"Nice" is so subjective that I wouldn't really be comfortable calling any of them "nice" just from secondhand knowledge.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Agree, but if we're just gonna guess based off appearances, I'm leaning towards Matt Kuchar.

I guess, but I've heard enough stories about PGA Tour players being nice on the outside but dicks in private that I'm a little skeptical

So many different ways people are nice to others. I bet there are about 25 (maybe more) guys who could compete for the top spot. Tiger included. I think players get a raw deal where all it takes is one pissed autograph seeker to paint someone an a$$hole. All other good can be flushed down the drain.

EDIT: None of the players who polled Ricky F as overrated qualify though. What an a$$hole thing to say even if it were remotely true. Not nice.

I know a few people who've met Rickie Fowler in person (away from the golf course) and every one of them said that he's very friendly and down to earth.  One of my friends ran into him in a coffee shop in Murrieta, CA (Rickie's home town) and said Rickie was more than happy to take a picture with him and talk to him for a few minutes.  He said Rickie treated him like a friend rather than a disturbance to his day, as some of the pros have a reputation for.

Rickie has really surprised me, and in a good way. Early on in his career I wasn't a fan of his. He was a bit cocky, and I'll tell you straight up that I'm not a fan of cockiness if you haven't earned it. Hunter Mahan's a name that comes to mind there. If you've earned it, be cocky all you want. But over the last few years he's really turned into a classy kid. Very down to earth, very friendly and humble. He's earned a lot of points with me. He's now one of the guys I really root for on Sunday.

Billy Horschel seems like a cool dude.

Billy's growing up. When he was first contending a couple years ago, he was very immature. They mentioned last week as well how he was a bit immature on the course as an amatuer. But he's made a lot of strides in the right direction really since he won at Zurich in '13. He's still feisty and a bit wired out there, but in a way that I like it. Plus I'm a Gators fan so he wins points with me there :)

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
