Sergio Garcia


Residence: Borriol, Spain
DOB: 09/01/1980
May 2008 – Sergio Garcia has won golf’s ‘5th Major’ – the Players’ Champtionship at Sawgrass - earning a whoppoing $1.5m first prize – and ending a three year run without victory. Along with Monty, certainly one of the best golfers ‘never to win a Major’ - although he came very close again at Carnoustie in July 2007, losing in a play-off to Padraig Harrington. But still plenty of time for the young Spaniard nicknamed El Nino after a warm Spanish wind which brings lots of rainfall. (A rum thing to be named after, but there you go) He won 19 events as an amateur and also a pro event, the Catalonian Open – at the age of only 17. Amazingly, he made 12 out of 18 European Tour cuts before even turning professional. Sergio Garcia won the Murphy's Irish Open on only his sixth start as a pro and became the 4th youngest winner on the European Tour at the age of 19. He has had 6 victories on the US PGA Tour, including the MasterCard Colonial, Buick Classic and EDS Byron Nelson - his most recent win was in the Booz Allen Classic in 2005. He has also won 6 times on the European Tour – again the most recent was in 2005 at the Omega European Masters. He has played in four European Ryder Cup Teams – the most recent of course at the K Club in Ireland in 2006 where he won four out of four matches during the Friday and Saturday fourball/foursomes and went into the singles on Sunday against Stewart Cink with the prospect of becoming the first person in Ryder Cup history to win all 5 matches. Sadly (for the Europeans), he lost 4 & 3. He loves football and is a big fan of Real Madrid. Our biog photo of Sergio was taken at golf’s 5th Major, the TPC at Sawgrass in May 2007 where he finished second to Phil Mickelson.

 2007  Barclays Scottish Open

Played between 12-15 July 2007 at the fabulous Loch Lomond course. As the curtain raiser to the Open Championship the following week at Carnoustie, the Barclays Scottish Open attracted some of the biggest names in the world – Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Luke Donald and others all made the trip. It wasn’t, however, one of the big names who walked away with the £50,000 first prize – but a virtually unknown Frenchman - Gregory Havret - who holed a tricky 5-footer on the first extra hole to beat world no 3 Phil Mickelson in a play-off. The title also earned Havret the last remaining spot at the Open.

 2007  TPC - Sawgrass

The 34th staging of the TPC took place at The Stadium Course, Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida between May 10th-13th 2007. The Players Championship (TPC) has for a long time been considered golf’s ‘5th’ Major because of the traditionally very strong field – typically the top 50 players in the world congregate to battle it out for the huge prize money. The victor this time was Phil Mickelson who, helped by Tiger’s old coach, Butch Harmon, bagged the $1.62m first prize and the 31st PGA Tour victory of his career after finishing with a 3-under 69 and a two-stroke victory over Sergio Garcia. Stewart Cink and Jose Maria Olazabal a further stroke back tied 3rd. The Stadium course is famous for it’s tiny island green on the par 3 17th – which this time proved a watery grave for a record 94 golf balls (it’s not just us handicappers who end up in the drink). This was Mickelson’s first victory at the TPC after 14 attempts.
