Sergio Garcia will miss out on appearing at the US Open for the first time this century after failing to progress through a Final Qualifying event in Texas on Monday.
The former Masters champion bogeyed his final hole in 36-hole qualifying at Bent Tree Country Club to finish on six under, costing him a spot in a 7-for-1 play-off for the last of seven spots up for grabs.
Spaniard carded rounds of 65 and 71 to fall short of his bid to earn a spot at the third major of the year, live from June 12-15 on Sky Sports, with Garcia now set to be absent from the US Open field for the first time since 1999.
Garcia has made 25 consecutive US Open appearances
Garcia’s failure to qualify is a further setback in his hopes of featuring in Europe’s Ryder Cup side this September, with the Spaniard having limited opportunities to earn qualification points due to him competing in the LIV Golf League.
The 45-year-old has failed to build on a positive start to the season, failing to make the weekend at The Masters before finishing tied-67th at the PGA Championship – ending a run of seven consecutive missed cuts there, with Garcia admitting to a drop in form.
“At the moment, it’s unknown,” Garcia told Sky Sports after his final-round 69 on Sunday at Quail Hollow. “Some good things and some terrible things.

“I definitely need to keep working on it and improve it to make sure that I give Luke a chance of having me in New York. Some really nice things but then a couple of shots that make you want to puke a little bit.”
Garcia posted top-six finishes in three of his first five LIV Golf League starts this season, including victory in Hong Kong in March, then adding a fourth-place finish at an International Series event on the Asian Tour, but has ended outside the top-40 in his two LIV Golf starts since The Masters.
Garcia would likely require a captain’s pick if he is to have any chance of featuring for Europe in New York
Europe’s record Ryder Cup points scorer has regularly discussed ambitions of making a record-equalling 11th appearance for Team Europe at Bethpage Black this September, but claims his current form would not currently make him a worthy pick.
“Obviously the way I’m playing, even if Luke [Donald] offered me a pick right now, I would tell him no,” Garcia told reporters after his final round at the PGA Championship. “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.”
Team Europe captain Luke Donald denies that he has ‘locked in’ any players for the Ryder Cup this year as he discusses eligibility of LIV golfers, including Jon Rahm
Who did progress through Final Qualifying?
Denmark’s Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen carded rounds of 66 and 65 to top the leaderboard on 11 under in Dallas, with three-time PGA Tour winner James Hahn and Adam Schenk a further stroke back in tied-second.
Amateurs Lance Simpson and Cameron Tankersley shared fourth spot with Mexico’s Carlos Ortiz, who plays on LIV Golf, with American Johnny Keefer the player to progress from the play-off.
LIV Golf’s Cameron Tringale and compatriot Doug Ghim secured the two spots on the alternate list, with Eugenio Lopez Chacarra – winner of the Hero Indian Open earlier this season – among those to miss out.
Last year’s Valspar Championship winner Peter Malnati and Germany’s Matti Schmid both joined Garcia in falling one shot short of the play-off, with Scott Piercy – who finished tied-second when the US Open was last held at Oakmont – Cameron Champ and Abraham Ancer also missing out.
Highlights from a thrilling final round of the 2024 US Open, where Bryson DeChambeau secured victory
Final Qualifying is held across 13 venues – 10 in America, one in Japan, one in Canada and one in the UK, with each course hosting a 36-hole event for players to try and secure their entry into next month’s US Open.
Ryder Cup captain Edoardo Molinari was among eight to progress through Monday’s qualifier at Walton Heath and three more earned their spots in the Japan event, while the final 10 qualifiers take place on June 2.

2025 NBA playoff odds: Final Four teams buck preseason title odds
<!--> This year's NBA "Final Four" is a bit of an unexpected one, especially if you take a look at the preseason title odds. Obviously, entering the 2024-25 campaign, the reigning champion Celtics topped the oddsboard at +300. Second to Boston was the 2023-24 NBA champs, the Denver Nuggets, at +750. Made perfect sense at the time. However, now that the conference finals are set to begin, neither Boston nor Denver are still in the running, with both having lost in the conference semis — the Celtics fell to the Knicks in six and the Nuggets lost to the Thunder in seven. The four teams that remain are New York, Indiana, Minnesota and Oklahoma City. So, where were those teams on the championship oddsboard prior to the season beginning?Going back in time, Minnesota was third on the board at +850. Dallas (+900) checked in at […]

The Knicks were built to beat the Celtics, acquiring Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns in an attempt to negate Boston’s advantages. But the Pacers are a different animal.
