Sergio Garcia, Who Ignited an Outrage With His Insensitive Comments About Tiger Woods, Was Once Given the Cold Shoulder by the 82-Time PGA Tour Winner

Former No.1 Tiger Woods and Mercedes Championships winner Sergio Garcia has been in the news together for the long feud between them. It all took a new turn with a comment made by Sergio on Woods, which was not tasteful.

Woods is a legend, and he gave the best reaction to his comment and stole all the limelight. Let’s see what happened.

Reaction by Tiger Woods

The first time the legend, Tiger Woods and Spanish golfer, Sergio Garcia, competed against each other was at the 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah Country Club. Woods won the championship, leaving Sergio with a long face. They were allowed to play together in the final group at TPC Sawgrass. Garcia redeemed. And from here, their competitive streak started.

The competition was getting fierce, and at the moment, Sergio made a negative comment about Woods, which did not turn out to be good. After the statement in 2013, Woods attended a press conference on the PGA Tour. One reporter asked him if he would call Sergio one day and ask him to finish this feud. Woods gave an icy and blunt reply. He said, “No.” Just one word and nothing else. This meant that Woods was not happy about the comment, and he did not forgive Sergio about it.

The comment by Sergio Garcia that irked Woods

In 2013, Sergio was asked about Woods during the European Tour’s gala players’ awards dinner. According to the Guardian, the interviewer asked him if he would have Woods for dinner during the upcoming US Open. They considered his reply as racist. Sergio said, “We will have him round every night. We will serve fried chicken.” Even though the comment was in jest, they did not accept it in a good way.

After Sergio’s comment, Tiger Woods went on Twitter and said that the statement was hurtful, disrespectful, and wrong. And this was the reason for Woods giving the cold shoulder to the question about Sergio.
