You spelled Faldouche wrong.

Golf forum poobahs,

I am humbling requesting permission from the forum regulars to post a poll on PGA player popularity. For example,

For the following players, give your like/dislike gut feeling on a 1-5 scale.
(1-idol worship 2-Like somewhat 3- Neutral 4- Dislike some 5- Hate his ass)

Woods
Mickelson
Scott
McIlroy
Snedeker
Poulter
Dufner
Stricker
Z. Johnson
D. Johnson
J. Furyk
L. Westwood
B. Watson
R. Fowler
K. Stadler
G. Mcdowell
C. Villegas

I am interested in how the images of the players play with golf fans. I will compile results. If this should go on a new thread or is useless, please advise and I will slink off.

Sir Nick Faldouche. I like it.

He may be a bit of an arse at times, but he is one of the best golfers who ever lived, and he rustles a lot of your jimmies as a commentator, so he must be doing something right.

Is this us giving our thoughts? Or are we supposed to be guessing their popularity among every fan? Or among the other players? I'll give my thoughts. Though there has to be some ground between "like somewhat" and "idol worship" jfc....

He doesn't bother me. I could not care less.

If you define one of the best golfers who ever lived as top 20, then I agree.

Nick whatever you want to call him, wakes up in the morning, shakes out his shoe and whatever falls out owns anyone in this thread, maybe even anyone on this site. Fact.

Feindouche?

we'll have to wait and see what ARC comes up with

It's good to be the King.

He's an idiot.

Scott contended in all four majors, he said? Really, 45th in the US Open?

Good shoulder work Arnie.

So, looking back to see who has won POY without winning a major:
2011: Luke Donald
2009: Tiger Woods
2003: Tiger Woods
1995: Greg Norman
1993: Nick Price
1991: Pavin/Couples

Lots more before that....

Not saying Tiger is a definite...

Who doesn't like Snedeker?

Sneds, Cabrera, GMac, Dufner, Rory, Phil, Jiminez, and Ernie are my favorites.

Only guy I really don't like is Sergio, (and Tom Pernice but he's a washed up nobody), but generally will cheer for others over Euros (Poulter, Westwood), the long putter guys (Keegan, Nick O'Hern), and the bible study guys (Bubba\Crane\ZJ\Webb Simpson\Baddely ).

Kinda meh on Adam Scott

So far I really like Spieth, seems like a class act and super clutch.

Years ago I tried to talk myself into hating Tim Clark for no good reason other than the long putter, but it couldn't stick. That guy is pretty lovable.

You forgot:

2010: Jim Furyk

so it's happened 3 times in the last 4 seasons.

In contrast, no one has ever won 5 tourneys in a year and failed to win Player Tour Player of the Year.

Those commentators really need to realize how rare 5 wins in a year is to people not named Tiger Woods. Since 1980, 5 wins has only happened twice to people not named Tiger Woods (Price's 1994 and Singh's 2004). Tiger has done it 10 times. In consecutive years, he had 8, 9, 5, 5, and 5. Then, after a 1 win year, he had 6, 8, 7, 4 (injury shortened year--he only entered 6 tourneys), and 6

Those bible thumpers are the pits, especially Simpson. His political and societal beliefs are so ******edly Neanderthal it's almost embarrassing.

Tom Pernice is a random dislike.

I like Scott but Stevie absolutely blows. The way he takes off his caddie bib on 18 green EVERY single time makes me want to punch his face

Only guy I don't like is Bubba. Berating his caddy was hard to watch.

Woods : 4.75 Take out the pouting and he's a 12
Mickelson : 5 Love the excitement and flair
Scott : 3.5 Long Putter's a little gross.
McIlroy : 4 Walks around the course like a giraffe, tries to portray humility, but isn't really humble.
Snedeker : 4
Poulter : 3.5 I like his flair, but a little too cocky.
Dufner : 4.5
Stricker : 4.5 I'm tired of the broadcasters talking about what a great guy he is, but at the same time, I buy it.
Z. Johnson : 4.5 Seems like an over achiever/ grinder.
D. Johnson : 4
J. Furyk : 4 I like him cause people dislike him, and he seems like a grinder.
L. Westwood : 5 Incredible ball striker, seems like he gets it done at the bar too.
B. Watson : 0 dikk, bible thumper.
R. Fowler : 4.5 He's cool. The fact that he actually won a tournament goes a long way.
K. Stadler : 2 . He's fat and I really know nothing else.
G. Mcdowell : 4. Looks like he has a good time, a little over cocky.
C. Villegas : 3. I could do without the tight clothes.

Ernie : 5
Tongchai Jaidee : 5
Sergio: 2.5
Tommy Gainey : 4.75
Hunter Mahan : 5
Vijay : 4
Padraig : 4
Colsaerts : 4.5
Jonathan Byrd :4
Kyle Stanley: 4
John Daly : 4
Tom Watson : 5
Jordan Spieth : 4.5
Faldouche : 4

No strong feelings for Stadler or Villegas. Would be nice to see Villegas back to his best I suppose.

McDowell prob my fav player of the list closely followed by Tiger. McDowell because I'm Irish and I think he is pretty cool, probably gets the most from his talent and is clutch more often than not when the pressure is on on a Sunday.

Bubba, Zach and also Webb, Baddeley and whoever else I'm forgetting, are all a 5 for me, cool being religious and all, but they are unbearable with it.

DickPound, I think you did your numbers the complete opposite. 1 was supposed to be idol worship but anyway.

I'm so big on Spieth I went out and bought Under Armour golf gear because of him. Can't find that green shirt of his locally anywhere though! You guys think he'll stick with them or eventually jump to a bigger golfing brand? I'm sure Nike has him in their sights.
