Matt Kuchar,Phil Mickleson,Sergio.:-) CHEERS!

Benicetomonty

More than just their reputation on and off the course for me. Even if Garcia and Reed are plonkers, I like watching both of them play.
Kuchar, on the other hand, is a bore to watch. Effective but ugly swing and just plods his way around with that goofy grin of his. Vexing.

Woody Austin has to be one of the most miserable sods to have ever played the game. Bryson is hard work as well, so desperately slow and totally oblivious to everything despite his apparently impressive iq.

Maybe Justin Rose as well. He looks so perfect over the ball but it's all a bit wooden imo. Especially when hes putting. Maybe it's envy.

That video is why he sprung to mind tbh. So painfully unfunny more than anything else. Those at Skratch Golf are better than this.

Different sense of humor,I never watched him play but got a giggle out of it.

Sergio over the last few years has been pretty dislikeable. Bryson is on shaky ground for me at the min and Kuchar after the story about the caddy.

Kuchar
Bryson

Reed is so heel you'd almost like him, because you know and I know and especially he knows that he's an ass.

Brooks Koepka. His arrogance is often deserved, but he's so painfully boring to watch.

Mantis Toboggan

Kuchar and Phil.

All the slow ones. And the cheats obvs.

I followed Sergio for several holes the Friday of the Irish Open in Royal County Down. Seeing him up close and personal that day, I was shocked with what a petulant, ignorant, man baby he was. F*cking and blinding, throwing clubs, spitting and being generally disrespectful to other players - he behaved like a complete asshole. He wasn't playing well and missed the cut, but there were many other players we watched who missed the cut that day who were able to behave like adults.

Ever since then, I root against him when he's in contention.

A few
Darren Clarke (smile for camera merchant, saw first hand how he treats unpaid volunteers and it aint pretty)
Sergio (for all that the last poster highlighted)
Patrick Reed (just hate cheats)

Kuchar annoys me, even just seeing his Lurch looking head.

Reed is also up there but watching him play well in spite of so many people hating him makes me root for him some times. I inevitably want him to lose on the 18th though.

Saw him there also. It was funny after a bad shot seeing him continually trying to ram the club back into the bag, the wrong way around - in a temper.

We don't see the half of it on TV !

It's a difficult game but sometimes they don't make it easy for themselves by their behaviour

Henry Ford III

Patrick Reed, Bryson De Chambles, and of course Figjam.

p.s. Tiger Woods too. Not a good person.

Sergio and Hatton, I can live with other's failings.
Bryson is strange but respect to him and his experimental nature but I do remember the entire crowd cringing when he was putting last year at The Open, I did not realise his stance extended to his putting

castor 1

Sergio - irritates and annoys me but was still happy to see him win The Masters
Rose - no good reason, seems like a very decent person
Bryson - childish petulent behaviour several times last year
Thomas Pieters - always looks surly
J.B. Holmes - his slow play shouldn't be indulged
Dylan Fritelli - pushing the boundaries beyond reasonable to get free drop when playing with Lowry

willabur

pound for pound it has to be up there with the sports with the least likeable personalities. The greatest player of all time is a deeply unlikeable person with a long documented record of treating people like dirt. Yet when he twirls an iron and starts walking before the ball is even on the dancefloor is one of the iconic things in modern day sports

Aside from the great (unpleasant)one, I really dislike Hatton, just the way he goes on when he screws up.
Matt Wallace comes across as a complete prick
Bryson and Reed are almost caricatures at this stage. Kuchar for the caddie episode alone

Sergio.. for all the reasons outlined above. Watched him at Mount Juliet years ago paired with Harrington I think and he was quite disrespectful I thought to Harrington. Before they kissed and made up..

Monty.. very surly on the course whenever I saw him, too full of himself and lacking in self-awareness when interviewed. Example: was watching a doc on the 2004 Ryder Cup last night and he was recounting the 4ball/4somes matches. His partner was Harrington but you'd swear he was playing the Yanks on his own. It was all about Monty..

DeChambea - way too slow

Clarke - for reasons above, not a likeable character..

Golf is strange , so many players you don't like, but then you are happy for them when they win their major .

Examples, Sergio , Clarke , Rose.

Met Sergio once and you felt like giving him a slap. You would give your right nut to have his life, but he was going around as if the world was against him.

I actually like Reed , hard cheating, but golf needs characters, so fairly disappointing at this point.

In theory Harington being slow I shouldn't like, but I'll put my hands up and say if Irish you get a massive pass with me.

I hate the slow players , take your pick.

I love Tiger as a golfer, but he is a pr@#k.

xgronkjabv6pcl

Love/Hate with Bryson, at a distance I applaud the effort to approach the game in such an analytical fashion to maximise his ability.
However, he's painful to watch at times.

Hard to like Kuchar after a few pretty questionable instances such as the ball plugging efforts on the fairway too.

Jack Nicklaus is a gent.

Poulter, a complete knob.

I've seen Rose's name mentioned, he is an absolute gent, you could not meet a nicer guy.

It's just that, I'm Justin Rose , the over confident interviews, the slow play , the sun glasses, and then anyone who uses aimpoint goes straight to jail anyway.

Just something about him.

I can see what you mean, he is actually the opposite away from the camera incredibly pleasant to talk to.

Poulter on the other hand is actually worse. At a pro am organised by Els for charity in Wentworth a few years back, all the pros used young guys from the club/area. They all gave the kids golf gear, balls, in some cases wedges that were at end of use, and of course a few quid. Poulter gave his a signed glove, when Els heard, he pulled him out of the Clubhouse and told him if he didn't give the kid some money, he was to piss off out of the event and he wouldn't be getting any favours in the future. He begrudgingly gave the kid a few quid.

irish bloke

Brandt Snedeker - Don't know why - Just the head on him I think.
Bryson for obvious slow play reasons
Saw Shane Lowry yesterday and tbh he was being a bit of a p@#ck to his caddy - dont like to see that lack of respect towards people..

Golfhead65

Paul Casey Arrogent git, also Eddie Pepperal..and of course the cheater, no time for him

Is Bo on the bag?

BigChap1759

Garcia is a horrible little t1t - that stuff with the spitting, damaging the greens and trashing the bunker leave him public enemy number one in my book.

BigChap1759

Oh yes, Casey and Poulter as well - the worst of southern English @rseholes

Could never take to Lee Westwood.

I think this is more of an irrational one as he hasn't done anything in particular, just don't like the look of him.

Actually rather like Poulter - made the most of his talent and has a bit of character

Mysterypunter

Kevin Na, Andy Sullivan. Favs are Jiminez, Fowler and Sned. Don't know any of them, so could be way off

Dr Devious

Darren Clarke, with a camera in view he’s as sweet as pie, without a camera in sight he’s a top of the range grade A r sole. Seen and heard him several times up close and he’s never yet let me down when I had expected a complete and total gob5hyte. If the European tour had a HR dept for players, I’m sure Clarke would top of the pile for complaints.

Harrington.......total gentleman.

Danny dyers double

Poulter for me. Love the way he blames cameramen, his own caddie, the crowd and even the birds in the sky when he takes a bad shot. Absolute prick

Agree , seen him a few times . To be honest he acted and behaved like he was completely hungover.

Then I was delighted when he won his Open.

Golf is funny , no matter how much of an arse someone is , we can empathise with struggling golfer .

Fundamentally, we are a struggling golfer , without their ability.

To offer a small olive branch to some dudes , at the highest level. Everyone wants , you , your time and a piece of you . Then every clown recording you in a video clip they will never actually use , then the daftness of signatures, corporate days and stupid pro ams.

Their life is amazing, but we don't understand their full responsibilities and pressure.

I'm offering a very kind open door , for some.

I'd still give my left nut to do their job.

Careful now. You've already given your right nut to have Sergios life and now you are giving your left nut to do their job. Can't be many nuts left.

Players that imo were total "you know what" but are not active in any tour at present include Howard Clark, Damien McGrane in Europe and in USA Steve Pate and Robert Gamez.

People will say why McGrane. Okay I get it he's Irish but he comes across as absolute full of himself and when he shot the course record at Shannon GC let's just say he was a little bit cocksure of himself. Outside of Darren Clarke, he is my least favourite Irish player.

GreeBo

For me it would have to be Rory......







Sabbatini :P

Fatrick and Kuchar for me. Cheating has no place in our beautiful game. Misery comes a close second.

Honourable mentions to Clarke and Monty too, for being rude, boorish, self-important w*nkers
