LIV Golf defector Sergio Garcia has been slammed after withdrawing from the BMW PGA Championship before appearing at a college football game in Texas. Garcia was one of 18 LIV players making a controversial return to the DP World Tour.
The Spaniard competed in Thursday’s opening round, but failed to stamp his authority on the leaderboard after shooting a disappointing four-over-par 76. Play was then suspended on Friday due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, but ahead of resumption on Saturday Garcia withdrew from the event.
No clear reason from either the 2017 Masters champion or the DP World Tour was given for his weekend absence, and just a day later he was seen enjoying himself in Texas.
