Sergio Garcia, affectionately known as El Nino, has been a
favourite of many people on and off the tour. With a meteoric rise to fame, he
was expected to become Europe's answer to
Tiger Woods. Although Sergio has fallen somewhat short of these
expectations, the Spaniard still remains one of the top golfers in the world.
He has a history of just missing out at the Majors, once in
the US PGA championship in 1998, and again in 2008, as well as losing out in a
playoff in the 2007 Open Championship to
Padraig Harrington.
His biggest tour win came on the PGA Tour in 2008, winning
the prestigious 'Fifth Major' at TPC Sawgrass in
Florida. While he has not won as many tournaments as some may have predicted,
he has remained in the top 10 of the world golf rankings for the last 8 years or
so.
Often seen as an aggressive player with a strong long game,
many have been quick to cite his short game and in particular his putting as his
weak point.
Sergio has been the poster child for TaylorMade Golf since
his rise to fame, and it looks like their association is set to last. Check out
what TaylorMade Golf
and Adidas Golf
equipment he is currently using below.
