I actually was a fan and was disappointed with his behaviour in the bunker, but this is the last straw. He needs to look in the mirror and give himself an uppercut.

Hasn't Sergio ran out of excuses and opportunities by now?  He needs to just go away at this point!

Ban tiger and others for their cursing, Rory for his club throwing, , rahm for slamming his club and Bryson for doing something similar to Sergio here.  Players emotions get the best of them at times and no one is perfect.

we see similar actions in other sports but no one talk about banning guys for repetitive abuses against the water voolets or throwing g their helmets or breaking bats across the knee.

im sure everyone has done things they regret doing during the heat of the moment. 

i don’t condone what he or others have done but to be be for banning or having guys disappear for their actions is a little overboard

Certainly not what should be done, but this is not nearly as bad as the alleged greens incident earlier this year.  I'm not sure how bad it actually was as it seems no one had coverage on it, but from the report it was terrible.

Eh... I don't have a problem really with Garcia hacking the tee box. Not a great move on his part but not the end of the world either. I've seen it before from others both pro and amateurs. I've done it myself. I'd wager if a camera were on every single player all the time we'd probably witness more of this more often.  As for the club throwing at his caddie.... I couldn't tell from the video.

I'm moving on and so will ole Sergio and the sports media.

Why should it be? They are athletes playing a sport. Everyone knocks golf for being old and stuffy and they need to change and be more welcoming yet the pro golfers need to be held to a higher standard than other sports.

humans will be humans and emotions cause us to do things in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately these ones are making their living on full display.

Golf is built around honor, honesty and integrity.  

"Integrity requires players to adhere to a set of standards upon which their behavior will be judged - a sense of personal honesty.  Players who live with integrity know the rules of golf and embrace the etiquette of the game.  They hold relationships in high regard and maintain their composure even when they think no one is looking."  ~The First Tee~

If Sergio wants to hit himself with a golf club, fine.  But damaging the course and throwing clubs at his caddie should never be excused or tolerated.  I'm not perfect and certainly not a moralist.  I don't have to be to know right from wrong and admit my mistakes and shortcomings.  Something Sergio has never been willing to do!

If he wants to break a club over his leg or his head, go ahead... if he wants to curse, go ahead...

I just don't agree with throwing a club at another person or damaging the course where other people also need to play.

I’m not saying Sergio is right or any other player for doing that but for anyone who isn’t perfect to  say someone needs to disappear or be banned is asinine. A fine from the tour would be proper punishment or maybe the tours institute a rule for a penalty of a stroke like in tennis.

Asinine means "extremely stupid or foolish."  Is it really extremely stupid or foolish for me to wish for his antics to stop?  If so, it's a badge I will wear with honor given the circumstance!

I will give credit where credit is due, however.  This season alone, Sergio has provided me with ample teachable moments for my daughter!

I genuinely believed fatherhood was going to help the Spaniard reign in his fiery antics. Sadly, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

WGC governing body: I’m afraid that’ll be a fine, Serg

Sergio: Fine by me

I expect better behavior from anyone whose 1st tee announcement includes “Masters Champion”.

Yeah the video isn't exactly high quality. Took multiple views to see what happened. He drags the club along the teebox with his left hand and flips it up and one arms it over his right shoulder towards his caddie.

Eh... I don't have a problem really with Garcia hacking the tee box. Not a great move on his part but not the end of the world either. I've seen it before from others both pro and amateurs.

No high horse here. Everyone acting like they are better than Sergio or others. It’s ok to criticize but to say some one should be banned or disappear is getting on a high horse.

In recent years this has largely become what he's best known for - which is really sad considering his amazing career.  I still enjoy seeing him on the tour and hope he has a few more wins left.

Tiger has been know to slam a club or two over the years, curse within microphone range, spit frequently during a round.  Does anyone remember him for that?

i thing Sergio while it may get mentioned he had a temper, his constant regripping for early part of his career. Many will remember his shot from the tree that he chased after down the fairway and jumping to see the results, his masters win and a relatively successful career on euro and pga tour.

those who will remember the bad stuff do do because they want to see their non favorites fail. There’s guys I don’t like but cheering for and dont see any reason to wish them to play bad, not win, etc.

I have liked Sergio since my former boss/neighbor beat him in the 1998 US Amateur Semi-Final.  Mr. McKnight also beat David Duval and Stewart Sink in matchplay that year before losing to Hank Kuehne in the Finals.  You can read about that here.

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-aug-30-sp-18078-story.html

https://www.apnews.com/d29cf23911e527068bdc9803c669f292

My issue with Sergio is cumulative.  His antics have been going on for nearly two decades from the "fried chicken" comment to spitting in the cup to taking a chunk out of a green during competition to blaming the media for painting a picture of the petulant child he tends to be.  I rooted for him for years because I witnessed my friend carry his dad's bag at the US Amateur against Sergio as well as the 1999 Masters.

If golf makes Sergio as unhappy as he appears to be, stop playing!
