AUGUSTA (Ga.) – This week’s 2023 Masters featured major stories: Scottie Scheffler’s defense of the title, Rory McIlroy trying to win the career grand slam and Tiger Woods’ return.
Can you guess the one Sergio Garcia is bored of talking about?
Garcia jokingly answered a reporter when he was asked how it felt to return to Augusta National Golf Club. This question had nothing to do with the Greg Norman-led circuit that is being bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

"Totally normal. It's time to put an end to it. Garcia said that you guys are making a big deal of this and it's all you guys." Garcia suggested that only the media is pushing the narrative about LIV Golf being divided into PGA and DP World tours, and ignoring ongoing lawsuits on both sides.
When a reporter asked him if it was, he replied "Yes, it's." "I have had nothing but great experiences from every single player that I've spoken to. Please, stop talking about the Masters.
Garcia, the 2017 Masters winner, was then asked about the decision of Sports Resolutions, an independent United Kingdom panel that ruled in favor DP World Tour's ability fine or suspend LIV players who participated in conflicting events, without permission. Garcia, who has won 11 PGA Tour events and 16 DP World Tour events respectively, said he was unaware of the decision. Although he was one of the participants in the case, Garcia, 43 years old, has since withdrawn his name.
"How can you talk about something that I don't understand?" Evidently, I don’t watch the news. Garcia stated that Garcia doesn't know the details of what occurred. Garcia said, "I don't want to talk about anything without all of the information I need."
Garcia said that he would consider playing in future DP World Tour events, if given the chance.
He said, "We'll be watching." "We'll watch how the year goes."
Patrick Reed is not afraid to confront others, but when asked about his off-course experiences with LIV, the 2018 Masters champion was not defensive. He specifically mentioned the idea that they would be less competitive if they played in a league that is less competitive (Cameron Smith's words). He actually laughs at it.
He said, "Last I checked, I was the one with the green jacket."
