Clearly, this was not the case before, a lot has changed. Earlier, young professionals had to pay their way through the journey. This resulted to be a financial burden on these young talents.
Garcia was quick to answer this ‘great’ question. He said, “I think this is a great path. I was fortunate because I had a really good amateur career. I had a couple of decent contracts when I came out. But still, you have to perform every single week, and if you don’t, look what happened to Justin Rose.”

The pro golfer continued, “To be able to come out here with good talent and show what they can really do without having to be super intense if I don’t make the cut this week. I think it’s huge. LIV Golf has given us that chance, and super proud that we have one of them on our team and already a winner. It’s amazing.”
