Sergio Garcia has hit back at fellow Green Jacket winner Fred Couples after the American veteran called him a "clown" for the manner of his defection to LIV Golf.
The level of consternation within golf's ongoing civil war was emphasised last week when the usually mild-mannered former Masters champion Couples made some surprise shots at LIV rebels.
During a guest speech at a PGA Tour Champions event, Couples labelled Phil Mickelson a "nutbag" and referenced "all these other clowns, like Sergio”, who voiced their disdain for the PGA Tour before joining the contentious Saudi-funded LIV breakaway.
