FWIW, I was not speaking about Tiger, I was speaking about anybody.
Every person has their own threshold in what they are willing to ignore and what they aren’t.

Jordan Spieth.....that whiny, self absorbed, lousy short putter, twit.
Hamfist
I promise not to murder Canadan.
Hey hey hey!!! that's uncalled for!!
Dechambeau and Sergio are the main twosome that I'd least like to join for a round (on the course or in a bar).
I was struggling to think of anyone I dislike (I even like Bubba and Reed!), but then you said it. I can't stand Brooks.
Not a big fan of Spieth myself, but that's just on the golf course. Off the course, he sure seems like a super nice dude. Something about his on-course play just bothers me. But at the same time, I find myself rooting for him to return to his old form!
Probably a reason he’s voted in the top 3 as most likeable on tour by his peers almost every year.Not a big fan of Spieth myself, but that's just on the golf course.

I've mentioned this somewhere else on the forum, but a few years ago he played the Shriner's in Las Vegas. Some other big names were there that year, including Ricky (I'm a big fan), Patrick Cantlay, Bryson (who won that year), Kuchar, Webb Simpson, Ernie Els. I was watching the players sign their cards then come out to sign autographs for the kids. Spieth didn't have a great final round (over par, I think), but instead of sulking or leaving the course, he brought out something like 20 Under Armour hats for the kids and signed everyone of them, plus signed a bunch of other stuff. He was clearly prepared for the fans and enjoyed interacting with them. Turned me into a big Spieth fan (at least, off the course!).
Ricky, on the other hand, sat there inside the gate for at least 30 minutes talking with his girlfriend and someone else, about 10 feet from 50+ kids who were waiting and screaming his name. He did eventually sign autographs for them, and signed plenty, but it struck me as odd how he just sat there for so long right in front of the kids without acknowledging them. Oh well.
Same. My aversion to him started a long time before his marital issues. Right from the get-go I didn't like how he was the instant media darling and was getting shoved down everybody's throats 24/7. I always thought he was a complete richard to his fans and the media, to me he came off as though it bothered him to be there and it bothered him to have all those people wanting high-fives, autographs - or even just a smile and a nod. He may have grown the game just by the aura around him and his dominance, but to me it felt like he didn't make an effort to be fan-friendly and more outgoing to make the most of his fame in that regard. Dropping f-bombs on the course when he knew there were mics picking it up just furthered his IDGAF reputation in my mind, along with the fact that many pros who played with him over the years have said he was a complete a-hole to them. Yet he was (and still is) constantly glorified (almost deified) and propped up by the media.
love me some IJP! Alot of people think hes pampas....I personally dont. Guy makes million of dollars a year and like driving ferrari's. Well....duh. Id do the same. He is one of the most solid Tour pros from a playing standpoint out there. I think hes got a pretty good sense of humor also....

Tiger- For years the only person you could see on TV during a match was Tiger, even if he wasn't playing good, they'd show him over the tournament leaders, over, and over, and over again. Even if your favorite player was in the top 5 you couldn't watch it cause Tiger was on the screen. Really made me give up watching golf for 10 years as how do you follow favorites when they got zero screen time?
He is a very self centered and arrogant person, even though the media portrayed him as some godly icon, but most people didn't care as he'd been engrained in our minds as synonymous with golf.
I care. I tend to like honest, hard working, humble golfers, maybe its just me.
I'm glad he was able to come back however. I'll never wish ill of him, he's just not my cup o tea.

Jason Day, not so much him as a person. Just his slowwwww play
Jason Day just irks me now although really only elevated in the past couple of years. The way he struts around with his X-small polos just comes across to me as a prima donna. In addition, one minutes he has a major injury and next day comes out and shots 65 just points to me that he wants the attention. I wish he would watch a tournament from 5+ years ago and he comes across so
Rory for me, just can't seem to figure out what he's all about
Totally agree.Tiger was just high profile and caught caught. A high majority of high level athletes, celebrities, business leaders, etc screw around.
If you’re gonna stop being a fan because of that, just stop watching sports. And guys in the day you grew up loving were horndogs too.
Jordan was the most belove athlete of the current generation and there was a reason his ex wife Juanita was mentioned one time in the 10 hour documentary.

I absolutely don't care. The way he was treated, anyone would have thought he'd killed someone!

Rory & Justin Rose for me... Can’t stand either of them, I see to be in the minority.

Yep, If it was me, I would have told the media to Kick rocks....LOL!
I don't think I dislike any popular golfer.
Rors, Rickie, Jordan, Justin, rosey, woods,
Bubba was good for golf but not sure what he does now... Doesn't run me the wrong way
Dustin only aggrivates me because he should be awesome. But can't seem to finish holes.
Day, meh
IJP - funnier now that Connor Moore skits are made for him.

I was in the
There is a story of the Great One getting a call from Paulina when they got engaged and after the phone call ended Wayne said "She Finally found someone as dumb as her to marry her" or something along those lines.
