Golf Question of the Week: Who’s Your Favorite Golfer Not Named Tiger?
Phil? Great player, but a little too much FIGJAM for my tastes.
Sergio? Part of me wants the current world’s No. 2 to break through and finally win his first major. The other part still needs convincing that he’s grown beyond being a petulant brat.
Ernie? Easy to root for a guy whose family shares the same daily challenge as so many others.
But for my money, it’s gotta be a golfer with serious game who doesn’t take himself too seriously. And I’m just one of a growing legion finding it easier by the day to cheer for a guy named Boo:
My absolute favorite golfer is Freddy Couples. He has the greatest casual swave warm nature about him than any other player I know. His personality and love for the game has been a awesome inspiration that is unsurpassed anywhere.
My favorite golfer not named Tiger is a golfer named Vijay.
Which may partially explain why I have so little enthusiasm for a golfer named Boo.
