Sergio Garcia: Other People 'Probably' Deserved COVID-19 More Than Nick Watney

Nick Watney was forced to withdraw from the RBC Heritage after testing positive for COVID-19 on Friday.

In response to that news, Sergio Garcia offered the following comments, per Todd Kelly of Golfweek:

"Unfortunately, it had to happen to him. There's a lot of other people that probably deserved it a lot more than him, and he's the one that got it."

"Nick is unbelievable," he added. "He's a good friend. He was very worried about me. He sent me several texts. I talked to him. He must have said sorry to me probably 25 times.
