Sergio Garcia damaged the turf on the second tee during the final round of the Masters, then followed that by breaking his driver after an errant shot.
The LIV Golf member and 2017 Masters champion made the cut this week at Augusta National, although began the day 16 shots behind co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young. His fortunes did not improve early in the final round, bogeying the first hole before spraying his drive right at the second. The ball was still in flight when the Spaniard angrily took two swipes at the turf, taking chunks out of the teeing ground in the process.

Garcia then walked towards a cooler right of the tee and swung his driver at it, snapping the head off his club:
He was reportedly handed an official code of conduct warning by Masters competition committee member Geoff Yang.
The incident is the latest in a career of behaviour issues for Garcia, who was disqualified at the 2019 Saudi International for “serious misconduct” after purposefully damaging several greens the day after having a meltdown in a bunker. Three years later, Garcia signed with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league… weeks after throwing a temper tantrum at a rules official at a PGA Tour event.
Garcia is in the field thanks to winning the 2017 Masters. However, he has been irrelevant on the major stages since capturing the green jacket, failing to post a single top-10.
