Most successful pro golfers with the weirdest looking swing

[uttexas]

Watching Steve Marino this past weekend got me thinking about successful pro golfers with odd looking swings.  The pro golfers with weird swings do important things well but are also very talented and can succeed with their strange looking swings.

Here's some that I thought of:

Jim Furyk, Raymond Floyd, Allen Doyle, Nancy Lopez

furyk will always be mentioned in this case. i agree on floyd

[Chief Broom]

I always thought Trevino's swing looks crazy/odd, and he won 6 majors.  Arnold Palmer's swing hardly looks textbook too and he won 7!

[Chilli Dipper]

Jim Thorpe has a true hustler's swing. He must have suckered a lot of players out of their nassaus with that action back in the day.

[Harmonious]

Can't forget Miller Barber, with a big loopy backswing.  Also, Craig Stadler's unique swing.

Doug Sanders. They said he could swing inside a telephone booth. He hit the ball very straight.

Gay Brewer -- another loopy backswing.

[Radford Wooly]

Furyk, definitely!! Does Charles Barkely count?

[TourSpoon]

Floyd comes to mind.  I forgot about Thorpe...watched him back in the 90s on the old Hogan Tour when he was tuning up for the Seniors.  There is hope for us all!

[BrentonFlynn]

My vote would be Josh Broadway. Not sure where or if he is on one of the major tours. But the guy made it to the top playing cross-handed for pete's-sake. I think if I tried to hit a shot cross-handed I would dislocate my shoulder.

I've always rather looked the like of Stadlers swing.  Seems pretty simple to me.

I always like the swing of guys who can sling irons into sucker pins and hit tricky little wedge shots and make it look like they're not really trying.

Dave Barr, Craig Stadler, Bubba and Phil, Calc, etc.
