“Regardless, I felt like my career was a great career”: Sergio Garcia talks about being called a Masters Champion

Sergio Garcia is a part of an exclusive club- he is one of the 54 people to win a Masters. He took the title in 2017, after his famous battle with Justin Rose that won him the title.

Soon after Garcia won the title, he was immediately questioned about when he would be multiple champion. The Spaniard said that he had expected this. “I knew this was going to happen. When I didn’t have any it was: ‘What if he is never to win a major?’ Back then I said: ‘At the end of the day, obviously yes, winning a major makes your career better,’ but I already felt like my career was a great career,” said Garcia to theguardian.com. Garcia felt that several people would be happy with the career that he has had.

Garcia is content with the major that he has won. He believes that even though he has not won a second major, does not mean that he is bad. Garcia is now in a place, where winning in golf is not a game changer for him anymore, even though it used to be earlier in his career.

“It is special to be called a Masters champion”: Sergio Garcia reminisces on his journey

 “It’s obviously a special week every time I go back there and it’s special to be called a Masters champion for the rest of your life. But like I said, I was very happy with the career I had before so it wasn’t a case of: ‘If I don’t win one of these, I can never be happy about what I have achieved,'” said Garcia.

Garcia’s journey after 2017 though, has been a rough one. He has missed the qualification in 2018, 2019 and 2021. He attributes it to a series of problems, including a change of equipment, and missing out by just a point. “It seems like things haven’t wanted to happen there since I won, if that makes sense. But you keep going back, keep trying and wait for things to change a little bit. Hopefully that will be this year,” concluded Sergio Garcia.
