Sergio Garcia's feud with Tiger Woods will not stop him from shaking hands with the world No 1 the next time they are drawn together in a tournament, the Spaniard said on Tuesday.

Garcia blamed a roar from the crowd watching the 14-time major winner for an errant shot when the two men featured in the same group at The Players Championship in Florida two weeks ago.

The gallery erupted during the Spaniard's backswing upon seeing Woods reach for his five-wood for a daring escape from a tee shot deep into the trees.
