It is really hard for golfers to catch a break in between their back-to-back tournaments and their pretty hectic schedules. A little break has never hurt anyone and even golfers once in a while can use a little time to blow off some steam and just enjoy their break with their loved ones. If there is one golfer who knows how to enjoy his time off, it is Sergio Garcia.
The Spanish golfer is on a short break from the sport because of the scheduling of LIV Golf events, and he sure is making the most of it as he is trying out his hands in various other sports and activities.

LIV Golf’s last event was scheduled in middle of the August in Bedminster, New Jersey, and its next event will be taking place in Chicago from September 22 to September 24. After this break, the season’s end is almost near, as only a handful of LIV events will be left.
LIV golfers approximately got the 5 weeks off in between the Bedminster and Chicago events, and it seems Garcia made most of his. He recently shared a video on his Instagram wherein he shared glimpses of various activities he has been indulging in during the short break. The golfer often shares his unique family moments on social media where he shows his unseen side to the fans, and this time too was not different.
The video started with him playing a shot on the course and then he tried his hands out in tennis. He was on a court playing a good game of tennis and followed it up with a football game with his daughter. The golfer then cooked a delicious meal, and later hit the gym where he worked out. He then relaxed a little bit as he took a plunge in cold water in his bathtub. He captioned the video, “End of the season, off weeks in Austin. Guess the temp on this plunge…”
