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.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
