Sergio was just caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. Pretty much all guys on the PGA tour spit. Sergio just happened to while on live tv. One example of players the spit is Mr. Tiger Woods

Sergio has some mental issues. Obviously, when he was a child he demanded and got a lot of attention. Now that he's out there with the bid dogs it's not the same. You can't take away his golfing skills, but his social skills detract from the world class golfer he aspires to be. This is just another ploy of getting attention. Unfortunately, it's not the kind of attention he needs but I don't think he realizes that. He just wants attention.

I agree that Sergio's conduct was not only inappropriate, but indefensible as well. But I must say, I had the pleasure of seeing the good side of him too.
I was a marashll at the U.S. Open in 2002 at Bethpage Black and had the job of keeping the handicapped seating area clear near the 18th green. During the conclusion of Wednesday's practice round, one of the patrons, a wheelchair-bound man, asked me if I would obtain Sergio's autograph for him as he exited the green. I agreed and approached Sergio. When I told him my request and who it was for he said, "where is he? I would be happy to meet him." Whereupon I boosted Sergio up on to the platform that accomodated wheelchair spectating and he spent several minutes with this young man and even had pictures taken with him and his family. This was all out of earshot or eyesite of the media and done purely out of the goodness of his heart.
Thus, when I see Sergio do something foolish like he did on Saturday at Doral, I temper my reaction with a fond remembrance of a really good guy and gracious pro golfer.

It's very sad, actually. Golf is a game that has etiquette and sportsmanship literally written into the rules, and this kind of conduct is unacceptable. It's bad enough that it makes Sergio look like an idiot, but it's not fair to the players behind him on the course who will have the pleasure of dropping their ball into the hole where he spat. None of us who play are perfectly behaved, but this is a big show of disrespect to the other players around him.

Here's the real problem with "The Yellow Submarine" as per the outfit he wore during the last round of the British Open last year- he chokes in the clutch, and has not really earned his keep in golf's elite. Maybe one day he'll win a major- I don't think you can bank on it though. He might win a lot of meaningless Ryder Cup matches, at least we in the US think they're meaningless, but put him in the big spot and it's one hand on his neck golf.

There are only two players I hate in the tour.
Vijay Singh and Sergio Garcia. I hope they move to San Francisco and get married to eachother.

He spit in the cup after missing his putt!!!!......WTF!! That is just as classless as it gets! I have NEVER liked Sergio EVER! and I never will!
How does a person get to that level of golf with behavior like that? He should be kick'd off the tour!

I still hate him from his waggling days. The dude took at least 1 minute while in his stance to hit the dang ball.

Just imagine fishing your ball out of the cup after some wingnut spit in it. What a jerk.
