Garcia cleared after surgery

London - Former world No 2 Sergio Garcia will make his comeback after eye surgery in the European Tour's season-ending Dubai World Championship next month.

The 32-year-old Spaniard, who has not played since Europe's Ryder Cup victory over the United States in Chicago four weeks ago, had an operation this month to correct an astigmatism.

"I had the surgery but everything went very well," Garcia said in a news release on Monday.

"I will have three tournaments towards the end of the year. I hope I can play good, finish on a high note and get ready for next year."

Garcia, now ranked 21st in the world, will compete in Dubai from November 22-25 before heading off to the Asia Tour in December to play in the Thailand Golf Championship and the Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia.
