Sergio Garcia has labelled Rory McIlroy immature and blamed his former Ryder Cup teammate for the public breakdown of their close friendship.
Garcia and McIlroy had formed a tight bond through their adventures in golf and even attended each other's weddings in recent years. But the emergence of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf breakaway has caused their relationship to collapse as the divide in golf's fierce civil war got personal.
Former Masters champion Garcia jumped ship for the Saudi millions last year as he became one of the first defectors to the contentious LIV venture fronted by firebrand Greg Norman.
