Any PGA Players You Don't Like
Are there any PGA golfers, you know big name guys on the tour currently that you really don't like for some reason? The few on my list include:
1) Retief Goosen - nasty shenannigans while playing with Stricker. 2) Ian Poulter - pinky believes he & Tiger are best players in the world. 3) Vijay Singh - just can't get beyond an ancient cheating issue. The rest are just ducky in my book!

Tiger is on the top of my don't like list now. He disrespected so many people in and out of golf with his ego driven behavior. And I'm so sick of the media still focusing way to much on him when he plays. I believe that Vijay was proven innocent of intentional cheating.

Goosen?
What did Goosen do to Stricker? I must have missed that one!

In my case it is not the golfers. It is the announcers constantly harping abut one player or another, The Golf channel is the worse but ABC, CBS and NBC come close. Sometimes it is much enjoyable hitting the mute button and watching golf and listening to your favorite music.

I really don't care for Vijay Singh ever since I heard his chauvinistic attitude toward women playing on the PGA tour. (and I'm a man!) If a woman wants to compete & qualifies I say go for it! It would add some new interest to the tour.

Story on Goosen
I believe both beefs occurred during same round while he was playing with Stricker. Did not see these events personally; believe they were reported on golf channel.
1. Stricker's ball stuck a sprinkler head and was damaged (indented) - Stricker requested that he be allowed to play a new ball...Goosen denied Strickers request to take damaged ball out of play. 2. Stricker had match won and Goosen refused to putt out his ball on 18th and allow Stricker to putt last. Goosen stalled and delayed before finally putting out; a sore sport pain in the "rear".

Sergio...what a downer
Agree...followed Segio around for a few holes and couldn't believe how angry & intense he behaved...realize he's not been playing up to his capabilities for a while...but he was downright miserable on the course...was really surprised to see this. As I mentioned in another thread, we have so much more fun watching the seniors play...you can see how much they really enjoy the fans.

How about Sergio for spitting in the cup when he missed a putt. Everyone watching the telecast saw it.

Isn't Sergio suffering from a brain tumor?
Correcting myself. Right country,wrong golfer. It was Seve Ballasteros I don't really like Vijay Singh. I am still angry with Tiger. Phil is my favorite. Last edited by graciegirl; 08-14-2010 at 04:36 PM. |

Back in 2006 it was reported that his fellow touring pros called Phil "FIGJAM." Look it up.

I hear that a lot on this forum. BUT...
Today I DVR'ed the entire PGA championship final round. I saw almost every shot by anyone that was in contention or near the top. (Except for a few that made a late push and came close and they only showed their last couple of holes). Yes they still showed too many shots by some guys off the lead (Phil and Tiger) And yes they didn't show many of Nick Watney's shots after his early demise. But overall I think I got a really good picture of what happened today. And there was plenty of action. With that rules infraction by DJ on 18 this will be a PGA that will be talked about for some time. Martin Kaymer is a star - this was no fluke. I think he was 4th in the British as well. |

back to the thread's question
I'm not a big fan of slow play so I've never liked Ben Crane. Also not a fan of Jim Furyk's putting routine which takes forever. Just hope no golfers in TV copy that style!
As far as old timers: Never liked Curtis Strange - I had a small incident with him when I was working a tournament here at the TPC Boston (actually here in my hometown of Norton, MA). Let's just say he's not the most likable person you've ever met. |
