Tiger Woods hasn’t exactly accepted Sergio Garcia’s apology over ‘fried chicken’ comments

Tiger Woods has issued a response to Sergio Garcia’s controversial comments at a European Awards dinner last night and let’s just say the pair of them aren’t about to become besties anytime soon.

Woods and Garcia have always endured something of a rocky relationship on tour over the last decade or so but it reached a new low following a clash at the Players’ Championship in Sawgrass earlier this month, a tournament that Woods won after a late and somewhat trademark Garcia collapse.

Even though it’s no secret that they don’t get on, Garcia was just a tad out of order at a the European Tour's gala players' awards dinner last night when jokingly asked by Steve Sands of the Golf Channel if he would be having Tiger over for dinner during the upcoming US Open.

He replied: "We will have him round every night. We will serve fried chicken."

Garcia later apologised through a statement issued by the European Tour, but it understandably caused a fair degree of controversy and prompted the following response from Woods on his Twitter account this afternoon.

In fairness to Woods, he certainly has a point but it should make for interesting viewing whenever they're next paired together in a tournament.
