Sergio García has continued to excel in golf since 2004, securing numerous titles. On the PGA Tour, his wins include the 2004 EDS Byron Nelson Championship and Buick Classic, the 2005 Booz Allen Classic, the 2017 Masters Tournament, and the 2020 Sanderson Farms Championship. On the European Tour, García has added to his tally with victories in events such as the 2005 Andalucía Masters at Valderrama, and multiple wins thereafter, bringing his total European Tour titles to 16 and PGA Tour titles to 11.

But, Sergio García’s whopping $40 million jump to LIV Golf really got people talking. Some folks were worried it’d put a dent in his legendary golf status. Would joining the controversial tour change how we remember his incredible career? García isn’t sweating it! When asked about the legacy factor, he shared a beautiful truth. “My legacy? Nah, I don’t think so,” he said with a shrug, per Golf Monthly. But if not his career, what does the golfer consider as his legacy?

Well, as a surprise to no one, for Garcia his legacy is his family. The golfer is married to Angela Akins and they have two children named  Azalea and Enzo. “For me, it’s about my family – my wife, kids, and how I treat them. That’s the real legacy”, he continued. Think about it – trophies collect dust, but the impact we have on our loved ones lasts a lifetime. Sergio García’s words are a gentle reminder to focus on what truly counts. Legacy isn’t just about achievements, it’s about the hearts we touch and the memories we create.

In contrast to what García said, LIV Superstar Phil Mickelson on one hand, wants his golfing career to be his legacy and well, we can’t blame the man.

Phil Mickelson sure hopes that his game becomes his legacy

Mickelson’s illustrious golf career is marked by 45 PGA Tour wins, including six Major Championships, one Players Championship, two World Golf Championships, and three FedEx Cup Playoff events/Tour Championships. You know, Phil Mickelson has been making waves in the golf world with his involvement in LIV Golf. And honestly, he’s all in. When asked about his legacy, Mickelson said, “I sure hope so” about being remembered for his work with LIV. For him, it’s about more than just winning majors – it’s about growing the game globally and giving younger players a chance to shine.

Mickelson’s passion for LIV Golf is palpable, even amidst controversy. He believes the tour has brought a much-needed change, attracting new fans and creating opportunities. “I think LIV Golf is doing that,” he says, “and I’m hopeful that my connection with LIV and the success of LIV will be what I’m known for.” What’s your take when it comes to the matter of legacy?
