‘Turned Legacy Into a Circus Act’: Sergio Garcia Becomes a Scapegoat of Fans After His Attempt to Be Hilarious Goes Wrong

LIV Golf just wrapped up one of its biggest events of the year. The LIV Golf Team Championship saw Bryson DeChambeau‘s team lift the trophy and take home a whopping 14 million prize money. Sergio Garcia‘s team met their end in the competition after losing to the RangeGoats GC during the semifinals.

The results of this year’s team championship in Miami may not have been of Garcia’s liking, but it looks like the Fireball GC Captain is eyeing next year’s trophy and is gearing up in quite a fiery fashion.

The short video got a mixed set of reactions. Some enjoyed the little stunt and others chose to leave some cold comments on the post. It looks like the light-hearted video was not warm enough for a few netizens.
