Recently, the PGA Tour tweeted a video of Garcia playing golf at the Saudi-backed LIV league. The post made a bold remark about the golfer’s golfing skills off late. This struck a diverse conversation among fans.
Sergio Garcia and the green: nowhere close to one another anymore?
Recently, however, the PGA Tour posted a video of Garcia where he was seen missing the green. In the video, Sergio tried hitting the ball to the green, although, his attempts failed and he missed. The ball instead went straight into the grandstand.
The grandstands are put in place in order to provide a temporary immovable obstruction and thus grant players free relief. However, this grandstand did not prove to be a relief to Garcia. His miss was noticed and pointed out by his former ally and now opposition, The PGA Tour.

Then why wasn’t he hitting a 2 iron ?!? 😂

Sergio cannot focus on winning anymore. The youth and talent is a thing of the past. The incentive to earn a living is not there. He will only be an ambassador of LIV golf going forward ⛳️

@PGATOUR Cue the infamous “Garcia Meltdown” where he blames the Marshalls. the tour, the rules, the weather, the course, the layout, the clubs, the fans, the cameras, the trees, the bird chirping two counties away….for his errant shot.

Also, look how close the grandstand was to the green. The PGA setups don’t make those dumb mistakes.
