Duval is still a 'big dog' in my opinion. He's got a few bucks in the bank, but in a few years time he may become short of money as i do not know what else he does to keep the money coming in and to keep him in the life that he's become accustomed to. Bob Duval is arguably a better player than DD in the scheme of things. DD prefers to hide away in his mansion in Denver, Colorado- when it snows in the winter i hope its not like The Shining at his place..lol.

He's not a PGA Tour player. Do you have anyone in mind who is?

Not to split hairs, but the question is Most Overrated PGA Players, not PGA Tour Players. Monty is on the European PGA Tour. Thus he is technically a PGA player. I, however, am one that thinks he is no longer overrated. I don't think too many people think of him as one of the best in the world anymore as he is only 41st on the Order of Merit. He was one of the greats in his prime. He won 8 Order of Merits and 31 European Tour titles. He is just no longer in his prime.

I was actually pulling for him in the 2006 US Open. He had the game in his prime to win a major. I thought it would be a nice way to cap a very good career. I also tend to pull for the Scottish players since my Grandmother was born in Abberdean. http://www.europeanpgatour.com/

I was trying, very hard, to head off another Monty-bashing session, which could have turned ugly. The others all have.

I think you're splitting hairs. Please, please agree... And just a small correction - it's the PGA European Tour, not the other way round. Anyway, I've decided that Chad Campbell gets my vote. Promised much, achieved little and he has that moony face. Probably absolutely charming but, from 3000 miles away, I don't like the look of him..

It may have been a few hairs, but I would much rather cheer for Monty than Sergio. I do think he has tried to warm up to the US fans. His blast about the Masters won't help matters though.

Correction noted. I actually knew that but didn't want to go all golf snob in my post. I figured quoting his win totals was good enough. I agree with you on Campbell. I think he is another one that people kept waiting for. He may still reach his peak, but I don't think he had lived up to his quick start.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
