‘Looking Like Ronald McDonald’: Sergio Garcia’s Silly Masters Fit Leaves the Golf World Amused

Sergio Garcia surely knows how to make a statement. Even though the first day of the event had him hanging at T32, after the first round was suspended due to harsh weather and unimpeded darkness, his outfit is what made him look even more unique than his conditions!

The Spaniard was seen in the signature Masters colors of green and yellow. While his shirt was full of glowy green, his pants were a strong shade of bright yellow. He completed his calculated look by accessorizing with a green belt, white gloves, a white hat, and white shoes.

Posting the outfit of the day, Garcia wrote, “I personally think my day 1 outfit was Fuego.” ‘Fuego’ is Spanish for ‘fire’ or ‘excellent’. A proud 44-year-old Garcia was seen showcasing his love for the Masters through his attire, which got him through the first day of his 25th appearance with a score of 72.

The 2017 Masters winner twinned in this conversation-striking piece alongside wife, Angela Akins, who was a former Golf Channel reporter. Garcia is famous for his unique set of color choices. Even though his outfit got a mixed verdict from fans, it surely started a lot of healthy Masters conversation!

Fans react to Sergio Garcia’s bright look

The Spaniard’s attempts did not go unnoticed. A fan quickly remarked upon the interesting interplay of the Masters’ colors. They wrote, “I liked the Masters’ theme.” This clever attempt at acknowledging the efforts of the currently struggling player will surely give him the correct dosage of motivation before stepping into Round 2 on Friday.

Another fan added, “Looked better than your play.” This compliment was also wielded as sarcastic wordplay, where despite having complimented Garcia for his efforts in his style, even his well-wishers were not all so thrilled with his 0n-course performance, which made him lose hold of the top few positions after he bogeyed three times and double-bogeyed once after the end of Day 1.

His experimental, full-of-meaning, and joyful outfit has led to a rise in intrigue among fans regarding what looks like he has planned for the upcoming days. A fan wrote, “Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for tomorrow!!!” Not only has this  “fuego“-inspired outfit added curiosity, but it has also led many heads to turn around and question the golf world sensation about his upcoming plans.

But not everyone was a firm believer in his unique style. A netizen wrote, “If Fuego is Spanish for terrible, I agree!” thus expressing his personal dismissal of his style. There was a fair share of trolls online who called the style “terrible“, but the LIV Golfer chose to persevere through the online trolling.

Yet another X user remarked, “looking like Ronald McDonald.” This was possibly due to the seemingly uncanny appearance of the clown Ronald McDonald of McDonald’s and the bright and vibrant undertones of Garcia’s Master-themed outfit. It is still to be seen what new outfit choices will help him succeed on the Augusta greens!
