LIV Golf player Sergio Garcia has decided to “part ways” with longtime managers Carlos Rodriguez and Irek Myskow. The change, which went into effect a couple of months ago, was “made to avoid any conflict of interest due to their various involvements in different LIV teams.” Garcia’s wife Angela said Rodriguez is a “wonderful guy and we have a wonderful relationship,” but his role as GM of LIV team Torque is a “conflict of interest.” Torque is headlined by Joaquin Niemann, another client of Rodriguez, a longtime agent with GSE. Likewise, Garcia “deemed it was inappropriate for Myskow to represent Garcia due to his role” as GM of Fireballs, the team Garcia owns a stake in and serves as captain. Stepping in to manage Garcia’s affairs is Andrew DiLallo, who had served as SVP/Sporting Operations for Austin FC and had been working for the Fireballs team. He is based in Garcia’s hometown of Austin. Garcia’s move is “about as stunning a player-agent split other than” if Tiger Woods moved on from Mark Steinberg (GOLFWEEK, 4/12).
