Go ahead and throw some names out. We all have fairly common favorites, but it is hard to make a poll for your least favorite, because just about everybody has different ones. Let the bashing begin!

least fav.=Colin Montgomery, just a bad attitude in the States
Tiger could use a little attitude adjustment also, imho. there are a many young ppl watching every move he makes, and i would like him to watch his mouth when playing.

David Duval PGA
Dottie Pepper LPGA
Rocky Thompson Champions Tour

although he is a good player I don´t like Chris Dimarco. I think his swing is not one to imitate

Tiger Woods would be my least favorite. He has both done more "good" for the game(bring more money) and more bad for the game ( one player held out above the game itself) than any player. The anamosity surrounding him, I feel, has done more bad than good for the game................... in the long run.

Yet very little of this is HIS FAULT.
I guess you can say I don't dislike HIM but I dislike what his effect has had on the game, the fans and golf in general.

Vijay Singh. Yes I know, #1 player in the world and all, but I don't even know what it is. I don't like watching him play.

I'd take his swing and trade him places for what I'm doing for a living...

I'm not fond of Vijay either. I never cared for Chris. Something about him. I don't know what.

I do like VJ. I know what it's like being a person in the community that is visible and having what you say scrutinized to the extent you feel like saying nothing and ultimately become "boring" to others.
I'd say for you VJ dislikers to look at what the media does to him that makes him the way he is............................quiet and boring. He knows he is not bigger than the game and just keeps quiet(except for the Anika thing) and there you go.........................the reason why he is boring. He's ****** if he does and ****** if he doesn't........................
Meanwhile you have Tiger, the media darling. They wouldn't say a bad thing about him if they had to. It's a "the agenda thing".

Don't get me wrong. I think Vijay is persecuted relentlessly and very unfairly. But I'm not fond of his attitude towards the world. You can't act like that and be popular. I just wish Vijay would realize that, so that people would give him the respect he deserves.

Only these come to mind:

* Steve "Volcano" Pate - I don't like anyone with a temper this bad.
* Spencer Levin - I realize he's not on tour (yet), but everything I've read about this guy indicates he's an arrogant, pompous bastage with a 'tude.
* John Daly - yes, I realize he's the "people's champion", and I've heard many times that he's a REALLY nice guy, but someone with this much garbage in their lives would have been immediately fired from a "normal" job after all the off-course (and on-course) shenanigans he brings. Hitting that Driver over all the spectators a few years ago is VERY dangerous and foolhardy - he should have been suspended for a long time for that stunt.
* Tommy Armour III - why? Because he gets a TON of ladies! I don't know why he gets so much action - he's not exactly Brad Pitt, ya know.

Woody the "Strike yourself with your putter shaft"

I'm not a big Monty fan either. He lets people get into his head a little bit too much.

I don't like Vijay. Regardless of how the media portrays him. When you're on top you'll be shown in a good light, when you drop off, you get bashed. Look at all the articles out right now questioning everything Tiger has done as a reason for his game being off.

Sergio Garcia. The most whiny spoiled brat on the tour. Can't stand him.

Phil Mickelson. His smile looks so fake it's disgusting. But he does seem like a nice guy at times. I just included him because I know no one else will.

Woody Austin dblbassted? That will be replayed on all the blooper shows forever. No matter what he does the rest of his career THAT will always be the biggest highlight.

BTW, what's with your avatar. Someone's gonna shoot a poor kitten? I know, I know, it's just a water gun used to train it to stay off the screen...nice one.

Vijay. Here's my feeble attempt to explain why I, and possibly others, don't really like him. Besides the fact that he seems boring and not very much fun.

What's the first thing you hear about Vijay? He's a practice fanatic. That's part of it for me. In my 'idealized' world of professional golfers, what sets them apart from the majority of the golfers in the world is their inherent skill. Now, when you hear about how much Vijay practices, you start thinking, "well, heck, if I could practice that much I'd be that good too." And while that isn't probably true, it immediately diminishes our view of Vijay. Plus, I think, "if I practiced that hard and made on tour, I'd sure as heck have more fun. Smile more. Enjoy things." And that's not the image that Vijay gives off.

Of course I could be wrong, and I just don't like him because he's boring......

Spencer Levin....is that the kid who was playing the US open with his hat on backwards, a cigarette in his mouth, and just acting like his **** doesn't stink?? If so I'd like to fight that kid!! What an idiot.
