There are lots of professional athletes who look way worse than Aphibarnrat. 

The thing is, they're way better athletes than you. They're faster, stronger, and more agile. They're called linemen and they play football. 

Don't judge a book by its cover.

You ever check the ratings and the popularity of golf lately?

Yeah, and it has absolutely screw-all to do with Aphibarnrat-- who is one player, one totally unknown to most casual golf fans-- or his physical shape. You won't be able to find one shred of evidence that suggests otherwise.

Urkel - you'd better get use to seeing Kiradech. As he rose to #29 in the OWRG last week, leading him to withdraw from this weeks event to ensure his invitation to the Masters. I think it is a smart move, but it is kinda sad that he withdrew from an event in his home country to protect his spot.

OP didn't say you can't be good at golf with a gut. He hinted at it being a poor representation of the tour, himself, the sport or whatever, and that all the physical exercise one gets through golf should prevent you from becoming "large". If it doesn't, you are eating too much. The fact he was leading a tournament seems to be coincidental. Doesn't have much to do with golf really. Thread could've been called "Why are people fat?".

 

Not that this makes this thread any better, but I see a lot of replies pointing out that some larger individuals are good at golf.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By snapfade ·

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      Peter Oosterhuis

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.

      Day 50. Hand path follow through and face control technique work. 🤯 in a good way.

      I have been playing the Tour X for several years and find it to be a great ball. I buy them at Golf Galaxy and they often run sales. Was able you buy a box of 48 for $90 after applying a coupon from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I am a big fan!
