He then snapped his driver's head off against a cooler.
This incident follows a disqualification in 2019 for damaging greens.

Sergio Garcia's volatile temper surfaced once more during the Masters on Sunday. While teeing off at the second hole, Garcia engaged in a visibly frustrated display, swinging his driver aggressively twice into the tee box, causing a noticeable divot.

Following this outburst, footage revealed Garcia further damaging his equipment by striking a cooler with his driver, causing the club head to detach from the shaft. This behavior mirrors past incidents, including his disqualification from the Saudi International in 2019 for intentionally damaging greens.

Garcia was competing in one of the early tee times, with his performance not impacting the tournament's outcome as he was five over par entering the final round. Notably, this marks the second consecutive major championship where Garcia has finished without his driver, having snapped the shaft at the 2025 Open Championship.
