Sergio Garcia has expressed confidence in his LIV golfers’ ability to win the upcoming Masters 2024. With the tournament just around the corner, 13 LIV golfers have qualified for the prestigious event.

Notably, as a former winner, Sergio Garcia enjoys a lifetime exemption to compete at the Masters. Ahead of the tournament, the Spaniard recently took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share a special message with all the LIV players who qualified for the Masters.

He wrote:

“We’re coming for that green jacket @TheMasters.”
Alongside Garcia, the field will feature defending champion Jon Rahm, Adrian Meronk, and Tyrrell Hatton, who recently joined LIV. Additionally, LIV golfers Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson, Cameron Smith, Brooks Koepka, Charl Schwartzel, Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, Joaquin Niemann, and Phil Mickelson will compete next week at the Masters.

DeChambeau, having won the US Open in 2020, has a five-year exemption to compete in the Majors, while Koepka secured his spot by winning the PGA Championship in 2023.

Adrian Meronk and Tyrrell Hatton qualified by ranking within the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). Smith, the 150th Open Championship winner, can compete at the Masters until 2027.

Watson, Johnson, Mickelson, Schwartzel, Reed, and Rahm earned their spots by winning the tournament in the past. Meanwhile, Niemann received a special invitation from the officials and will compete next week.

The Masters 2024 is scheduled to take place from April 11 to 14 at the Augusta National Golf Course.
