As the competition unfolds at Augusta National, each professional golfer is savoring the esteemed tournament in their own unique manner. Some enjoyed the Par-3 Contest with their family, and others took to the first round to dress the way their heart desired.  Despite the intense pressure of the competition, the small moments of enjoyment sure help the pros, and also give a little something to fans.

Similar sentiments are echoed by the Spaniard Sergio Garcia, who, before his round started, expressed his excitement on X. He shared a video with his wife, Angela Akins. The couple wore an attire, matching the proud colors of Augusta; green and yellow. The couple seemed to be bathing in the enthrallment of the Masters and shared a kiss.

The video was posted before the golfer teed off, but he soon made it to the course colored in Augusta colors and garnered a lot of attention. He started his round with three straight pars at the first three holes. Up until the Firethorn, the Spaniard was 2 over. But as the day ended, the golfer was at even par, thanks to 4 birdies, 2 bogies, and 1 double bogey at the 11th!

While the couple was observed relishing the moments of the first day, did fans experience similar enjoyment after seeing Garcia’s outfit? The answer to the question posed finds its way via the comment section of the post. Fans found the bold outfit choice to be hysteric and did not shy away from expressing their thoughts.

What are fans saying about Sergio Garcia and his wife’s attire?

Another fan didn’t explicitly mention the outfit but commented, “All that just to miss the cut.” The fan took a jab at the Spanish golfer and said that such excitement and outfit all to go in vain because he would end up missing the cut as he did in 2023.

One fan expressed their affection for the golfer, stating, “Love you man,” but in the same breath, they elaborated on the outfit, describing it as “horrific,” while including hashtags such as the Masters.

One fan outright labeled Garcia a “Clown.” Furthermore, while responding to this remark, another fan pointed out that the Spaniard is a Masters champion, yet the same fan reiterated, “still a clown.”

Another fan sarcastically remarked about other Spanish golfers as well, saying “Just like those Spaniards.” Perhaps indicating that other Spanish golfers also opt for similar attire choices, or just that the Spanish people like to wear bold colors!

One fan took it a step further by sarcastically noting that Garcia wasn’t playing at the Masters but “probably thought he was playing in the waste management tournament,” alluding to the color scheme of the attire. WM Phoenix Open is known to be an event that always turns into one big party, and maybe this outfit would have made more sense there!

What do you think will transpire for Sergio Garcia in the 88th Masters? Will he make bolder outfit choices in the days to come? or he will tone it down? Stay tuned to find out!
