The LIV golfer and Carlos Alcaraz have a history of sharing a friendly and supportive rapport. The duo has also played golf together in recent times. In an interview with CLAY, Sergio Garcia revealed that playing golf helps Alcaraz to stay 'disconnected' and 'happy'.

"Probably playing golf with Juan Carlos, David Puig and me helped him a little bit this week too. Carlos needs to be happy, relaxed, energised, to feel free. Golf helps him achieve that, it helps him disconnect. It’s like tennis helps me disconnect from golf."

Talking about Alcaraz's golfing skills, Sergio Garcia praised the Tennis icon. The Spaniard said:

"He has good potential in golf. He’s only been playing for a few years, but he’s good at it, he’s fast, he really enjoys it, which is important. He can achieve a fairly low handicap and enjoy himself a lot..."

Garcia was talking about his recent outing with Alcaraz before the latter faced Novak Djokovic in the US Open semis. Alcaraz paired up with David Puig, and Sergio Garcia teamed up with the Tennis icon's coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. The session ended with Puig and Alcaraz edging Garcia and Puig out 1-up on hole 18.
