Ryder Cup: Tiger gets to square off against Sergio after "smack" talk controversy
The matchup that everyone wants to see -- Tiger Woods v. Sergio Garcia -- is about to happen. Woods will be partnered with Jim Furyk, while Sergio has his formidable partner Luke Donald for the afternoon foursomes matches.
The match has been intensified by the supposed "smack" talk Sergio made a couple weeks ago against Tiger's less than stellar Ryder Cup record. Sergio boasts a gaudy 14-3-2 record, while Tiger still has a losing record of 8-11-2. Sergio has a winning record over Woods in team pairings, 2-1.
Two weeks ago, here's what Sergio said: "Fortunately for us he doesn't have a great Ryder Cup record," but said on Wednesday thathe had not mentioned anything about personally wanting to face theAmerican." Someone in the press, itching to create a controversy, apparently reported that Sergio said he'd like to play Tiger 3 or 4 times. Sergio denies ever saying that.
"I definitely don't mind playing him. I've played him before in the Ryder Cup and I've been fortunate enough to do pretty well against him. I guess I've had some nice partners," Garcia said. "But, no, no, I've never said that (that he wanted to play him three or four times). I think that he's a wonderful player. He's playing really nicely and, as we all know, he's won five (events) in a row until last week."

Why does Sergio act like such a jackass in this event? He's good in the Ryder Cup, but he's a punk.
Sergio Garcia really irritates me, Tiger can you please shut him up. Just his attitude and he thinks he's so good, why hasn't he won any major tournaments.
At least Sergio has a personality, something at least half the American team are lacking. Tiger Woods may be a phenomenal player but he's inanely boring. Consistently boring. All of Sergio's critics forget he is only 26, he's young and sometimes says things out of hand, many times the press revel in this and will exaggerate it as much as they can to create some kind of controversy, but Sergio's top ten in the OWGR - 'he thinks he's so good' - what a load of crap, of course he's good, he's one of the best.
Slamming Tiger's perceived lack of personality to distract from Sergio's annoying, immature actions is just lame, POM. Until Sergio mans up and starts to win tournaments against the best and not choke as has become his habit, your excuses will be nothing but "a load of crap".
