Who is Garcia’s wife? Angela Akins – GARCIA is back in golf action this weekend. And few golfers have more fanatical fans as partners than the Spaniard’s wife Angela Akins – a former Golf Channel reporter.
WHO IS SERGIO GARCIA’S WIFE?
It is no secret that Garcia had, at times, been disillusioned with his golf game during his career.
Indeed in 2012 at The Masters when in position to win, he shot a disappointing 75 in the final round – he was then quoted as saying “I’m not good enough. I don’t have the thing I need to have. In 13 years today the conclusion is I need to play for second or third place.”
This was an incredibly sad thing for people to hear, as for many Sergio’s incredible play, charm and passion on the course is something that many thought golf needed more of – to see him upset and downbeat was not something fans wanted to witness.
Enter Angela Akins – she went to the University of Texas and played for the college golf team – she also has presented and reported on the Golf Channel. It was in this reporting role that they first met.
Akins has clearly had a positive effect on the Spaniards life as three months after they got engaged, he won his first Major at The Masters. This was in 2017 and they officially tied the not in July of that year.
She is a very handy golfer playing off of 3, and her knowledge and understanding of the game has certainly been a help to Garcia.

What is the name of Sergio Garcia’s daughter? Sergio details the story behind daughter Azalea’s name
Sergio Garcia went into detail Tuesday about how his daughter came to be named Azalea.
There’s more to it than just a reaction to his Masters’ victory last year.
The name was a masterful work of encouragement by his wife, Angela, who planted the seed for possible child names before Garcia won at Augusta National.
Garcia explains:
“The year before we came to Augusta, we were talking about kids and names and how many and things like that, and out of the blue she came up with the idea,” Garcia said.
The idea?
“Why don’t we name our first kid regarding where you win your first major?” she asked her husband.
Garcia loved the idea. After he won the Masters, their work to name the child wasn’t done.
“So, we started looking at different names from here, related to Augusta, obviously looked at Georgia,” he said. “We looked at Magnolia, Holly, different ones, but we really liked Azalea, for different reasons.
“First of all, because we thought it was a very pretty name. You write it the same way in English and in Spanish, which is great, and also because it’s the hole that kind of turned things around in the final round and kind of got me going, to be able to win the Masters last year.”
Azalea is the name of the 13th hole at Augusta National. Garcia made a terrific par save there in the final round last year, after hooking his tee shot into trouble. It enabled him to stay in the hunt and eventually come from behind and win.
“So, it’s just one of those nice stories that we’ll be able to tell her when she grows up a little bit,” Garcia said.
