Least favourite pro golfer

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.

Kuchar and Phil.

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.

Darren Clarke
McDowell
Sergio
Poulter
Kucher

Kevin Morris

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.

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

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.

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..

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

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

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.

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.

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
