Sergio Garcia is taking a different stance on resigning his DP World Tour membership. 

The 16-time European Tour winner said earlier this month following the British Open that he intended on leaving the circuit over the fallout he’s faced since joining LIV Golf, but things changed this week over the revelation that doing so would rule him out of the 2023 Ryder Cup.

"When I finished the Open Championship [last] Sunday, I said that I was most likely going to resign my membership from the [DP World] Tour," Garcia told ESPN. "That obviously meant not being eligible for the Ryder Cup because you have to be a member."

"But thanks to the things that Jon Rahm said, and I had a couple of good conversations with guys on the [DP World] Tour, I'm going to hold off on that. I want to at least see what's happening when the Ryder Cup qualification starts," he continued.

"See what kind of rules and eligibilities they have in there. If I agree with what they [are], I'll definitely keep playing whatever I can on the tour and try to qualify for that Ryder Cup team. And if not, then we'll move on. But it is definitely something that is in my mind."
