fantasy-api.cbssports.comHere are the latest updates on Sergio Garcia at The Masters:
- Garcia faced a high-profile outburst during the final round, tearing up turf and breaking his driver in frustration. He later apologized publicly for his actions, saying the incident does not reflect his respect for The Masters or Augusta National.[3][7]
- He opened the tournament strong with a bogey-free 63 in the first round but finished with less momentum, resulting in a top-10 finish not aligning with his best Masters history. He has historically struggled at Augusta since winning in 2017, including multiple missed cuts and lower finishes.[2][5]
- Reports and outlets noted he was blunt about the cause of his struggles—“Bad golf. Bad shots.”—and that the Masters outburst led to a conduct warning from tournament officials, followed by his public apology a couple of days later.[4][7]
