to set the prices for the 104 games being staged across 16 host cities. With 48 teams competing, this will be FIFA’s largest edition of the event and it’s the first time the tournament will feature dynamic pricing.AdvertisementThe pricing tool reacts to ticket demands in real time, so prices fluctuate in sync with the growing or waning interest of games. The tool, used widely in the United States for major sporting events and concerts, has become, to some, a loathed American tradition because it seemingly values profit over access for the average fan.Still, dynamic pricing […]
