10 Most HATED Golfers of ALL TIME!

top 10 most hated golfers ever on and off the course in this video we're going to take a look at some of the top 10 most hated pga golfers ever some people love them some people hate them but one thing is for sure they are never boring some of the golfers on our list have been absolutely despised by fans and critics alike for their terrible play on the course while others have made headlines for their bad behavior off the course regardless of why they're hated one thing is for sure these guys know how to stir up some controversy so sit back relax and enjoy the show back in the day many probably thought ben hogan was called arnold palmer was cocky and even steve had his haters it was even said that the best golfer jack nicklaus was too distant to connect with fans a claim that was also directed at tom watson and lee trevino who never stopped chatting while playing and gary player but now we have a new breed of players that are disliked and the first on our list is patrick reed patrick reed is one of the most hated pga golfers of all time on and off the course he's been despised by fans and critics alike for his terrible play on the course and he's also made headlines for his bad behavior of the course he has had a controversial career during his tenure on the pga tour and now the golfer left the tour to join the newly founded liv golf there are aspects of reed's game that have to be praised but there are also many warning signs recent evidence suggests that reed is not always the most forthright player on the pga tour and the cheating allegations have been haunting read it to this day if you are in a bad lie or if the ball moves you must be careful how you handle the situation many of reed's other players clearly avoid interacting with him on a personal level as seen by their body language needless to say reed is not very popular among golf fans next we have brooks koepka most people don't like brooks koepka because he has a reputation for being cocky and arrogant and this is one of the main reasons why people dislike him he seems to think that he's better than everyone else and this attitude is very unpopular among fans and critics alike additionally koepka has a tendency to rub people the wrong way with his outspoken nature and this doesn't help his case either koepka has an excellent game and when he is on he is certainly entertaining to watch however it might be difficult to continue rooting for him when he begins speaking after the events koepka is more open about criticizing his rivals than tiger woods who we'll discuss in a moment ever was as last a year there was a big feud between brooks and bryson but koepka sure adds some drama to the pga tour all in all koepka is a great player but not always a very popular figure in the golf world tiger woods many people think he is the best goal forever yet he hasn't won enough mages to overtake jack nicklaus record so you may be wondering how the greatest golfer to ever play the game ends up on a list of top most disliked golfers tiger woods was well known domination on the golf course however as a very young person with much success tiger got a little too far ahead of himself he had difficulties in his personal life and made things worse for a while he has always been a figure of controversy and his infidelity allegations have only added to that many people who admired tiger began to realize that they did not like the way he conducted himself away from the golf course in a matter of months tiger woods went from being one of the most light golfers ever to one of the most despised since then tiger had to re-earn people's respect which he did quite well he conducts himself with class and has even become a great family man furthermore the incident in 2021 made him an underdog that many people want to root for at this point more golfers are hoping tiger will succeed then fail because he has already gone through some tough experiences in life whether you adore him or despise him there's no denying that tiger woods has revolutionized the game of golf next up we have rory sabatini despite his best efforts rory's image has been damaged by both his on and off duty behavior while ben crane was still setting up his putt on the green he famously strolled it to the next hall that reason was because they were playing against the clock and crane is often considered to be the sport's slowest competitor he is at the top of a pole asking about the latest light playing partner of the tour rory has also caused problems for the pga tour commissioners in the past he has a short fuse and can be hot-headed on the golf course but if you enjoy action and drama while watching golf look no further than rory sabatini ian paulser ian poulter is a flashy pga tour golfer look no further if you want to look at a golfer with an ever-changing haircut wardrobe or pre-shot routine the thing that irritates people about ian poulter is his brashness this is someone who doesn't give a damn what he has to say and palter recognizes his own talent and has accordingly developed an attitude when things are going well on the course many have likened him to a peacock he's impatient and resentful when things go wrong so some gold fans find it polter's quirks charming and endearing it really comes down to what kind of player you prefer watching what do you think next up we have vijay singh vijay singh is a golfer although never really winning over the hearts of people had an interesting career he would go out each week and do his own thing to create a successful feature for himself widget really engaged with others and his after-round speeches were always dry coming off as almost unfriendly even his longtime caddy whom he seldom sees may not get a morning greeting from him however vijay is extremely passionate about golf and is known for practicing silently for hours on end rather than socializing with others on the pga tour perhaps he deserves a second chance the next golfer on our list is sergio garcia sergio garcia is one of the most hated pga golfers of all time not just on the golf course but also off the course he's been despised by fans and critics alike for his terrible play on the course and he's also made headlines for his bad behavior off the course in 2012 gazia made headlines when he made racist comments about tiger woods and this is also the reason he is on our list it was when he was on stage at the ryder cup when he was asked by golf channel's steve sands whether he would invite woods over for dinner at the us open next month sergio replied we will have him round every night we will serve fried chicken according to the guardian however godzilla soon apologized for his comment but he's been involved in a number of other scandals over the years needless to say gazia is not very popular among gold fans the next player on our list is phil mickelson another goal further players will either like or despise is phil nicholson phil has a habit of saying something inflammatory at some point during the season which drives people crazy however he can be one of the kindest individuals on tour it's hard not to have a bit of an attitude when you are phil mickelson he is one of the most well-known and famous golfers of all time and deserves a great deal of respect for his talent without tiger he'd be the world's best golfer his original nickname was fig jam ask me i'm great his fans say he fakes a smile on the course golfers are often called whiners and phil becomes more opinionated as he gets older but this is something we anticipate seeing as golfers learn and develop next on our list we have baba watson is someone who the crowd enjoys booing not all of his supporters like his unique brand of aggressive play there may have been several instances over the last few seasons that have damaged his image many of his supporters were angered by his decision to skip out on a lengthy driving competition held just before a tournament began his desire to help a wide variety of charities and a high regard in which he is held by his fellow tour players have earned him a lot of admiration we don't think either he or phil are deserving of this honor but fans always have the right to their own opinions next we have bryson de cambo bryson was the pga tour's buzz this past season with his controversial game including his irons were all the same length bryson's most outstanding quality is his ability to hit the ball a long way he has worked hard to improve his body and obtained a tremendous amount of distance however certain players are somewhat upset by the way that these long distance strikes and his quest for yardage have altered the game without a doubt bryson is cocky and believes he can dominate any golf course with his game to offset his length the pga plans to make certain fairways ob and the whole feud he had going on with brooks koepka certainly doesn't make him any more likeable so who do you think is the most hated pga golfer ever or if you missed someone please let us know in the comments don't forget to like this video and
