You tune in on Sunday and you see this name on the top of the leaderboard. Which golfers do you actually watch just to root against. YOu will root for anyone to win, just so this guy can't win.

For me its

Tiger

Jim Furyk

Ben Crane

Sergio

Just not a fan of any of them.

And also, don't speak with an accent (especially one from the British Isles), don't choose to play on your home continent, and don't be generally successful enough to keep Tiger and Phil from being #s

I don't use a long putter, but I don't see the problem with one.  To me a long putter more closely resembles a traditional putter than a 350cc, 400cc, or 460cc driver resembles every driver ever used

I cheer against anyone who's very strongly rumoured to have been violent to their spouse or sued a children's charity.

Tiger Woods, John Daly, and to a lesser extent, Serigo Garcia.

I don't really root against him, cause I enjoy watching him compete and hit great shots...but when it's actually coming down to the wire between Tiger and someone else I'm rooting for the other guy 99% of the time.  Unless it's John Daly, or Jeff Overton, or Colin Montgomerie.

Its impossible to root against John Daly.

His name would never be at the top of a leaderboard.

You guys got some weird people on your list. For me its only Sabbatini, but I don't get to get my Haterade on very much considering hes not really ever in contention. That dude has always and will forever rub me the wrong way.

However, I do root against Faldo and Miller all the time and they aren't even playing.

Because he's a tool? I don't cheer against him, because I don't care, Just throwing it out there.

Speaking of tools. Does anyone ever cheer against Ryan Moore? I'm so sick of that guy.

Ian Poulter – Another stiff-ass Brit who looks like he is constantly in the midst of a deep homosexual panic

Lee Westwood – Is he affected by some kind of chromosomal condition?

Briny Baird – Sounds like a disease you get from spending too much time at sea

Chris DiMarco – Whiner

Tim Herron – Eat a salad fat boy

Ryan Moore –  Wannabe Backstreet-boy catamite

Rory Sabbatini – Dude, are you wearing lipstick?

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
