‘El Nino’, otherwise known as Sergio Garcia, has spent the vast majority of his career in the top 10 of the official world golf rankings, reaching a career-best second place ranking back in November 2008. A mainstay of Europe’s Ryder Cup team, Garcia has overseen three victories over the United States and remains one of the biggest personalities on the pro tour. Despite a loss of form in 2009, the 33-year-old is now back in the world’s top 20 and enjoyed back-to-back European Tour titles in October last year. Garcia has an endorsement deal with TaylorMade and a quick look at Sergio Garcia's 'what's in the bag?' reveals the Spaniard uses all TaylorMade golf equipment and clothing.
