While the regular PGA Tour season has already started, Garcia might be referring to the 2023 season of the LIV Golf Series. The Fireballs GC captain is expected to tee up at the first event of the early new LIV season.

Unlike last year, the season is tentatively commencing in February, with the location not fixed yet. This season will feature a set of new hosts, including LIV events in Australia, Spain, and Mexico, to name a few.
