Matt Kuchar and Sergio Garcia make up after Match Play controversy

Matt Kuchar and Sergio Garcia insist everything is fine between them in a new video posted on Monday after their Match Play match was engulfed in controversy

Two days after their quarterfinal match at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play ended in controversy, Matt Kuchar and Sergio Garcia are trying their best to ease the tension between them. Kuchar and Garcia posted a video on social media Monday to share their sides of the story, but for both of them it might be a case of too little, too late.

The incident stems from the seventh hole of their match on Saturday. Garcia, one-down in the match at the time, missed a seven-foot putt for par at the par-three that would’ve won the hole. Instead of waiting for Kuchar to concede the bogey putt, though, Garcia went ahead and missed from just four inches. Garcia called a rules official to make his case that Kuchar had intended to concede the putt, but it was already too late. He lost the hole with a double-bogey to go two holes down.

Afterward, Garcia suggested Kuchar concede the next hole to make up for it, but Kuchar refused. The two exchanged terse words later in the match before things started to calm down. Kuchar went on to win the match two-up before losing in the final to Kevin Kisner on Sunday.

Sitting together in a golf cart at Austin Country Club on Monday, though, they insist there is no bad blood between them despite how their match went.

“What’s gone on with the aftermath is just incorrect, wrong, shouldn’t have happened,” Kuchar says in the video. “I want to tell you that Sergio handled the thing extremely well. When he missed the putt, we came off seven, and he said, ‘I know it. I missed it. It’s your hole.’ I told him how bad I felt. Didn’t feel right at all. Never want to win on a technicality.”

After the match on Saturday, Kuchar shared with the media Garcia’s suggestion that he concede the next hole. Today, however, he says Garcia never made that demand. Instead, it was one of a number of options Garcia put forward.

Garcia, for his part, realizes now the whole thing began with his mistake of hitting the putt. “At the end of the day, I made a mistake. Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to make up for what happened. But it’s all good. We’re all good,” he says.

It’s not all good for either of their reputations, however. Making the matter worse is that this isn’t the first time the two of them have been engulfed in controversy this year.

Kuchar was criticized earlier this season for seemingly ripping off David “El Tucan” Ortiz, whom Kuchar used as a replacement caddie when he won in Mexico last November. Kuchar only intensified the situation by his attempts to explain himself, saying Ortiz should’ve been happy to receive the $5,000 of Kuchar’s $1.3 million paycheck. He eventually apologized and paid Ortiz $50,000, but not before his stellar reputation began to come undone.

For Garcia, he was disqualified from the Saudi International in February for intentionally damaging the greens in a fit of rage. No footage of his assault on the putting surfaces was ever recovered, but a video was released showing him angrily slamming his club down in a bunker at the same tournament.

Both players are going to have to do more than post an awkward video of them together to make the controversy go away. The incident overshadowed almost everything else that happened in the tournament this weekend and made both of them look like petulant children. They hope the video is enough to quell the argument, but unfortunately the damage has already been done.
