Bubba Watson most disliked player by his PGA peers?
Yardbarker/Larry Brown Sports ^ | 1 hr ago | By Steve DelVecchio

Posted on 04/06/2015 11:30:05 AM PDT by Ronald_Magnus

An ESPN.com poll surveyed 103 tour pros (21 major champions) and asked them a variety of serious and lighthearted questions. One of the questions asked golfers which of their peers they would be least likely to assist in the event that a fight broke out in the parking lot. Bubba’s name showed up the most.

There are plenty of people who like Watson because of his unorthodox style of play and seemingly great sense of humor (remember those hilarious “Golf Boys” videos?). However, Bubba rubbed some people the wrong way when he basically threw a hissy fit last year because he didn’t want to take part in a long drive competition. He has also been known to berate his caddy when things don’t go his way on the course.

Bubba is an outspoken believer in Jesus Christ. Could that be a reason?

That and the fact that he admits to eating Cheerios for breakfast on game days.......forget the stupid Christian excuse, everybody hates Cheerio eaters...

If you are a Tiger fan it should be “Let’s hope NOT!”

Watching Tiger golf is like watching NASCAR for the wrecks.

It was an ESPN.com poll - it happened - they’re a PGA partner.... not some little irrelevant entity.

And golfers don’t all like each other, they have cliques, just like every universe of people. When Scott Hoch and Nick Faldo were in the playoff at the Masters, the feeling was most golfers hoped they could both lose. Neither was well liked. Meanwhile, everyone loves Freddie Couples. They’re just people.

And this poll? It was anonymous, so they could get honesty.

You have a most twisted mind, on many levels.

And ESPN is a totally irrelevent entity that has ruined sports coverage across the board.

You know this how?

Take a pill!

Jimenez makes every cut in every major, but is almost always like the last guy to make the cut. One year at the Masters, he was in last place heading into Sunday - and they had a drop out due to injury. Jimenez played first, by himself, and was done very early.

How do I know? It was common knowledge for those who follow golf.

And your ESPN comment is just absurd and frankly, a little bit - how can I say this - STUPID! They are the most powerful entity in sports - with one possible - and I say possible - exception. And how could they ruin sports “across the board” if they were irrelevant? Oops, you stepped into it deep on that one.

The twisted mind comment? Shows your class.

All of your comments here show your “class.”

Your opinions have to be “common knowledge,” huh?

Piece of work!

What is wrong with you today? Off your meds?

It WAS common knowledge....not all opinions, but Hoch and Faldo were not popular on the tour. You can verify this with about 2 minutes of research if you still doubt it.

No wealthy parents to fund his dream, just total personal effort

As with many if not a majority of pros on tour.

True. And family money can certainly help, but it cannot make the dream happen.

You Bet!!!

There are Christians all over the PGA Tour. That’s not it. Bubba is a genuine volcano, and maybe that has something to do with it.
