In his statement, Garcia added that “the most exciting part for me is strengthening personal relationships, both new and old”.
Garcia was sanctioned by the DP World Tour for breaking its rules when he defected to LIV, making him ineligible for the 2023 Ryder Cup.
The event’s record points scorer had to settle outstanding fines – reported to be more than £1m – in order to be eligible for the 2025 edition, although ultimately he was not selected.
After helping Europe to six wins from 10 Ryder Cup appearances, he now hopes to return to their camp at Ireland’s Adare Manor next year as a player or vice-captain.
“Another goal is to make that Ryder Cup team, and to be an asset to the guys in whatever capacity that may be,” he said.
However, according to the current tour rules, while Garcia is eligible to play again, he cannot serve as a future captain or vice-captain.
Garcia may also face an awkward reunion with the PGA Tour.
Just before leaving for LIV in 2022, he told a rules official at the Wells Fargo Championship: “I can’t wait to leave this tour. A couple more weeks and I won’t have to deal with you any more.”
He has remained eligible to play in majors and after hitting a poor shot at this year’s Masters, Garcia slammed his driver into the Augusta turf and hit a nearby cooler, snapping the head off his club.
He apologised at the time and has now added: “There are some great tournaments around the world to play before Augusta next April, and I can’t wait to get back to the Masters.
“I left Augusta last year disappointed with myself and my actions, and I’m ready to show what I’ve learned and where I am mentally.
“Augusta has given me some of the greatest moments of my life, and I’d love nothing more than to chase another green jacket at such a special place.”
