Sergio Garcia has always been able to work his golf ball from left to right, but he’s also – apparently – proficient at playing a draw with a soccer ball.
This year’s Adalucia Valderrama Masters is suffering through some weather issues. But the highlight of the week – and, according to the Felipe Aguilar, “the year” – was always going to be the event’s player-caddie soccer match, which you can see here:

The standout highlight? This bending, left-footed(!) strike from defending champion Sergio Garcia:
Still need a striker, @realmadrid?

“Just a little bit of fun with the caddies and some of the players,” Garcia nonchalantly says in the video. “Yeah, just a little bit of running and it was good fun.”
Garcia, a diehard Real Madrid fan who kicked off El Clasico in his green jacket back in 2016, has previously appeared in professional matches for CF Borriol, a Tercera Division club in Spain.
“It’s good fun and whenever I’m around I get to practice with them a little bit and play a little bit here and there. This season, I’ve played probably five games, so not a lot, but I enjoy it,” Garcia told CNN back in 2013.
