El Niño Snags Open Spot—Barely!

Sergio “El Niño” Garcia just clinched the first-ever Open Championship exemption for a LIV golfer, despite a rough week in Dallas (T25). The new R&A rule let the top LIV player not already exempt grab a Royal Portrush ticket, and Garcia’s early-season grind (including a Hong Kong win) paid off. None of the chasing pack could catch him, so the Ryder Cup legend is headed to his 26th Open. Can he make another run at the Claret Jug? #LIVGolf #TheOpen #SergioGarcia #Sports #Golf
