Garcia's ongoing verbal sparring with Tiger Woods continued Tuesday night in Europe with what could be perceived as a racial reference for which the Spaniard later issued an apology.
Garcia, who took issue with Woods for what he viewed as a breach of golf course etiquette during the third round of The Players Championship two weeks ago, was asked in jest at a European Tour function if he would be inviting Woods to dinner during next month's U.S. Open.
"We'll have him round every night,'' Garcia said, according to The Guardian, a British newspaper. "We will serve fried chicken.''
"Fried chicken" references are associated as racial stereotypes with African-Americans. A similar comment got Fuzzy Zoeller in trouble following the 1997 Masters, when he quipped that fried chicken would be served at the following year's champions' dinner, which Woods would host as defending champion.
