Sergio Garcia says it was Rory McIlroy’s lack of “maturity” that brought a “sad” end to the once close friendship between the two golf stars.
McIlroy, who was a groomsman at Garcia’s 2017 wedding, and the Spaniard have been at odds since last summer when the two had a testy text exchange during the U.S. Open over LIV Golf, the controversial Saudi-backed circuit that McIlroy has been outspoken against and Garcia split for last year.
Earlier this year, McIlroy said simply there was “no way” he would rekindle his friendship with Garcia after the Spaniard told him in the aforementioned text messages to “shut up” about LIV. “They say that Greg Norman has to go; and Monahan has to stay or go?” Garcia said. “It’s very easy to say those on the other side have to go. And those on your side? There are also people who have done things wrong.”Rory McIlroy, left, talks with Sergio Garcia, right, and Garcia’s wife Angela Akins at a dinner before the Nedbank Golf Challenge in 2018.
