Bubba Burrito

[boogielicious]

Bubba picked up the tab at Chipotle.  However, if I was his playing partner today, I may keep my distance.

Very genuine guy Bubba Watson is, There are some very cheap people on the tour, including one who is currently leading it.

How do you figure?

[Spitfisher]

Its widely known when he opens his wallet, moths fly out, especially paying for bets to other players, bell hops, luggage handlers, doormen, restaurants....he tips little or none at all.

"Do you know who I am?"

look it up, some of these claims come from other players but often working stiffs. I happen to know some people inside the ropes that have seen this first hand, its shocking. Some have joked about it publically.

Its all about him and his money period.

Oh boy here we go - four pages of innuendo.

He doesn't like betting and tipping, so what? I'm sure his foundation is more helpful to the world than tipping a luggage handler or paying a burrito bill.

Tax write off when you make that much money, you either pay the government or you create a shelter for the same amount. Lots of people have foundations when you are speaking of that amount of money.

I encourage it and am encouraged by it.

look it sorry I brought it up, back to Bubba and his nice act of kindness for some.  Several months ago he also worked the pro shop for a few hours at a local muni and played with some of the people who happened to be there- right handed with rental clubs. pretty funny

Bubba is a gregarious showman, Tiger is not. We should accept that people are different.

bubba is a fat guy hater apparently

I like where this thread is heading. Lots of potential!

Oh I don't know. Maybe when he has to eat, perhaps?

It's gospel that Tiger is tighter with $ than a crabs ass - and that's waterproof. Can't fault the guy for that, that's just how he is. *insert Reservoir Dogs diner scene, "cough up a buck ya cheap bastard!*

[RonTheSavage]

Im not sure when being "thrifty" or tight with your OWN money became something to frown upon. Drew Brees caught hell recently for a very small tip. If more athletes were this way ESPN wouldnt have ran that show about Broke athletes. As long as Tiger's family is taken care of we should all mind our own business.

[Infamous 273]

Amen. Spoken like a true Republican (no offense if you aren't). Like I said, you can't fault the guy for it - that's just how he is.

Exactly, why should we care what any athlete or celebrity gives in tips?  Why should they be expected / obligated to tip more than the average person for the same level of service?

Goes right back to the entitlement problem we have in this country, tips are based on quality of service the server provides, not the income level of the person paying the bill.

Ron,

Brees left a tip for take out that he went to pick up.  I never tip when I pick up take out.  I tip 20% when I dine in or it gets delivered.

Wow it only took 1 response for the Tiger bashing to start.  A new record!  I'm glad you get to hang with Mr. Woods and know this personally.

New record for a (negative) directional adjustment for a thread.

What Bubba did was very cool.  He's a neat guy and one of my favorite golfers.  The clip above doesn't work but youtube it and watch if you like him.  Pretty cool stuff.

Also he drives a Ford Raptor
