Sergio shuns chance of £1m jackpot

Sergio shuns chance of £1m jackpot

The total purse of the Mallorca Classic on October 14-17 is £690,000, far less than the first prize at the HSBC World Match Play Championship, but Garcia will be competing on the Balearic island that week rather than at Wentworth.

The Spaniard joins Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in turning down invitations to the lucrative tournament.
