Henrik Stenson

To me he is the hottest golfer in the world right now. He won the world cup and he is going to win the nedbank challenge tomorrow. BTW is the nedbank challenge an official sunshine tour event for WGR points because stenson should be back in the top 10 if it is . What are your thoughts on him?

I would definitely concur with the opinion that Stenson has been the best player in the world over the last month, maybe longer!! His all around game is excellent, he has no real weaknesses and is clutch at the death when he needs to be!!

Definitely a player to watch out for next season!!

What is interesting about Stenson is how well he can play and still make it boring to watch. A player's style makes or breaks the entertainment factor in golf.

He played some great golf, but it was like watching paint dry.

He's far from boring, he makes loads of birdies, ok he isn't the most animated and hides behind glasses but I like to watch him.

Ok that tourney was a procession but his win in Dubai in 2007 was thrilling as was the World Cup.

I can see Stenson becoming like Harrington and building his game around the majors.

the two third places in the open and the us pga last season ,erely hinted at this.

Fairway-green-birdie; fairway-green-par, fairway-green-birdie, now mix it up -- fairway-sand-par... rough-green-birdie...

Golf is more exciting when the player takes some chances, hits some great shots. Sergio did not play as well last weekend, but he was more fun to watch. Stenson was like robogolf. SubPar

What i notice about the golf channel on the European tour is the camera work is not near as good as on the pga tour,when watching the pga its great but watching the European it makes it less exciting,maybe its just me

I saw him play a couple of years ago in SF at the American Express at Harding Park and he reach a par 5 few golfers could reach and hit his 3 wood farther than other players driver.

He has the talent but needs a bit of Tiger in his tank to put it all together. I am surprise he has not won more often.

It's a shame that he wont play more events on the PGA than 10 or 11 next year. Opting for the Less competative and guaranteed money of the European Tour. Unfortunately he should ask guys like Monty and Ernie about there career choices now before he goes down the same road.

'I'm 10 ahead with 9 to play lets stick a few in the drink to keep subpar happy.'

oh dear, oh dear

Henrik's nasty. I've liked him from the start. He really reminds me of myself when I'm playing. And not to mention, he has some sick Oakley's.

[lordnazgul]

I do think that Henrik Stenson is a great player, i do not think that he is the hottest player at the moment though!!

For that title i would look at someone like Sergio Garcia or perhaps Robert Karlsson.

And Stenson has got a weakness, a major one, he cannot hit driver at all well at the minute, and i know he can hit his 3 wood further than most, but this is still a weakness.

With regards to him being boring, i think the complete opposite, he is a real character off the course, being a practical joker!! And his play is brillianty to watch, surely the whole point is to hit fairways and greens??????

[losingmyedge]

For that title i would look at someone like Sergio Garcia or perhaps Robert Karlsson.

I would say Stenson was very close to them just now, 2 wins in 2 weeks, and 2 3rd places in the last 2 majors of the season. He was also top 5 at the HSBC.

He is the absolute clown of the course the biggest joker going, I guess people just deal with the on-course stuff in different ways.
