Favourite player to watch on TV?

[Deleted member 1147]

So we all love our golf. But we all love to see different things. Tiger drives us all mad, either from too much coverage or not enough.
Do we like free scoring Rory and DJ, or battling players like Zach Johnson?
Some are too fast some too slow. Big hitters or short game gurus?

Who do we all like to see on the TV the most?

My own favourite player to watch on TV is Matt Fitzpatrick - he’s quick, talented and has a great short game.
My other favourite is Luke Donald.

Kevin Na.

Iceman Stenson....and that 3 wood!

Thorbjorn Olesen when he's on form. 'dat finishing position.

Love Mickelson for his short game

Big Phil

Phil Mickelson. Always exciting, can be erratic. Plays with a smile on his face.

Used to love watching Els in his heyday.

Also like Snedeker for his pace of play and his happy demeanour.

 

[Hobbit]

Rock on Tommy Fleetwood!

Old repeats of Seve in his prime - nobody else in this day and age comes close in terms of excitement, passion, shot making and carrying a crowd along with him.

I had the pleasure of watching him the flesh at a number of tournaments in the late 80s and no one I've seen since comes close, and that includes Tiger.

Is his short game really that good?
The commentators seem to cream them selves EVERY time he as a wedge in his hand.

Feel the same. Let's face it he's benefitted from havimg ridiculous lofts on his wedges for a number of years. Don't think he's that much better than a number of others out there.

I do like Lefty though for the way he plays and interacts with the fans. And he always comes across as respecting the way the game should be played in terms of respect and sportsmanship. A class act IMO.

I enjoyed Tiger crawling around in the bushes today,oh no wait a minute that was Rory.

As Pieman says no one touches Seve.

DJ for me

Sergio. He is a nervy player, just like me. Brilliant at times, then panics. Love it.

All these robots. No.

Bubba. He is fantastic to watch. You have no idea what is coming next. Neither does he.

Agree about Garcia,best swing on tour for me.
Bubba is a knob tho.

All time fav is Seve - he was superb and entertained

Not a fan of Mickleson find him a bit false at times

Stenson , Garcia both favs to watch when on form find players like Rose a bit robotic and when he is on form for me there is no one who can touch Rory but my fav at the moment - Beef - just plays with a big beaming smile

Never said I like Bubs, just I like watching him play.

In my opinion yes. And I thought the thread was about individual preferences? All time it would be Seve. A golfing unique golfing genius. To complete a top three it would be Trevino as I loved his back story and the fact he never seemed to hit a straight shot (or so it seemed on the old coverage) and the way he talked to the ball and crowds

It’s about who you like watching the most, and I was thinking current players

Sorry Homer,I was only asking a question.
