The Most HATED Golfers On The PGA Tour..

from players who have a reputation for throwing Tantrums to those who treat everyone else like dirt here are the most hated golfers on the PGA tour starting with Patrick Reed look golf is among the priciest sports in the world and with good reason it's also a notoriously fickle sport requiring players to persevere across three to four days and pick themselves up even if they have one bad day in between or several so you can bet your polo shirt that there's going to be instances when you see things about golfers competing that you don't like and with this guy it happens a little too many times either he'd say something not so polite or maybe lost his composure on the golf course with Reed fans sort of see it coming a few instances have suggested that Reed isn't always the most trustworthy player on the tour which is weird because playing golf requires you to be really sincere with yourself at least on some level you'd hope you must be careful in how you manage this if you're in a terrible lie or if the ball shifts someone give him the memo the difficulty see Patrick Reed causes on the tour is only made worse by the fact that he also deals with some family issues he won't speak to his family and he doesn't want any of them at his events yikes four-time Champion Patrick Reed initially caused controversy with his remarks following his victory at the 2014 WGC Cadillac tournament he claimed to be among the top five golfers in the world and compared himself to Tiger Woods when Encore microphones captured the golfer criticizing himself for missing a putt with a homophobic slur he found himself in trouble once more Reed is a golfer fans love to hate regardless of whether you admire his self-assurance and Encore fire or think he's just a loud guy who needs to cool off that brings up the Patrick Reed situation that you know that a lot of folks were talking about you know people accusing him of cheating and trying to change his life in a sand pit like you know what are your thoughts on that was he cheating uh yeah much like the next guy none other than Brooks kepka he's well recognized for his outlook on life and how he views himself as a player truth is kepka is extremely conceited and believes he's the best golfer on the PGA tour sure golfers need to be confident in their abilities to get better but they don't always have to project that overconfidence the way kepka does I'll be the first to admit the best thing about him is how well he plays he's entertaining to watch when he's performing well but it can be challenging to truly support him when he starts speaking after an event though the drama kepka brings to the PGA Tour is simply unnecessary so if you prefer to watch more modest competitors rise to the top of the leaderboard he won't be your favorite golfer yeah it feels good I've been playing good for a while it was nice to see some kind of get rid of the mistakes that it kind of been plaguing me for a couple weeks but uh playing really good like where my game's at and you know it's pretty good to come in with a win and into here next up is a favorite who became the most hated any guesses yep I'm talking about Tiger Woods you might be wondering how the greatest golfer in history ended up on the list of the top 10 players whom people despise the most this is undoubtedly one of the game's saddest stories Tiger Woods has a reputation for being unbeatable on the golf course tiger however got a little ahead of himself because he was so young and successful he had personal problems which caused him to really muck things up for a spell some who like tiger began to realize they didn't appreciate the way he was acting off the golf course in a matter of months one from being one of the most well-liked golfers the sports ever seen to one of the least we'd hoped that tiger would never find himself in this unfortunate predicament which was really upsetting to witness he had to earn his reputation back and he's done so quite well I should say tiger now does a fantastic job of conducting himself with dignity and he's even developed into a truly Family Guy also his injury in 2021 has turned him into a sort of Underdog that fans enjoy rooting for Tigers had some challenging times lately so more players are hoping he succeeds rather than fails at this point still for some he remains as hated as ever ask all those women he played with now for Phil Mickelson another golfer who fans love to hate is Phil Mickelson throughout the course of a season Phil usually says something that enrages people it's a given but he can also be one of the friendliest players on the tour though at certain moments when you're Phil Mickelson it's difficult to avoid developing a little attitude you know he's perhaps one of the most well-known and famous golfers of all time but that doesn't absolve him of that behavior does it then he made some big enemies when he left the PGA tour for Liv golf uh oh no coming back from that it's been great yeah it's fun to be back it's uh everybody's been wonderful no no I I mean everybody hears so classy and um gosh it's just it's fun to be here now for a guy who never won any fans Hearts Vijay Singh Is remarkable because he simply sort of went out every week did his own thing and built a successful career for himself he didn't interact much and his speeches after matches are dull and nearly unwelcoming when you get to know Vijay though you realize that he simply takes playing golf very seriously he's renowned for spending many hours silently practicing and avoiding the social aspects of the PGA Tour throughout his career Singh hasn't had any trouble attracting controversy from the cheating incident when he was a young struggling professional to the more current deer antler spray Saga yet his icy distant demeanor the Perpetual scowl contorting his face and his refusal to speak with the Press of fan golf fans next up Bubba Watson are you really surprised to hear that Watson received the least support from tour fans 103 tour professionals including 21 major Champions were polled by ESPN dot com people answered a wacky set of questions and the results had everything you'd want to know golfers were asked which of their fellow players they would be least inclined to intervene in the event of a conflict breaking out in the parking lot yes this was one of the survey questions unsurprisingly Baba's name appeared the most many don't like Bubba especially after his whining and refusal to participate in a long drive contest he's also known to insult his caddy when things did not go his way his conflicted personality has caused him to develop a bad reputation among his peers Rory sabatini it's true the gulf World despises Rory sabatini more than anyone according to the findings of a Sports Illustrated study 25 percent of professionals surveyed said the 32 year old South African was their least preferred playing partner it's well known that sabatini has a reputation he's renowned for having a hot temper and also known as the meanest golfer on the field because he lacks patience and frequently picks fights with editors like Tiger Woods Ben Crane and Sean O'Hare instead he's despised by practically everyone Revelations about him by his ex-wife have further tarnished his reputation which was already poor before they had a messy divorce so yes Sabo has engaged in a variety of inappropriate behaviors including criticizing players losing his cool with young volunteers and yelling at anyone and everyone and that's just a few many dislike sabatini because he's obnoxious and challenging to work with he often crosses paths with some of the top PGA Tour golfers and over the years sabatini and some of his difficulties have been a problem for the PGA Tour Commissioners everyone knows he can be hot-headed on the golf course I sometimes wonder whether his career would have been more or less successful if he'd been a little friendlier so if you enjoy action and want to watch golf while experiencing drama and conflict turn your attention to Rory sabatini that's all for the most hated golfers on the PGA tour swing oh that could be good huh stay there yeah it stayed up on the proper shelf just
