“I really want to go to Mexico, to return to Mayakoba. If the league starts there and I’m sure a lot of people will come to see it, it’s a lot of fun and the Mexicans will be there to support. I love Mexico, I have felt very loved there and I have played quite well, so we have a team with two very good Mexicans as Carlos Ortiz y Abraham AncerGarcia said.

Spanish knows that LIV It is something new and different from what the Mexican fan has experienced in the same Mayakobahe Mexico Open or even the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, all tournaments of the PGA Tour.

“It’s a different feeling than a normal tour tournament you’ve seen in previous years. It is with more energy, younger and with music. It is more bearable, more fun in general terms and they will enjoy it”, recounted the Iberian.

“People have their individual players, but supporting a team, their jerseys, is something new, beautiful and that people are going to like,” he added.

He LIV It is played with only 54 holes and is a team and individual format, where the golfer with the fewest impacts is crowned after three rounds, while the team with the best score is also awarded after these same three days of competition.

Sergio Garcia leads the team of the Fireballs, where they are Carlos Ortizfrom Jalisco, and Abraham Ancer, from Tamaulipas, as well as the also Spanish, Eugenio Chacarra. For this year, García knows that they start as the ‘underdogs’.

“After last year, the 4 Aces come out as favorites, but many teams strengthened well and hopefully Fireballs will be up all year,” he said.
