Sergio Garcia’s feud with Tiger Woods took an ugly turn on Tuesday when Garcia made a “fried chicken” joke about his fellow golfer.

 

he rivals sparred earlier this month during The Players Championship, and Garcia was asked at a European Tour dinner whether he’d invite Woods to dinner during the U.S. Open in June.

 

“We’ll have him ’round every night,” Garcia is quoted as saying. “We will serve fried chicken.”

 

The Spanish star later apologized.

 

“I apologize for any offense that may have been caused by my comment on stage during the European Tour Players’ Awards dinner,” said Garcia. “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.”
