Sergio Garcia has words for 'bitter' Rory McIlroy and LIV critic Fred Couples
LIV Golf player Sergio Garcia has responded to the comments made by Hall of Famer Fred Couples, who labelled the Spaniard 'a clown' in a recent interview.
Sergio Garcia says he 'doesn't have a problem with anybody' when he was pressed on the comments made by Fred Couples.
In case you missed it, Hall of Famer Couples took aim at a few LIV Golf League guys last week.
Couples was speaking before a PGA Tour Champions event when he labelled Garcia 'a clown', Cameron Smith 'comical' and Phil Mickelson 'a nutbag'.
Garcia was back in action with his Fireballs in Tucson last week and his side won the team element, splitting a $3m bonus prize.
As for Garcia, he also fared well on the course, finishing T-6 in the 48-man field for a $620,000 payday at The Gallery Golf Club in Tucson.
The Spaniard, 43, was also involved in this hilarious moment when he was caught taking a leak during the LIV broadcast.
Garcia was asked what he made of the comments made by Couples and Rory McIlroy, who famously labelled LIV 'dead in the water'.
Garcia told Sports Illustrated when asked about the comments made by Couples:
So Sergio, are Couples and McIlroy just bitter?
He said:
LIV's PGA Tour rival has moved in recent weeks to further counter the threat of the Saudi-backed golf league.
In 2024, it has been confirmed that some of their designated events will be without a cut. The fields will also be smaller.
Phil the Thrill has already pointed out the irony of this, saying how the changes that resemble LIV are 'comical' at this point.
Garcia was asked if some of the younger guys who 'don't make it' into the PGA's elevated events will flock to LIV.
He said:
The 2023 Masters is right around the corner.
Reigning champion Scottie Scheffler has picked his menu the likes of Mickelson and Tiger Woods will feast on at Augusta National.
Garcia was the latest player to be asked about any 'tension' between the players on both sides of the divide.
He said:
Ben joined the GolfMagic team in September 2021, initially as a content executive.
These days, he assumes the position of content manager.
