Mike Weir is pretty much a golf God in Canada..so he goes without saying for me.

Why aren't you a "fan of Tiger"?

I'm just curious, being as it is he's done so much for the game and the youth?

Ugh, I love and hate this topic at the same time. Because, yes, I am a "Tiger fan" but to my credit, I was a fan since the 94' Amateur victory. So I consider myself a "non-bandwagon fan" But I do have others, the late Payne Stewart, Adam Scott, Jim Furyk, Loren Roberts (now an old fogey), and Craig Stadler makes me laugh whenever he plays.

Being an Aussie, I am cheer for all Aussies in this order:

Adam Scott - Not just because he is an Aussie but becaise he does have an awesome swing and is great to watch. I hope he can win a bit more especially a major so he can get the results to match his talent.
Stuart Appleby - Another good golfer and bit of a larrikan
All other Aussies, I am even warming up to Badds.

I have always appreciated Ernie Els not just because he is a great golfer but because he plays all over the world. He has always tested himself in all conditions by playing everywhere.

Tiger goes without saying, it's amazing what he can do.

I am not fond of Phil Mickelson but I do love watching him play his short game.

PS MAybe this should have been a poll!

Back when i was first taking up golf David Duval was the man. He was #1 in the world, looked cool on the course (sunglass tan and all) and had one of the sweetest looking swings. Since winning the British he has fallen of the face of the earth and i'm not sure if i would pick him to be on my team in my clubs annual golf scramble (of course i would).

But i am loyal and in the end i will root for him as long as he picks up a club. Yeah he's in a terrible slump, but hell i root for the Cleveland Browns as well and they haven't done anything in decades.

As far as golfers i like to watch: Mickelson, Els and any unknown who is winning a tournament.

When I was starting out in golf, Duval was at his peak and was truly the man...I even copied his swing and tried a strong grip and everything. After him I like Vijay Singh for his work ethic and rhythm (he also let me walk with him for 3 holes during a practice round here in Westchester in NY and I haven't forgotten that.) Ernie also for his swing. Couples because he seems like such a swell chap. Starting to like Geoff Ogilvy now, but the man has a horrendous taste in clothes. Obviously, Tiger too.

So in no particular order:

1. Tiger
2. Duval
3. Singh
4. Couples
5. Els
6. Ogilvy

Go the Aussies - has to be Adam Scott, but I may be a little bit biased! I am also a huge fan of Stuart Appleby, he has been through quite a lot in his life and has managed to continue to be a very nice guy.

It was a shame last weekend that he through away the Masters win, I thought he was home with the win.

I always had a spot for Phil Mickelson until i read the 10 most hated Sports Professionals and no one had a good heard to say about him and it really put me off!! But, Seve Ballersteros is a great character as well as Sergio Garcia, they both play with passion and excitement and often wear there heart on their sleeves!! Also as Jarno said Retief just quietly, professionaly and brilliantly just gets on with what he does and does it well.

great golfers.. maybe... but Sergio a role model ?

My son and I met him, along with asbout 10 other kids that wanted to meet him and he stopped what he was doing and who he was doing it with, and spent 15min's just B.S. with the kids.

So what if he spit in a cup. The Europeans (Spanish / Latino's) are known for spitting to show discuss and anger.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
