MendieGK
Tour Winner
Remember I only asked a question in the post. I didn't come out and criticise his character etc.
Ok put it this way. Does someone outside the top 100 in the world (high of about 74) deserve magazine front covers? In my opinion no
He's a character in a golfing landscape devoid of these in these media trained days. If he can get kids into golf as a result great. If he entertains on and off the course then great. He can certainly play enough to earn a decent living and maintain a tour card. What's not to like
As said in my post , the guy is a breath of fresh air for golf and is playing on the hardest tour in golf. Bloke couldn't be more down to earth if he tried- not sure why that's bad for the front cover of a mag really.

She made money because of her looks. I don't think Mr Sullivan would claim to be up there as a looker.
AK made money just because of her looks? I know you probably meant that a bit tongue in cheek... didn't you?
I'm not a great fan of a society/media putting "pretty" people on a pedestal and we did get a lot of AK pushed in our faces.
According to Wiko, AK didn't win any titles, can't say I remember any epic finals battles she played in either.
But... Between 1995 and 2002 she earned $3.6m on WTA Tour - by playing!
I don't know if she was able to enter because of invites or if she legitimately qualified for all those tournaments, but she wasn't that bad you know. And not as good as the media/sponsors desperately wanted her to be!
No that would be beef in ginger.:whoo:
He is raising the profile of the sport and making it less stuffy.
What's not to like?
Beeeeeffffffffff
Errm, his stupid redneck beard and Cleatus teeth.
He`s got a face that could scare Police Horses.

To be fair, his beard is more Hot shot Hamish than redneck.

He's still at the beginning of his tour career and doing so on the toughest tour. He's making a decent living, and shed loads more from his off course endorsements so I'm not sure he's too bothered. He probably realises that he'll never be world #1 but as long as he keeps his card and keeps the cheques coming I'm sure he's happy enough
