It didn’t take long for Garcia to lose his temper – and his driver – on Sunday at Royal Portrush.
www.golfchannel.comHere’s the latest on Sergio Garcia breaking a driver:
-
Latest incidents: Garcia broke his driver in frustration on the second hole during The Masters at Augusta in April 2026, earning a code-of-conduct warning from Masters officials. This followed prior on-course breakages, including a high-profile incident at The Open in 2025 where his driver snapped on the second hole at Royal Portrush. The 2026 Masters event drew widespread attention with clips circulating on social media.[2][4][6]
-
Context for fans and impact: The Masters warning was notable as the first code-of-conduct action of its kind at the event, highlighting heightened scrutiny of behavior in major championships. In prior majors, Garcia has continued to perform despite club breakages, using his remaining clubs to complete rounds, including a sub-70 finish at The Open in 2025 after breaking a driver earlier in the round.[5][6][2]

Where to follow for updates: For ongoing coverage, look to major golf outlets and tournament recaps from The Masters and The Open, as well as official PGA/European Tour LIV coverage feeds, which typically post after-round analyses and any disciplinary notes.[1][2]
