I respect the apology. It feels a bit crafted and not particularly from the heart but it is what it needed to be. I'm sure that Garcia is significantly embarrassed by how he handled himself on the course. I'm sure he's also aware that he's very lucky to have suffered little more than embarrassment and a DQ from a tournament that he wasn't likely to earn much from anyway. As of this writing, he hasn't lost anything more than his pride and probably some fans. His sponsors have stood by him and the sanctioning bodies are not particularly empowered to do more than what they've already done.
Let's hope that whatever the real root of this emotional meltdown was that Garcia finds a healthier way to deal with it in the very near future. Golf is better off with a healthy and successful Sergio Garcia in the field.
