SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Spanish star Sergio Garcia makes his first visit to the Texas Open this week, having not played in the United States for a month.
After tying for 30th at the World Golf Championships-NEC Invitational in August, Garcia competed in Switzerland, then rested for two weeks.
This will be Garcia's 18th event of the year on the PGA Tour and he ranks a disappointing 101st on the money list.
David Toms also is part of the field that will attack LaCantera Golf Club. He won the Wachovia Championship in May and St. Jude Classic in June.
It is a critical time for players on the bubble of the top 125 in earnings, which gives playing privileges next season. Garrett Willis (125), Olin Brown (126), Jeff Brehaut (127) and Brian Gay (129) are among those competing this week.
