A) Jason Day or Stenson - I like Jason Day's swing and hes a cool guy in general.  He plays a high draw which is what I aspire to play and he's got a well rounded game when he's on.  Stenson is up there too because of his 3 wood, iron play and unbelievable ball striking

B) Tiger - no explanation needed

Current: Don't really have a stand out favorite player. i like the young guns... especially JT. also a big fan of Henrik Stenson

All time: Tiger. I would like to see another top player show the same attitude towards golf that he did... I feel like a few players have similar talent levels that he did, mostly DJ and Rory, but they don't have the same composure/ferocity/killer instinct. Spieth is probably the closest as far as mentality goes.

Difficult to say.  If we are talking about contemporary persons...I'd say Stacy Lewis.  Don't know why I find myself pulling for her...but I do.  Going way back...how can you not like Byron Nelson?  There are just too many; and I've never met any of them.  

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

1. Jordan Speith: his mental strength and putting are what he does best

2. Seve Ballesteros: he showed great charisma on the course and it is amazing watching him play in the ryder cup back in the 80s

1.  Would probably have to be Spieth.  Young kid with a very mature makeup.  There are a few things I could pick on him about but I think he's great for the game of golf.  Came right when Tiger was on his way out.

2.  I have to say Tiger.  He and I are close in age and I watched him start to dominate as my game was getting better and better.  I only wish he could soften his fall from the top but I don't see it happening.  My second is Davis Love III.  In my early years he was the guy I always wanted to watch...I loved his swing and still do today.  Plus he's a great embodiment of what you want to see out of golfers today.  Very classy and respectful.

Fairways and Greens.

1. Spieth. We are similar in age, he's not afraid to show his emotions on the course, good family guy, etc. Close 2nd is Dustin Johnson. We have almost identical body types so I like watching his swing, he just hits the ball 50-80 yds further than me :whistle:

2. Tiger. Some of my earliest memories of watching golf were watching Tiger dominate in the early 2000s. I still enjoy watching highlights from him on YouTube.

Current (Long Term) - Spieth, who I believe will win double digit majors

Current (On his way out) - Tiger

All-Time - Palmer, for talent and character

GOAT - Jack

Speith - when his putter is on, he's unbelievable.

Nicklaus Palmer Hogan Jones - the most successful player of all time IF you consider how short his career was, and he helped found and build Augusta National and The Masters, there is no greater tournament still!
