Sergio Garcia's golden handcuffs are shattered – and the Masters champion sees a path back to the PGA Tour as 'definitely possible.' Following a court ruling, the Spaniard is free from his original LIV contract and is now considering all options: PGA Tour, DP World Tour, a potential LIV 2.0 deal, or even the Champions Tour.

Turning 47 in January, the PGA Tour Champions also beckons him, especially because of the major tournaments there.
Garcia's freedom could also set an important precedent for other LIV players like Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith, as the league restructures itself through bankruptcy proceedings. One thing is certain: Garcia has the freedom to plan his next step, but it's not yet a confirmed PGA Tour comeback. However, the door is open, and that alone is worth a story.
