Europe Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald revealed on Tuesday he has been in talks with LIV golf defector Sergio Garcia about making a possible return to the team for next year's clash with the USA.

Speaking at an event in New York to mark the countdown to next year's Europe-USA Ryder Cup showdown at Bethpage, Donald confirmed he had spoken to Garcia about his availibility.

Garcia, the all-time leading Ryder Cup scorer with 28.5 points in 10 appearances, missed last year's tournament in Rome after opting to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit.

However Donald said on Tuesday that Garcia was now considering applying to rejoin the DP World Tour in a push to be eligible for selection.

"Obviously he resigned his membership a couple years ago," Donald said of Garcia.

"But we have had some chats. He's considering rejoining. He'd have to follow all the rules and regulations like everyone else, and if he does that, again, he will be eligible to partake in the Ryder Cup.&nbsp;

"We chatted on phone a couple weeks ago. He's certainly very interested in doing that. He understands everything that's involved, and again, the decision has to go to him, whether he's prepared to do all that.

"But certainly, we've had that discussion, yes."

Donald said existing regulations meant other LIV players could also be available as captain's picks.

"The DP World Tour's policies have been very consistent. There's been a lot of clarity around that," Donald said.

"It's really the same as it was in Rome. You have to be a Member of The European Tour and born in Europe. If you fulfill the regulations and the rules that the DP World Tour set, then you're eligible. There's a bunch of LIV guys that play on LIV that they are eligible now; so I can pick them at will."

US officials have already given the green light for LIV players to play on the American team, as they did in 2023 when Brooks Koepka was given a captain's pick to join the team.

United States captain Keegan Bradley said Tuesday he planned to select "the 12 best players."&nbsp;

"So if we feel like there's a few guys there, one guy, two guys, whatever it is, then we're going to do that," Bradley said.

"But we're too far out to figure out how this is all going to play out. But we're definitely going to take the 12 best players however that shakes out."

The 2025 Ryder Cup takes place at Bethpage Black in New York from September 26-28. Defending champions Europe are chasing their first victory in the tournament on US soil since the famous "Miracle at Medinah" in 2012.

Ryder Cup: Captain Luke Donald in talks with Sergio Garcia over possible return to Team Europe

The Ryder Cup is set for a fiery climax on Sunday after Rory McIlroy's row with Patrick Cantlay's caddie overshadowed the American's late surge in Saturday's fourballs which gave the USA a glimmer of hope.

Sunday's 12 singles matches were already going to be spicy affairs as the USA need a record-breaking comeback from 10.5-5.5 down to win the trophy for the first time on European soil in 30 years.

And there could well be added needle between the two teams following the explosive aftermath of a dramatic and tension-packed win for Cantlay and Wyndham Clark sealed on the 18th green of the Marco Simone course in Rome, the third for the US in the four afternoon fourballs.

Cantlay and Clark prevailed in the day's final fourballs match against McIlroy and Matthew Fitzpatrick, sparking wild celebrations from the US team and fans.

However McIlroy was enraged by the behaviour of Cantlay's caddie Joe LaCava, who was waving his hat and refused to move out of the four-time major winner's way while he was waiting to take a putt which could have halved the hole and match for Europe.

Northern Irishman McIlroy was then filmed having another blazing row with an unidentified member of the USA team in the course carpark, having to be pulled away and bundled into a car by teammate Shane Lowry.

Europe captain Luke Donald told reporters that McIlroy thought "the line was crossed" with LaCava's behaviour, causing a row which dominated headlines following an epic session which ended at nearly 7:00pm local time (1700 GMT).

It was a dramatic third win from four afternoon fourballs for the USA and earned largely thanks to Cantlay, who sunk three crucial putts in the final three holes just as momentum appeared to have definitively swung in the Europeans' favour.

<h2>'Ray of light'</h2>

The most impressive was at 18, a 30-footer drained under huge pressure which eventually led to McIlroy losing his cool with his American counterparts, who had been trailing by seven points at lunchtime after a dismal effort in the morning foursomes.

"Hopefully have a ray of light and we can build on this session and try and pull off a big victory tomorrow," said Cantlay who competed Saturday without a cap, although he denied the gesture was in protest at players not being paid.

"The hat doesn't fit. It didn't fit at Whistling Straits (when the USA crushed Europe 19-9), and didn't fit this week. Everyone knows that," Cantlay added.

The USA still have a massive task on their hands as no team has ever recovered from more than a four-point deficit at the end of the second day.&nbsp;

That leaves Europe still favourites as they seek the four points needed to claim their seventh straight home win in the Ryder Cup.

Robert MacIntyre and Justin Rose cruised to a three and two victory over Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth who had come into the tournament with a formidable matchplay record.

Rose had sunk the key 19-foot putt to halve his Friday fourballs match in stunning fashion and on Saturday the English Ryder Cup veteran repeated the trick on the 16th.

"I just knew there was a huge opportunity today," said Rose.&nbsp;

"Obviously nine and 10, we went one up and... I said to Bobby, the next 20 minutes, we have to put our foot down and get out and get a stranglehold on this match. That's exactly what happened."

<h2>'Win or die trying'</h2>

By that time the USA had already collected two of their afternoon points with convincing wins.

Sam Burns and Collin Morikawa cruised to a 4 and 3 victory over Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg, who ran out of gas after dishing out a record-breaking 9 and 7 foursomes hammering to Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka.

Max Homa and Brian Harman were the only bright spot in the morning foursomes for Johnson's team.&nbsp;

The pair followed that up by prevailing 2 and 1 over Tommy Fleetwood and Nicolai Hojgaard, and Harma has no illusions about their chances on Sunday.

"Backs against the wall. We've got a deep hole to climb out of," admitted Harman.&nbsp;

"But we've got some good players and got a good team. So we're going to fight like hell and either win or die trying."

Golf: Ryder Cup set for spicy climax after Rory McIlroy's spat amid Team USA surge

Roger Federer called it quits from tennis after his doubles encounter at the Laver Cup, which concluded on Sunday (September 25) in London. Federer's last match saw him team up with his longtime rival and close friend Rafael Nadal as the two faced American duo&nbsp;Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe, where they lost&nbsp;4-6, 7-6 (2), 11-9.&nbsp;

After the match, Federer was in tears and so was his arch-rival Nadal. Over the years, while many have pitted them against each other and termed them as one of the greatest rivals, the two share a great camaraderie and have immense respect for each other. Hence, even Nadal couldn't hold back his tears after Federer's illustrious career came to an end.

Recently, Nadal -- with most Grand Slam titles (22) in men's tennis -- reflected on Federer's retirement and told COPE, "I'm a sensitive person, when you see someone you appreciate saying goodbye it's hard not to get emotional. It was difficult for it not to happen because of everything that was experienced that night."

The Spaniard opined on the duo's iconic photo where both were shedding tears and said, "It got a little out of hand, and the worst thing is that when I went to the dressing room it happened again. Like everything, the relationship had different stages. It's been a relationship that was good from the beginning but that grown stronger over the years."

Nadal pointed out that his personal relationship with Federer is something he enjoyed more than their professional relationship.&nbsp;"Thanks to that, people who weren't interested in tennis took some interest in our sport. Our way of seeing the rivalry and the world has meant that the personal relationship we've shared has probably been even more important than the professional relationship we've had," Nadal said on the Swiss maestro, who ended with 20 Grand Slam titles in a career spanning over 24 years.

Talking about the Laver Cup 2022 edition, Team World won the title for the first time (in the fifth edition) as they beat Team Europe 13-8.

Tennis fans are used to seeing Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray fight tooth and nail to beat each other at the Grand Slams but the "Big Four" are set to play together in the same team for the first time at the Laver Cup in London.

Wimbledon champion Djokovic on Friday was named as the fourth member of the six-man Team Europe, the 35-year-old Serb joining his long-time rivals at the fifth edition of the ATP-sanctioned event from Sept. 23-25.

Named after Australian great Rod Laver, the three-day team event pits six of Europe`s top players against six from the rest of the world. "It`s the only competition where you can play in a team environment with guys that you`re normally competing against and to be joining Rafa, Roger and Andy – three of my biggest all-time rivals – it`s going to be a truly unique moment in the history of our sport," Djokovic said in a statement. 
Nadal, Djokovic, Federer and Murray have dominated men`s tennis over the last two decades, winning 66 Grand Slam titles between them.

Nadal holds a men`s record 22 Grand Slam titles with Djokovic, who played in the second edition of the Laver Cup in 2018, one behind. London`s O2 Arena, which hosted the men`s season-ending ATP Finals from 2009 to 2020, will stage the Cup with Team Europe, captained by Bjorn Borg, having won all the previous editions.

"I don`t think I could have imagined having these four icons of the sport on one team together," said Borg. "I know they, like I, appreciate the significance of this moment and will be truly up for it. "Each year our goal is to win. With Rafa, Roger, Andy and Novak on the team, I like our chances."

Team World captain John McEnroe has named Felix Auger-Aliassime, Taylor Fritz and Diego Schwartzman as three members of his team.

Laver Cup: Serbian star Novak Djokovic joins Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Murray for Team Europe

Alexander Zverev sealed a dramatic Laver Cup victory for Europe over Team World in Geneva on Sunday, as the German beat Milos Raonic in the deciding singles match.

The holders trailed 11-7 midway through the final day but Zverev, after Roger Federer had edged past John Isner, downed Raonic 6-4, 3-6, 10-4 to deny John McEnroe's visitors their maiden triumph in the third edition of the event.

Instead, Bjorn Borg's Europe made it three wins from three since the inaugural staging in 2017.

"Team World came once again very close but we won the right points and had maybe a little bit of luck," said captain Borg.

"I'm very proud of my team, they did a hell of a job. I'm a very happy captain."

After Rafael Nadal withdrew from Sunday's play with a hand injury, Isner and Jack Sock beat Federer and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the opening doubles encounter, before Taylor Fritz saw off Dominic Thiem to leave Team World one win from the trophy.

But Federer claimed a 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) victory over Isner to set up a winner-takes-all clash between Zverev and Raonic.

World number six Zverev took the first set courtesy of a break in game seven, with big-serving Canadian Raonic hitting back to force a super tie-break, saving four break points to serve out the second set.

But Zverev, selected by Borg ahead of Tsitsipas and Fabio Fognini for the first-ever Laver Cup decider, raced to victory as Raonic's serve deserted him.

The 22-year-old, who also clinched Europe's win last year by beating Kevin Anderson, fired a brilliant cross-court forehand past Raonic on his first match point.

"I've never played in something like that, it was unbelievable," said Zverev.

"It's very special, especially playing in front of those guys and them trusting me to play the last singles game. This event is something I hope to play in every single year of my career."

Europe will defend their title in 2020 at TD Garden in Boston from September 25-27.

Federer keeps Europe alive

Federer had to win a tense tie-break over world number 20 Isner to take three points in the penultimate match, smashing an ace on the final point to raise the roof in Geneva, after the American had somehow shot wide on the previous point with the court at his mercy.

"I'm thrilled that I was able to give something back to the team," said Federer.

"Obviously to see Rafa on the sidelines after having to pull out with an injury, it's great camaraderie I feel."

Team World had started the day 7-5 behind.

Fritz had earlier put Team World to within touching distance of a shock success with a 7-5, 6-7 (3/7), 10-5 win over Thiem.

The American, himself a replacement for the injured Nick Kyrgios, followed up Isner and Sock's 5-7, 6-4, 10-8 defeat of Federer and Tsitsipas with a surprise tie-break triumph over world number five Thiem.

"That was such a big match for Team World to win, we really needed that," said Fritz.

"This has to be one of the biggest wins of my career. It means so much more when you're playing for other people as well."

This year is the first time the tournament has been played since being added to the ATP Tour.

Europe won the 2018 edition 13-8 in Chicago.

Alexander Zverev clinches Europe thrilling Laver Cup victory

Roger Federer maintained his 100% Laver Cup record against Nick Kyrgios on Saturday with a thrilling 6-7(5) 7-5 10-7 victory over the Australian to give Team Europe a 5-3 lead.

Playing in front of 17,000 fans in Geneva, home favourite Federer beat Kyrgios for the third time in as many editions of the competition to take Europe closer to the 13-point victory target ahead of the night session that features Rafa Nadal.

"It was really close that first set so it was tough to lose," 20-times Grand Slam winner Federer said.

"The crowd could feel it, I could feel it. I needed to get some energy going but you can't do that if you don't play any good shots and Nick was playing very well.

"I was just trying to stay focused. If you can turn the momentum, the crowd gets back into it and I need some earplugs next time, it was just phenomenal."

Earlier, John Isner scored a 6-7(2) 6-4 10-1 victory over German Alexander Zverev to help Team World draw level with Team Europe at three points apiece.

With two points up for grabs for victories on the second day of the tournament in Geneva, Zverev looked on course to extend Europe's 3-1 lead from Friday after edging a tight first set in the tiebreak.

However, the towering Isner battled back in the second set and broke to go ahead 5-4 with a lunging volley, then dragged the contest into a decider which he dominated.

"I wasn't making any inroads on his serve at all and he was the better player for 85% of that match," American Isner said.

"Of course, I got a little lucky at 4-4 but once I got up 5-4, I had a lot of momentum, and I think I showed that in the tiebreaker."

Nadal faces Milos Raonic in the third singles match before the Spaniard teams up with Stefanos Tsitsipas to take on the Team World pair of Kyrgios and Jack Sock.
