Nothing to prove
Garcia already has an incredible career. He got the Major monkey off his back at the 2017 Masters and his 36 wins include 16 on the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) and 11 on the PGA Tour. These stretch from his breakthrough victory in his sixth start as a pro in the 1999 Irish Open at just 19 years of age to his most recent title at the Sanderson Farms Championship in October 2020. He won the Players Championship in 2008 and has spent over 450 weeks in the world’s top ten, reaching a career-high of number two, also in 2008. He has 22 Major top-tens alongside that win at Augusta National, but no top-tens and 11 missed cuts in the 17 Majors since he donned the Green Jacket.
