He is one of the more down to earth guys on tour IMO. Always very thankful to the crowds, doesn't ever freak out or go over the top. He's the man!

He has always been one of my favorite Golfers but after this weekend I think he is number 1 to me.

I gave him the nickname "Rage Kage" last year to make fun of how calm and collected his personality is.  I was watching Sunday with my Fiance and kept saying "Let's go Rage Kage!!"  My fiance looked at me and said "he really doesn't seem like the type to have a temper"

He did seem like he was having fun on Sunday

The way K.J. interacts with the crowd, and especially kids, really impresses me.  He seems like a genuinely great human being.  This just further solidifies my opinion of him.

He always seems to be a pretty consistenty good players. Not talked about enough IMO in the world of Rickie's and Rory's. Plus he always seems to be up there on the leaderboard on sundays.

He gave a whole bunch of cash to the Japan Relief Fund as well.  He is a very likeable player.

I don't know when i started liking him but i did a few years ago.  It was a combination of his game and interaction with the crowd that won me over.

And its weird, when people ask who i like on tour i hardly ever say KJ.  Its usually phil, rickie, Bubba, etc.  But i always find myself rooting for KJ on sundays.  I have to start telling people i like him too.

My buddy's dad met him while volunteering at a PGA event practice round. Said he was the nicest guy out there.

Another cool thing about Rage Kage was the first thing out of his mouth in the post round interview was affirming his belief in Jesus Christ.

While I don't consider myself to be a Christian it is pretty special to see a man not afraid to proclaim his Faith first thing, after one of the most important professional events so far in his career.

Rage Kage is a special man indeed...

I'm sure that "Choi's Bois" membership is increasing.  Really enjoy watching him play, and how well he handles his business.

Nuck, I agree with you. In today's society, many people think it is not PC to discuss anything dealing with religion in public for fear of offending someone. I was glad KJ was not afraid to state his belief in Jesus!

KJ has a quality no one can ever take from him, and something I wish more would aspire to have...  He is a classy person.  It only takes a little more to be first class and he does it quietly and well.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
