Golf is generally considered a relaxed sport, except for professionals who are under more pressure. However, even pros sometimes want to let loose and have some fun, as demonstrated by an incident that occurred during Saturday’s LIV Golf event, which was caught on live television by best selling author Matt McCarthy. While a LIV Golf player was preparing to tee off, someone ran across the screen and appeared to urinate in the bushes. It turned out to be pro golfer Sergio Garcia, who has been a familiar face on the PGA Tour for years before joining LIF Golf.
If Garcia had run just a few feet further away from the camera, his actions would have gone unnoticed, but as it is, it looks like he was urinating in the middle of a LIV Golf event. This is a relatable situation for many golfers, but it’s not something that is usually televised or done at a professional level.
Despite the seriousness of professional golf, this incident adds some humor to the sport and could be a strong contender for blooper of the year. It’s surprising that ESPN did not include this in their “Not Top-10” segment. Naturally, golf fans have made jokes about the situation.
Perhaps Sergio Garcia’s actions were just his way of marking his territory on the golf course! Either way, it’s safe to say that this incident has left a lasting impression on the LIV Golf event, and it’ll be hard for anyone to forget the time when a pro golfer was caught on camera peeing in the bushes. Let’s hope Garcia can still make a splash on the golf course with his skills, and not just with his bodily fluids.
