Q. You've won three professional titles at Valderrama before. How do you feel returning to a course where you've had lots of success, and how does it feel to be competing in Spain in front of a home crowd?
SERGIO GARCIA: Yeah, it's amazing. Obviously it's a dream come true to be able to go back to Spain and take LIV Golf there and all the teams and to play at my favorite golf course in the world, Valderrama. Yeah, I've been very lucky to be successful there, and I'm super excited to hopefully have another great week there, not only for myself but for Fireballs GC, and see what happens.
Q. As captain of team Fireballs GC, what advice are you going to give your teammates ahead of Valderrama, and how can they prepare themselves for the unique challenges of the course?
SERGIO GARCIA: Yeah, I think at the end of the day, everybody has their way and their specific game plan. Obviously we'll have some practice rounds there together, and whichever questions they have, I will answer. I'm not going to tell them how to play the game because everybody has that I ever own way of playing, and what might be comfortable for me might not be comfortable for one of them.
But it'll be fun to practice together and obviously answer any questions that they have.
Q. This is obviously the first LIV Golf event in Spain; how do you feel with obviously LIV Golf expanding into new destinations, so it's the first one in Singapore this week, and bringing the best players in the world to these different parts of the world?
SERGIO GARCIA: I think it's great. I think it's something that it's amazing for the game. To make it as global as possible, that's always the goal that we have, make our game as big and as worldwide as you can. LIV obviously has taken a good opportunity of doing that, and they should be very proud of that.
Q. Spain obviously is big for team sports and obviously a big football nation. Do you think the team element of LIV will be popular there amongst Spanish fans?
SERGIO GARCIA: I'm sure. I'm sure it will be. I think it already is. I don't see why that would change at all. I think that we all love team events and team competition, and I think -- I'm a huge sports for me, so for me, it's always easier to relate to a team, even though you have your two or three different favorite players, you always relate to a team much easier than you would relate to an individual.
Q. Just non-golf, your favorite thing about being back in Spain, and what can the other players who have probably never been there before, what can they expect?
SERGIO GARCIA: Well, I think it's quite simple. I think Spain is going to bring a lot of excitement, a lot of great people, great food, an amazing golf course, good weather hopefully. It's usually great there.
I think it's going to be very, very exciting to see everyone there, and hopefully they all have a great time.
