Not really, no.

Please stay more current. The post you quoted is from nearly three months ago, and the context of that comment is still Tommy Fleetwood, while your question is not.

Most times when the media says a player is overrated, the issue was with the media rating them too high to begin with. Then they start the stories about the athlete failing to meet their unrealistic expectations.

This topic wasn’t started by the media.

True, but to be over or under rated somebody has to set the bar. Its usually member of the media. Certainly I have never heard Fleetwood say how great is or is going to be.

Pre-heating an oven to 350 degrees is over-rated.  So is Kraft macaroni and cheese.  "Over-rated" is a synonym for "known".

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Congrats to Tommy - for finishing top 20 in the Tiger Invitational. Which is also dead last, only 23 shots behind Viktor; but it is good for $100,000 and 2.09 OWGR points.
This is an event that can keep someone Tommy up in the rankings.

Players play, tough players win!

I agree that the OWGR shouldn’t award points for finishing last. They may want to rework distribution in limited field events.

Totally agree. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Who says he is overrated? Never really heard that. 

Well, the OP is from 2019, so…

Zero wins on the PGA Tour speaks to being "overrated," though. And for awhile, he was on "favorites" lists to win a major due to a few back-door finishes.

    • 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.
