The golf industry has been rocked by Sergio Garcia’s shocking announcement that he has severed his 20-year professional connection with his longtime managers, Carlos Rodriguez and Irek Myskow. His wife, Angela, has verified this decision. The announcement follows Garcia’s poor showing at the 2025 Masters, where he scored 74 (+2) in the opening round and missed the cut.
According to Sergio’s wife, the move took place a few months ago to prevent any conflicts of interest resulting from their several involvements in numerous LIV teams. “Carlos Rodriguez is a wonderful guy and we have a wonderful relationship. But he’s now the general manager of Torque, so it’s a conflict of interest,” she stated.

Garcia’s missed cut at Augusta National is a part of a larger pattern among LIV Golf stars, as Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, two well-known figures, have also missed the cut. Of course, problems, particularly his heated interaction with media over inquiries regarding the rift between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, have exacerbated the Spaniard’s on-course difficulties.
An important turning point in Garcia’s career was the breakup of his managing partnership. Although the precise causes of the breakup have not been made public, the timing points to a relationship with the demands and disputes surrounding his participation in LIV Golf. The golf community is keeping a close eye on Garcia at this difficult time to see how the former Masters winner will bounce back from these failures.
