The fiery Spaniard Sergio Garcia, who is known for his dramatic flair, arrives at Augusta National to try his luck at the Masters Tournament once more. The 2017 winner, whose stunning playoff victory over Justin Rose will always live on in Masters legend, hasn’t exactly been able to recreate the same magic in recent years. Although he has demonstrated genuine talent in moments of brilliance, such as his near-ace at the Phoenix Open this year, consistency has proven to be elusive.

With a fire in his belly, he heads to Augusta, a course that rewards imagination and shot-making talent. Beyond his pursuit of a green jacket, however, Garcia provided some insightful commentary on some of the most pressing problems confronting professional golfers today. These problems go beyond individual achievement and have the potential to drastically alter the game’s environment.

Sergio Garcia believes in the future

The audacious claim made by Sergio Garcia, “We’re not the future of the game,” may surprise a lot of golfers. In his opinion, the professional game is in a “perfect spot,” even with the perceived division brought about by the media. “The professional game, maybe it’s a little more separated, mostly because of the media, not so much because of the players,” Garcia says.

Garcia believes that young, aspiring players who watch and are inspired by the existing stars will be golf’s actual future, not the current generation of professionals. “The future of the game is those kids that are watching us play, that want to get into the game, that want to play and then maybe become professionals,” he states. This change emphasizes how critical it is to develop the next generation of golfers, as they will ultimately determine the future of the game.

Although “the more togetherness that you get, the better it is for everyone,” Garcia admits that there is “room for everyone” in the golfing community. He compares golf’s ability to flourish with several factions to his passion for watching various soccer leagues, arguing that as long as everyone is committed to giving it their all, the game can succeed.

Despite all the talk about the future, one question remains: will the golfer be able to bag the green jacket this time?

How will Garcia perform at the Masters

It’s difficult to predict Sergio Garcia’s performance at the Masters. Although the Spaniard is the proud owner of the coveted green jacket from his 2017 triumph, it might be difficult to duplicate that winning combination. The design of Augusta National appears to be ideal for Garcia’s style of play. Garcia has traditionally dominated in the areas of creativity and shot-making, which are rewarded on this course. His ability to navigate the challenging winds and shape shots around doglegs might be a big benefit.

Concerns are raised, though, by recent inconsistencies. Garcia hasn’t exactly been able to reliably put together four strong rounds. Though he occasionally displays genius, such as his near-ace against Phoenix this year, these incidents haven’t resulted in long-term success.

The weight of a significant title, particularly one he has already won, can be debilitating. Garcia will have to control his feelings and resist living in the past when it comes to his victory in 2017. The stage is full of champions, and fate and the challenging greens of Augusta will decide the outcome.
