The ongoing feud between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, which started during the third round of The Players Championship, has taken an ugly twist. On Monday, Garcia told reporters in England that Woods hasn’t been honest in 15 years. Garcia was on stage at the European Tour awards dinner Tuesday, where he was asked by Steve Sands of the Golf Channel, in jest, if he would be inviting Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. Garcia’s reply was shocking.

Via The Guardian:

“We will have him round every night. We will serve fried chicken.”
Garcia later apologized in a statement released by the European Tour, saying that he did not mean the remark to be racist.

“I apologise for any offence that may have been caused by my comment on stage during The European Tour Players’ Awards dinner. I answered a question that was clearly made towards me as a joke with a silly remark, but in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner.”

Excellent work, Sergio.

It is like people forgot the Fuzzy Zeller shit.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Fuzzy's comment about the Masters dinner had nothing to do with race either.

lol

 

[BlackGhost]

He's made a huge mistake.

 

[McNei1y]

Sergio will probably choke on the chicken

 

[Adam Blade]

Europeans can't be racist. They're so much more enlightened than the boorish Americans.

 

[Mejilan]

At least fried chicken is fucking delicious.
Tiger could do worse.
Not sure Sergio could, however.

 

[GashPrex]

Uh.... good luck with that Sergio...

 

[billy beane]

Fried chicken is pretty good...

 

[jaxword]

I like fried chicken and grape juice. Does that make me a racist?

 

[harSon]

Spanish sports figures always keeping it classy

 

[Kinitari]

I wonder if he could elaborate on his whole "I didn't intend for it to be racist" thing. I guess he just means "I wanted to make a black-joke without actually offending anyone".

 

[Messi]

Is this the guy who out his balls in the water 3 times recently?

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Goodbye fried rice. Hello fried chicken.

 

[Messi]

Goodbye fried rice. Hello fried chicken.

Fer-shizzle

[vas_a_morir]

This is the dumbest stereotype. Seriously everybody in the South eats fried chicken all the time.

 

[Raika]

If Tiger isn't up for it I'd be glad to take his place.

 

[KingGondo]

Obligatory:

 

[Shadybiz]

Well...so much for Sergio for awhile. Fuzzy's comment pretty much ruined him, if I remember.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Does Tiger even get down like that? He's is/was a self-proclaimed Cablasian.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Europeans can't be racist. They're so much more enlightened than the boorish Americans.

It's not racism. Europeans call it "being endearing"

 

[BLACKLAC]

? I don't understand.

 

[Dead Man]

If he was not American or Spanish, I would say it was no big deal, but as it is :/

Hey remember when some people had no problem with this ad?

 

[dvdjamm]

 

[DominoKid]

go home Sergio. youre drunk.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Fried chicken sounds kind of good. How do you guys like to prepare your batter?

 

[RBH]

Will the chicken come from Popeyes?

 

[Boom Boom Pow]

of course he has to be spanish

 

[GodofWine]

In response Woods says he would not offer Sergio a glass of water at his house fearing Sergio would put at least on ball in it.

 

[richiek]

Sergio will probably choke on the chicken

Keep fucking that chicken, Sergio.

 

[Dude Abides]

I just don't understand how there can be a feud in golf.

 

[bionic77]

You would think this would be something you say to someone you like because I love fried chicken and would think well on anyone who gave me some*.

KFC does not count but I will make exception for Popeyes.

 

[mugurumakensei]

I just don't understand how there can be a feud in golf.

That's cause you ain't about dat life.

 

[Konka]

Eww. Fried chicken dunked in water must be awful.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

This is the dumbest stereotype. Seriously everybody in the South eats fried chicken all the time.

Its a true southern delight.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Eww. Fried chicken dunked in water must be awful.

You clearly haven't had ball battered chicken.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I just don't understand how there can be a feud in golf.

In any given sport, there's always an a-hole in one.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

? I don't understand.

I don't either.

What the fuck is juice?

 

[Madness]

Racist? No. Ignorant stereotype? Yes. We all know why he said it and why. No different then when Brock Lesnar said he'd eat a burrito and have a corona after he beat Cain Velasquez (Cain knocked his ass out and had a glass of milk and a cheese/mayo sandwich with George Lopez after lol).

This is probably going to piss off everyone else except Tiger. The man is the best golfer in the world, dating a hot skier, raking in millions and off a to a good start with a lot of tour victories already.

These guys have a bad history too.

 

[Future Foundation]

I like fried chicken and grape juice. Does that make me a racist?

???

What the fuck is "juice"? You mean grape drink?

 

[TheOohChild]

lol, fried chicken

 

[bigtroyjon]

was reading about this on another forum and someone called him submergio.

hadn't seen that before, perfect.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Sergio still salty after melting down at the end of the Players, lol.

 

[Vox-Pop]

Trying to serve him dry chicken. SMH.

 

[Boom Boom Pow]

???

What the fuck is "juice"? You mean grape drink?

wtf is grape drink?

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I don't either.

What the fuck is juice?

I want that purple stuff!

 

[see5harp]

I would very much like a pro golfer to invite me over and serve me fried chicken.

 

[rataplein]

isn't the "black people loves fried chicken" an american racist thing?. he must spend lots of time on the web... getting local insults ready. weird.
