We have a biggest jerk thread going, but who are the genuine nice guys out there right now? I've heard that Joey Sindelar is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, as is Nick Price, and then there's Arnie. Who is it in today's group?

Jim Furyk, Jimmy Walker, Jerry Kelly, and Angel Cabrera all seem like genuinely good guys.

"Nice" is so subjective that I wouldn't really be comfortable calling any of them "nice" just from secondhand knowledge.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Agree, but if we're just gonna guess based off appearances, I'm leaning towards Matt Kuchar.

I guess, but I've heard enough stories about PGA Tour players being nice on the outside but dicks in private that I'm a little skeptical

So many different ways people are nice to others. I bet there are about 25 (maybe more) guys who could compete for the top spot. Tiger included. I think players get a raw deal where all it takes is one pissed autograph seeker to paint someone an a$$hole. All other good can be flushed down the drain.

EDIT: None of the players who polled Ricky F as overrated qualify though. What an a$$hole thing to say even if it were remotely true. Not nice.

I know a few people who've met Rickie Fowler in person (away from the golf course) and every one of them said that he's very friendly and down to earth.  One of my friends ran into him in a coffee shop in Murrieta, CA (Rickie's home town) and said Rickie was more than happy to take a picture with him and talk to him for a few minutes.  He said Rickie treated him like a friend rather than a disturbance to his day, as some of the pros have a reputation for.

Rickie has really surprised me, and in a good way. Early on in his career I wasn't a fan of his. He was a bit cocky, and I'll tell you straight up that I'm not a fan of cockiness if you haven't earned it. Hunter Mahan's a name that comes to mind there. If you've earned it, be cocky all you want. But over the last few years he's really turned into a classy kid. Very down to earth, very friendly and humble. He's earned a lot of points with me. He's now one of the guys I really root for on Sunday.

Billy's growing up. When he was first contending a couple years ago, he was very immature. They mentioned last week as well how he was a bit immature on the course as an amatuer. But he's made a lot of strides in the right direction really since he won at Zurich in '13. He's still feisty and a bit wired out there, but in a way that I like it. Plus I'm a Gators fan so he wins points with me there :)
