Sergio Garcia and his feud with Tiger Woods
The mutual disdain that the two hold for each other has a long history. What seemed to have started as playful banter soon led to bruised egos. Gradually, it has erupted into one of the sourest relationships in golf and there seems to be no going back for the two legends.
The seeds to this tussle were sown at the 1999 PGA Championship in Medinah, where Tiger Woods won by a one-stroke margin over Garcia. The two rising stars went head-to-head a couple of more times, and that’s when the fight really began.

In some recent comments that have surfaced from 2013, Garcia says, “I am not going to lie, he is not my favorite golfer to play with. Tiger is not the nicest guy on tour.”
“He called me a whiner. That’s probably right,” Woods said in response. “It’s also probably the first thing he’s told you guys that’s true in 15 years. I know what he is like. You guys are finding out.”
