Garcia commits to tying the knot
Sergio Garcia tweeted that he and his other half will be getting married at some point in 2017.
The Spaniard announced on twitter that he and Angela Akins will tie the knot later this year. It was a match made on the greens, as Akins is a former Golf Channel reporter.
According to Golf Channel, Akins "joined Golf Channel in 2015 as a reporter for Golf Central, the network’s evening news program, and as an interviewer for the network’s PGA Tour tournament coverage… Akins received her bachelors degree in journalism from the University of Texas, where she also was a member of the Longhorn’s women’s golf team."
Some very exciting news for us! We are getting married this year! Thrilled to see what the future bring us! @TheAngelaAkins pic.twitter.com/l6gUIJkdA6

The couple have been holidaying in the Alps during the festive season, during which time Garcia presumably popped the question:
