Fireball GC members – Sergio Garcia,, Abraham ancer,, David Puig and Luis Masave – They sat down at dinner at their home for rental beach in Adelaida, Australia, and the chef prepared something to encourage a long, hot and hectic weekend.
It was a kind of dinner that most athletes would tell you to provide some of their favorite career moments – a teammate. Simple but important; It’s not about food, it’s about relationships, laughter and stories.
This is the guy of the moment when some golfers never experience.
No doubt, that’s why Garcia, a 45-year-old team captain, has agreed to rent this house for the team in the last few years in Australia. Early in Liv golf The season, it allows a group of individual sports athletes to connect with their team and start thinking of themselves as a unit.

Fire balls together rent a house only for some tournaments, but they hold team dinners almost every night at the tournament weekends. These meals give Garcia the opportunity to maximize their role as a captain.
“The atmosphere (in the house) inside the team is just amazing. The party we have, the quality of the guys I have on my team, not only as players, but also as people, as human beings – this is amazing. And that is one of the things that Garcia won after the fireballs in Adelaude.
The Fire Balls returned to the podium as champions of the team next weekend with a victory at the Liv Hong Kong at the Golf Club in Hong Kong at Sheung Shui.
Garcia led the way to the first plan at 18 lower. Now the Golfer number 1 is in LIV’s individual order, while the fireballs sit in place number 1 in the team order. Perhaps this is a testimony for the care that Garcia requires finding time for his game- and the game of others.
Masave, the youngest Golfer on the 22 -year -old team, opened Liv Hong Kong with an extraordinary first round on Friday, but on Saturday knocked down with a grade in the second round of 3. Garcia was there to pick up his colleague of Spaniard, Masave. And maybe it helped to be founded on Sunday by the appearance of a golf young man when he landed in a stranger.
“Obviously, I’m not trying to force anything,” Garcia said when asked about his leadership advice. “But I always tell them,” I have some comments. Do you want me to tell you? “And then if they want it, I’ll tell them.
When Masave told his story of Garzi’s support, their teammate Puig, 23 years, and also from Spain, nodded in agreement.
“I think it is for me how much he cares, especially in those bad days. And when you know when you play well, it’s pretty easy, but what about when you have a tough day or bad days, even if he has a bad day, he still comes to you and talks to you and asks you,” what happened? “Or,” What was wrong? “” Puig said. “When you have a difficult moment, he is the first guy to be there next to you and only support is amazing.”
For Garcia, it’s about winning the LIV Team competition. But it’s also about paying him a new generation of Spanish golfers. He remembered when he came on a tour, and José Maria Olazabal, and Seve Ballesteros took Garcia under his lap from his twenties to his early thirties. For that, Garcia was forever grateful. Now he can play that role with Puig and Masave.
“It’s a treat for me,” Garcia said. “He simply feels.”
But he doesn’t play favorites with two Spaniards. Ancer gets a lot of mentoring. This is exactly what, in 34 years, he has more experience. But Arac has pointed to their practice together when Garcia increases competitiveness and gets a team pushing each other to each hole.
“He is the perfect role model to follow,” Arac said. “I think he’s the perfect captain.”
Garcia is not a stranger in the team format. He has played on Ryder Cup teams since 1999, with a few absences in 2010 and 2023. In this range there are 25-13-7. And he made it clear that he wanted to return to the Ryder Cup team for 2025. He hopes that performances like the one he had in Hong Kong will help remind the European team that he is in good shape. Garcia was asked if he thinks European captain Luke Donald may have recorded Garcia’s circle.
“I think he is watching. We were in contact, so I know he watches it,” Garcia said.
Meanwhile, Garcia watches his own game, which they said was his teammates among the best in the world.
“He’s a machine,” Masave said in Hong Kong on the winner’s podium.
“Sergio, this weekend, played incredible,” Puig said.
Garcia said he was focused on Liv Sangapur and Liv Miami – on the immediate horizon in the next four weeks.
But he couldn’t look at the masters, which will be his 100th major, a number he is “super proud”. He should be in a mix in Augustia, where he won in 2017. Because for everything he does for his teammates to help them win, his game looks just as good as years.
