Sergio Garcia turned heads during the first round of The Masters, not just for his play but for his bold LIV Golf-inspired outfit. The 45-year-old Spaniard, captain of the LIV Golf team Fireballs, sported a vibrant red polo with yellow trim, mustard pants, and white shoes with red laces—prompting fans online to jokingly compare him to fast-food mascot Ronald McDonald.

Garcia, the 2017 Masters champion, embraced his team’s colors despite the playful backlash. The Fireballs, consisting of Abraham Ancer, Luis Masaveu, and David Puig, represent LIV’s international flair, though Garcia was the sole member competing at Augusta.

Mixed Results on the Course
Garcia finished the opening round at even par, tied for 27th, and is projected to make the cut. Meanwhile, fellow LIV golfers Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau shone brighter, both sitting at 3-under-par—four strokes behind leader Justin Rose, who surged ahead with a 7-under 65.

While Garcia’s outfit dominated chatter, his performance remains a subplot in golf’s ongoing divide between LIV and traditional tours. The Masters, allowing LIV qualifiers, has become a rare convergence point for the sport’s fractured landscape.

Garcia’s bold style choice underscores LIV’s team-centric ethos, even as critics debate its place in majors. Whether “Ronald McDonald” becomes a lasting nickname or not, Garcia’s flair ensured he wasn’t overlooked.

Final scoreboard watch continues as Round 2 unfolds.
