Exclusive: Sergio Garcia confirms new player will join Fireballs GC in 2025

Sergio Garcia has confirmed to GolfMagic that Eugenio Chacarra will be replaced on Fireballs GC by a new player ahead of the 2025 LIV Golf season.

Garcia, 44, was speaking exclusively to GolfMagic ahead of hosting his third annual FORE Kids ATX golf tournament & PAR-Tee on 1-2 November that contributes to the Sergio & Angela Garcia Foundation.

The 2017 Masters champion touched on a number of hot topics with GolfMagic Editor Andy Roberts including the potential for him to return to the DP World Tour and Ryder Cup.

Garcia also gave his verdict on Yasir Al-Rumayyan and Jay Monahan's latest meeting, his thoughts on Rory McIlroy's U-turn and why he's not particularly fussed anymore about receiving Official World Golf Ranking points. 

After speaking to us about his impressive third-place finish on LIV Golf's individual standings this season, Garcia disclosed there will be one change made to his Fireballs in 2025. 

Chacarra, 24, will unfortunately be moved on after finishing 39th in the 2024 standings.

"There is going to be one new player," Garcia told GolfMagic of Fireballs GC ahead of 2025. 

"Unfortunately Eugenio Chacarra finished outside the top 24 and his contract is up. 

"We are very thankful for everything he's done this last two and half, three years."

Fireballs GC is currently made up of Garcia, Abraham Ancer and Davig Puig, who recently notched back-to-back top-five finishes on the DP World Tour. 

Garcia could not confirm to GolfMagic who his next signing will be, but he did tell us it’s "a little bit of a different profile kind of player."

The new Fireballs GC player is expected to be announced within the next two months. 

"We are working on it and hopefully we'll have something before the year ends," continued Garcia.

"It's exciting to look at different options and looking at someone who could make the team better in every aspect. 

"I think that's the end game, to make the team better as LIV Golf moves forwards. 

"Sometimes you have to make little changes here and there I guess."

Chacarra hit the ground running when he first joined LIV Golf in 2022 with a victory in just his fifth start on the circuit in Bangkok.

But he has failed to live up to the early hype since with just two top-10 finishes over the past two seasons. 

The Fireballs won the team event at Andalucia in July, a tournament that marked Garcia’s first individual title on the circuit. 

Fireballs GC went on to finish sixth in the team standings for 2024. 

Sergio Garcia was speaking exclusively to GolfMagic ahead of FORE Kids ATX, a two-day golf charity event founded by himself and his wife, Angela Garcia.

Since its inception in 2022, FORE Kids ATX has raised more than $5m for organizations that improve the lives, programs and healthcare services for children and families in Texas.
