Sergio Garcia Apologizes for Tantrum at the Masters: "I Regret the Way I Acted"
Garcia said he regretted the outburst as Masters officials issued a code-of-conduct warning and critics called for harsher punishment.
- On Tuesday, 2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia apologized for his conduct during Sunday's final round, when he tore up turf and broke his driver after a poor tee shot on the second hole.
- Masters competition committee chairman Geoff Yang issued a code-of-conduct warning to Garcia on the fourth tee, marking the first such disciplinary action in the tournament's 90-year history.
- Garcia's on-course behavior has drawn scrutiny for years, including a 2019 disqualification at the Saudi International for damaging greens and a snapped driver at the British Open last July.
- Fans flooded social media demanding consequences, with some calling for a lifetime ban from Augusta National Golf Club due to Garcia's recent display of disrespect toward the course.
- The PGA Championship plans to adopt this conduct policy next month at Aronimink Golf Club, following similar incidents involving players like Wyndham Clark who flung clubs during competition.
