ESPN star Mike Greenberg called for Sergio Garcia\u2019s lifetime exemption into the Masters Tournament<\/a> to be pulled after his antics on the course in the final round on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Garcia received a code of conduct warning<\/a> after he smashed his driver in frustration at Augusta National. He slammed his club into the turf twice after hitting a shot that ended up in the bunker. Then he took a swipe at a table with a green cooler on it.<\/p>\n

Greenberg seemingly saw Garcia\u2019s anger as a detrimental issue.<\/p>\n

“A lifetime exemption is a privilege extended by Augusta to its champions out of respect,” he wrote on X. “If that respect is not reciprocated, there is no law that says a past champ cannot be banned.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not sure they should have Sergio Garcia back after the garbage he pulled today.”<\/p>\n

Garcia, who competes in LIV Golf<\/a>, won the Masters in 2017. It is his only major victory of his career. Since winning in 2017, he only made the cut for the final two rounds once. The feat came at this year\u2019s tournament. He finished 52nd in the field.<\/p>\n

He joined LIV Golf in 2022 as he was among the PGA Tour stars who left the organization. He has two wins in the series \u2013 at LIV Golf Andaluc\u00eda in 2024 and LIV Golf Hong Kong in 2025. He played his way into a playoff four times, only winning the Andaluc\u00eda event.<\/p>\n
