Sergio Garcia

Did you read the part where they acknowledged the rules were administered incorrectly leading him to not have a fair shot in locating his ball and resulting in a penalty?

Also, the hating Sergio schtick was old 10-12 years ago. Grow up baw.

Sergio Garcia was completely in the right to be upset over that incorrect ruling and I don't think it's written in stone anywhere that the PGA is the only entity allowed to have a tour.

I don't see a problem here

There is nothing to appeal, he did not play the original ball so nothing could be changed. Your attitude towards players being able to make their own decisions on where to tee it up is what should change.

If he had played the original ball there wouldn't have a penalty assessed. Your attitude towards knowing & understanding the rules of golf is what should change.

The rules were applied the way they should have AFTER the mistake from the referee. In this scenario, Garcia was forced to take a drop in error. After that mistake by the official, how do you allow a guy to take a drop with a much more beneficial lie, AND reduce his stroke on the hole in remediation. That would be disadvantageous to other players. This is where the video review could have been beneficial. On course officials obviously miss things.

How should the Tour compensate Sergio? If you believe half of what has been published he's basically told the Tour to go fu*k them selves. I would also bet the Tour has reprimanded the official. They just haven't announced it publicly.
