After opening the Masters with a 2-over 74, Sergio Garcia shot back at reporters who asked Thursday if this felt like a normal event with all that's going on away from the course.
Sergio Garcia walks to the 16th green during the second round of the LIV Golf Team Championship at Trump National Doral Golf Club, Oct. 29, 2022, in Doral, Fla. After opening the Masters with a 2-over 74, Garcia shot back at reporters who asked Thursday if this felt like a normal event with all that's going on away from the course.
Garcia, the 2017 Masters champion, was among 18 players from the Saudi-backed LIV tour taking part in the first major of the year, though the number quickly dropped to 17 when Kevin Na withdrew after playing only nine holes. The formation of a rival tour has led to court battles and harsh words from both sides, though there were no outward signs of hostility at Augusta National.
The PGA Tour also has suspended players who joined the rival tour without getting a waiver, though that doesn't apply to the four major championships."How can I talk about something I don't know?" he said. "Obviously I don't look at the news. So I don't know what happened. I'm not going to talk about something without all the information that I need."
