Garcia to face 'no further action' following Saudi International DQ

After being disqualified from the Saudi International for "serious misconduct", Sergio Garcia will not face any further punishment.

There were suggestions that Sergio Garcia could face a further sanction, such as a heavy fine or even a suspension. 

Sergio Garcia will face no further punishment from the European Tour following his remarkable disqualification from last week's Saudi International. 

Garcia - the 2017 Masters champion - was disqualified for committing "serious misconduct" after he damaged more than one green in frustration while shooting a one-over 71 in the third round. 

The Spaniard apologised for his actions in a statement, accepting his removal from the event and insisting: "It will never happen again". 

There had been suggestions Garcia could face a further sanction, such as a heavy fine or even a suspension. 

However, when contacted, a European Tour spokesperson said: "I can confirm that no further action will be taken against Sergio Garcia."
