LOS ANGELES – As he gets set to make his first PGA Tour start in nearly six months, Sergio Garcia offered an additional apology via social media for his on-course outburst earlier this month in Saudi Arabia.
Garcia has not played since being disqualified from the inaugural Saudi International, where he was cited for “serious misconduct” after reportedly damaging greens on purpose during the third round. While Garcia admitted to damaging a “couple” greens in an apology statement, subsequent reports indicated that the Spaniard damaged up to five putting surfaces.
Video also later surfaced showing Garcia lashing out angrily in a bunker during the second round, one day before his disqualification.
