Fans call for Sergio Garcia to be banned from Augusta National after what he did at The Masters

But he is toying dangerously with that privilege after his actions during his final round of this year’s Masters. After hitting a drive that leaked slightly out to the right, Garcia took his frustrations out on the tee box in an unacceptable manner.
He slammed his driver onto the ground twice, tearing up the perfectly manicured surface, before turning around and smashing the clubhead against the water cooler next to the tee box. Garcia, known for his fiery personality, crossed the line with this terrible etiquette, and fans have called for his invitation to be rescinded going forward.

One fan joked: “Fred Ridley going to be waiting for him in the champions locker room with some goons and a black bag. ” Fans took to X to express their anger, saying, “Rescind his invitation. I thought he was on the senior tour anyway.
The Masters doesn’t need him. ” Garcia, 45, plays on LIV Golf, but has been uncompetitive at the top level for a number of years. That fan wasn’t the only one who wanted to see Garcia banned: “Strip his jacket and throw that fraud in the street.
” Some wanted a punishment that was slightly less harsh: “Deserved a fine, at minimum. Past champion with lack of class. ” Robert MacIntyre received a reprimand for showing the middle finger on the course, so you’d have to imagine the punishment for this would be much more severe.
