Sergio Garcia earns exemption to The Open Championship
June 30 - Sergio Garcia has earned an exemption to play in The Open Championship at Royal Portrush thanks to his standing on the LIV Tour. The 45-year-old Spaniard, who failed to qualify for the last two Opens after playing every year from 1998 through 2022, secured his slot because the exemption list welcomes LIV's highest-ranked non-exempt player provided he's in the top five. Garcia stands fifth on LIV's Individual Championship points list and all four players in front of him -- Joaquin Niemann, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed -- already own spots in the 153rd Open being held July 17-20 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Garcia, whose lone major championship is the 2017 Masters, has challenged for The Open title on several occasions. He lost a playoff to Padraig Harrington in 2007 at Carnoustie and he shared second in 2014 at Royal Liverpool -- two shots behind Rory McIlroy. --Field Level Media

LIV Golf Dallas: Patrick Reed Wins With Birdie in 4-Man Playoff
CARROLLTON, Texas – Patrick Reed lost the lead with a 3-over 75 and then atoned for it by making a 15-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a four-man playoff on Sunday to win LIV Golf Dallas, his first title since joining the Saudi-funded league in 2022. Reed, who started the final round with a three-shot lead, fell behind late in the day at Maridoe Golf Club until Jinichiro Kozuma made bogey on the 18th hole and then made par on his final hole at No. 1 for a 68. That got him into a playoff with Reed, Louis Oosthuizen (68) and Paul Casey (72). On the first extra hole, Oosthuizen drove into the water and Casey took four shots to reach the green on the par-4 18th. Kozuma missed his 25-foot birdie try, setting the stage for Reed. Reed said it was a relief to get his first win in his home state of Texas. He won the Hong Kong Open last year on the Asian Tour but had gone 0 for 41 on LIV Golf. "To get my first win here, part of LIV, it means so much to me," Reed said. "I tried to mess it up. After making birdie on the first, I seemed to leave every putt short." Bryson DeChambeau birdied his final hole, significant only because it knocked Jon Rahm out of the top 10 for the first time in LIV Golf. Sergio Garcia was never a factor, but he ends the week at No. 5 in the points standings, earning the lone spot in The Open Championship for LIV Golf players in the top five in the standings not already eligible for Royal Portrush. TEAM SCORES LIV Golf's new scoring format this season now involves all four scores now counting in every round in the team competition.
