Fans want golfer banned from the Masters for life after embarrassing incident at Augusta

Sergio Garcia had an almighty meltdown after his disappointing drive and he took his anger out instantly.

Sergio Garcia had an almighty meltdown in the fourth and final round of the Masters and the tee box paid the price.

The Spaniard, who won the coveted green jacket back in 2017, made the cut but cut a frustrated and angry figure in the early stages of the fourth round.

Playing alongside John Rahm, the LIV golfer produced a poor drive and lost his head before the ball had even stopped being in flight.

Live on broadcasting feeds, Garcia responded by taking a chunk out of the second tee box at Augusta National.

That wasn't enough for Garcia to let out his anger and he then proceeded to smash his driver into a nearby cooler, breaking the head of the club in the process.

Videos soon circulated online of Garcia's antics, with fans so furious by his behaviour that they called for him to be banned from the iconic competition.

One fan on X wrote: "Sergio Garcia should be banned for life from Augusta National. What an ass."

A second agreed: "Sergio Garcia needs to be banned from Augusta National for life."

A third weighed in, commenting: "Why not just not allow him to play next year? That would take care of the issue permanently."

A fourth wrote: "Do something about Sergio Garcia. 1 year ban. This is ridiculous."

Garcia is no stranger to meltdowns and back in 2019, at the Saudi International, he damaged a number of greens and was disqualified from the tournament for “serious misconduct”.

There is no word on whether he will face any punishment for his latest antics. Garcia is currently 52nd in the leaderboard, which is jointly led by last year's winner Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young.
