Sergio Garcia, statements

«I want to apologize for my actions on Sunday at the Masters. I respect and value everything that the Masters and the Augusta Golf Club represent for golf. I regret how I acted; it has no place in our sport,» he wrote.

On the fourth day of the Masters, specifically on the 2nd hole, Garcia slammed his driver against a cooler in frustration after sending his ball into the bunker. Geoff Yang, chairman of the tournament committee, approached him to speak two holes later.

«It does not reflect the respect and appreciation I have for the Masters, the tournament officials, and golf fans around the world,» Garcia added in his statement regarding his behavior. The Spaniard finished the fourth round with a three-over-par 75 for a total of 296 strokes, eight over par.

On Sunday, speaking to the media, he expressed his frustration. «It’s not something to be very proud of, but these things happen sometimes. It is what it is. You have to deal with it.» This Tuesday, however, he chose to apologize.

The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respecting the rules is a fundamental element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the failure of many players to comply with the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the game with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
