| 22 May 2013 13:01 |
| Sergio Garcia has apologised for what could be construed as a racist remark about Tiger Woods at the European Tour's annual awards ceremony. |
| Garcia, who has been involved in a public row with Woods since the Players Championships at Sawgrass this month, was on stage with the rest of the victorious Ryder Cup team, including captain Jose Maria Olazabal. |
| During a question and answer session hosted by the Golf Channel's Steve Sands, the Spaniard was asked if he would have the world number one around for dinner one night during the upcoming US Open. |
| "We will have him round every night," Garcia said. "We will serve fried chicken." |
| Garcia later issued a statement through the European Tour, saying: "I apologise for any offence that may have been caused by my comment on stage during The European Tour Players' Awards dinner." |
