Lee Westwood An interesting name in the golf world. In a recent interview with Golf Magic, the 51-year-old Brit spoke about LIV Golf and his team, but his answer was Sergio Garcia And his return to the DP World Tour has attracted the greatest attention from fans.
The Briton stressed that he supported everyone's decision, although he knew Garcia would have to pay a hefty fine or even be suspended to be part of the DP World Tour. Garcia's overwhelming desire to perform at the Ryder Cup is clearly the key to everything.
Most golfers admit they would not make such a decision, but it is clear the experienced Spaniard is keen to perform well in the prestigious competition. Behind him is a great season with a lot of success. Sergio hopes he can return to the European team.
“Yes, it was his choice and he decided to pay the fine which entitles him to be on the qualifying list. I don't know if he will play enough games but he decided to give himself a chance. He played great last time I wish him all the best for the season.”– Westwood told Golf Magic.
GolfMagic reporters are curious to see if Westwood is considering making the same move, but Lee seems to have no such thoughts at the moment. Veterans in the golf world see the return as a positive thing. However, the hefty fines imposed by this tour are the reason he is not considering this option. Additionally, the sanctions have added to the veteran golfer's worries.
The Briton hopes things will become clearer when it comes to the future of the Tour and then ponders what to do. What was most important to him was finding a solution to the chaos in golf, and a three-way merger seemed like the best option. The biggest problem is that the three parties have yet to find a solution and reach an agreement.
“I have not lost interest in the DP World Tour, where I have played for 30 years, but I am not willing to pay the fine, especially when future sanctions are unclear. Until future fines and bans are I will not rejoin the DP World Tour until there is clarity. All in all, we have made great progress in two years and hopefully we can reach a resolution soon which will be the best for golf.. “-he continued.
When asked how confident he was about becoming captain of the Ryder Cup team, the 51-year-old stressed that he could not answer such a question because he was not yet a member of the team. Westwood sabotaged a lot of his own business by deciding to become a member of LIV, but he stressed that if given the opportunity to become captain in the future, he would be honored to accept it.
In this case, it is very difficult to expect Westwood to become captain. Given the unpredictability of things on the golf course, any outcome is possible.
Lee Westwood talks about difficulties
Lee Westwood talks about the pride in his team Majesticks GC and the challenges and difficulties faced this season. While he admitted the team didn't play the way they wanted and missed out on podium opportunities, he was proud of some of his players' individual performances and persistence throughout the season.
There were several noteworthy and brilliant moments where his team proved they could indeed compete with the best. Of course, there were also less positive moments, which Britons may not want to look back on. What matters most to him is unity, harmony and mutual trust.
According to the Brit, the biggest challenge is dealing with the disappointment of not doing well enough and missing out on opportunities. However, it is not just the results on the court that bring him the greatest satisfaction, but also the activities off the court, especially the gathering of young players on the team known as the “little sticks”. He highlighted moments of togetherness and events like the one at St George's Park as some of the most important and proudest moments of the season. For him, “giving back” through these initiatives is more important than the athletic performance itself.
He hopes to have the same success next year and strives to put his best foot forward. Westwood has big ambitions and plans for 2025. It will be interesting to see what we can expect from the veteran golfer.
