Q: What was the reaction to Sergio Garcia's outburst at the Masters?

Garcia's outburst was widely criticized, leading him to issue a public apology on social media two days later.

It took two days, but Sergio Garcia has posted an apology on social media for his outburst on Sunday during the final round of the 2026 Masters. Garcia lost his cool on the No. 2 tee box at Augusta National Golf Club and slammed his club on the ground, twice, breaking the driver head. It was a bad look for the 2017 green jacket winner and was resoundingly criticized.

"Just obviously not super proud of it, but sometimes it happens," Garcia said after his round while talking to the press. The words "apology" and "sorry" weren't uttered during his post-round interview session at Augusta. On Tuesday, Garcia struck a more remorseful tone.

Doug Ferguson with the Associated Press reported that Geoff Yang, who is a part of the ANGC competition committee, spoke with Garcia on the fourth tee and gave him a code of conduct warning. Garcia didn't want to answer any questions about that meeting, saying, "Next question, please," when asked specifically about the reported discussion on the fourth tee.
