Pro Golfer, Sergio Garcia loves playing poker, and lucky for us joined Sarah Herring at the European Poker Tour for a brief interview. In case you missed it, golf returned to the Olympics this year in Rio for the first time since 1904. It featured two events; the men's and women's individual events. Qualification was based on world ranking as of July 11, 2016. The top 15 players in each gender qualified, with a limit of four golfers per country.
García, hailing from Spain has won over 20 international tournaments, including The Players Championship in 2008. He is the highest-earning golfer on the PGA Tour without a major championship win, with career earnings of over $43 million.
