What's Sergios beef ?

Wftablueboy · 21-05-2013 01:50PM #1

What's his problem with Tiger ? Just listened to him again on Sky saying nobody likes Tiger and I'm the only one with balls to come out and say it ..... I used to like him but recently he's become a moaner , why can't he just concentrate on his own game . If he wanted to stick it up to Tiger he only had to par 17 and 18 in sawgrass , but he gulped.....

Keano · 21-05-2013 01:59PM

He just doesn't like him. He's honest about it!

DuckSlice · 21-05-2013 02:02PM

It all started where they were in a one on one sponsors tournament and Sergio bet him and celebrated enthusiastically in front of tiger, tiger didn't like being made a show of! And Sergio has always been a moaner, he is a bottler aswell, I used to like him but not anymore!

Yeah I always had a soft spot for Sergio but once he came out and said he'd never win a major I knew his bottle was gone and that made me lose a lot of respect for him.
It comes across as though he's jealous of what Tiger has achieved and feels he should have had more of the spotlight.
He's never lived up to the potential he had when he burst onto the scene bar a few Ryder Cup rounds

I've no problem with him not liking him , he told the world that 2 weeks ago , but why is he coming out again today and saying its not just me that dosent like him there are lots that don't like him?

Think it's probably just that he thinks Tiger is a bit of knob. He was asked about it & answered the question honestly

Check the press conference - interesting quote:

"He called me a whiner. He's probably right," Garcia said Monday at Wentworth, England, at the start of the week of the BMW PGA Championship. "But that's also probably the first thing he's told you guys that's true in 15 years. I know what he's like. You guys are finding out."

@extp - you used to like him but now you really don't like him because he's a bottler????? When did that change?

RikkFlair · 21-05-2013 02:45PM

He has mental scar tissue since Harrington beat him at the Open (and USPGA). It's all Paddys fault!:pac:

He was asked about again and told the truth. Ya he is moaner but I'd prefer to play a round with him than Tiger. Never liked Tiger and never will.

DuckSlice · 21-05-2013 02:59PM

Tiger and bubba are probably my favourite golfers! I think sergios problem is they both came on the scene at the same time both with massive potential, and tiger showed his potential and Sergio was in his shadow! He couldn't even win last weekend never mind a major!! Lovely swing tho!

FixdePitchmark · 21-05-2013 07:36PM

Besides his golf Tiger not the best bloke in the world.

A bit sickening watching all the pros bow down to him. Now coming from Sergio a bit rich. Two of them in it.

If I had the choice of one round with either, it would have to be Sergio.

TW is the better golfer, but the lesser man.

Ernest Oreo · 21-05-2013 10:40PM

Sergio is golfs biggest loser - hard to argue with that

attention seeker too
quite sad

ForeRight · 22-05-2013 08:45AM

Sergio apologises for what could be construed as a racist remark against tiger!!!!

When asked would he have tiger around for dinner sone night he replied "I'd have him around any night, we can make fried chicken"

I doubt he meant to be racist obviously but we all know fried chicken is what is associated with what black people in the states eat.

This is what happens when you talk too much Sergio. Eventually your mouth gets you in trouble!

Wftablueboy · 22-05-2013 08:48AM

Looks like I got my foodstuffs wrong in the title of my thread , it should have been fried chicken according to Sergio ..... That man is just digging a hole deeper and deeper

It was probably a reference to the main course that Fuzzy Zoeller said Tiger would choose for his Champions Dinner at Augusta National.
**** storm ensued, followed by Zoeller apologising.

So this might be Sergio saying that Tiger can whine too !

Russman · 22-05-2013 10:36AM

What are the chances the Green Jackets have a bit of fun and Tiger and Sergio are "drawn" together for the first two rounds of next year's Masters ?

Jazzzman · 22-05-2013 11:38AM

Sergio has come out of the recent spat looking and sounding like a complete idiot.

You don't like the guy, we get it Sergio. How many times does he need to tell us?

Apparently, as many times as he's asked.
(By lazy journalists seeking an easy story).

Woods is a knob. Sergio is a moaner.

Aidric · 22-05-2013 12:17PM

Dumb comments, even more so as there was a precedent for it.

Can't see them sharing a family bucket anytime soon.

i agree with you on sergio but not on Woods, the woods we see is focused on the job, nothing breaks his focus and thats why he comes across as a bo***cks and never smiling!.

Mr. Larson · 22-05-2013 12:24PM

Sergio has a nasty element to him> so does the other fella in my opinion. That's probably why they don't get on.

My only reference point for judging Garcia's personality is Harrington. He doesn't really like Padraig either and makes no secret of it. Now, Paddy is as quirky as a box of frogs but I can't imagine him being rude or obnoxious, so Sergio's dislike of Paddy (when he was winning majors) told me all I needed to know about Sergio.

If anything, his recent spat with Mr. Woods has redeemed him somewhat in my book

Russman · 22-05-2013 12:25PM

And smiling breaks your focus ?

& what about all the f-bombs and hockering all over the place?? He's a scumbag.

Weren't Sergio and Paddy friends though and at Carnoustie the story goes that Sergio said hello to him as they passed each other on a bridge over the burn and Paddy blanked him and Garcia, stupidly, got his knickers in a twist over that ?

Don't think he is just coming out and commenting on their relationship but it's the press lingering on the story trying to blow the whole thing out of proportion to sell newspapers .As Sergio said we just don't get on ,thats the way it is so lets move on.Don't think the press will though.They will keep trying to dig the heels in with this one.

Could be so. I dunno. I guess the point I was trying to make is that it seems to be easy enough to get on the wrong side of him. Being competitive doesn't excuse you from being a dick, so Paddy shouldn't have deliberately ignored a greeting.

Russman · 22-05-2013 12:37PM

He does seem easily upset in fairness. The oul latin temper

soundsham · 22-05-2013 12:41PM

While I wouldn't be a fan of either and I don't see them as great role models on or off the course
I'd have more admiration for tiger and his achievements in golf alone

On course they both have had their tantrums spitting etc but one is a proven winner on the big stage while the other was once top dog at Adidas and a potential challenger to tiger but has now become a bit of under achieving moaning self pitying biaatch

If they both stopped golfing tomorrow I'd imagine Sergio would be long forgotten before tiger

What's Sergios beef ?
