SPOTY - That time of year again!

It’s a funny perception as the most famous golfer on the planet for a decade was black!

How many non golfers could name an British golfer? Apart from Rory.
But I would wager they all know who Tiger is.
 
Just watched the rerun of Fitzy winning the US Open on Sky.

Bbc not interested? Their loss.

BBC Radio had an hour long program about him today on 5live ?‍♂️

Bumping this thread and flippin eck. Am sure I will be asleep after 10 mins of the show. Personality really 😳
 
I see Joey Barton’s last minute social media charm offensive didn’t get him a nomination then?

Of those on the list it has to be Stuart Broad for me. An incredible career both in terms of achievement and longevity. But as usual I have absolutely no clue how the public will vote.

A difficult one to call, primarily because there are no genuine stand out nominations.
 
It is interesting and I wonder if there have been any achievements in sports that are not seen to be as popular to a television audience that may trump the achievements of those that are nominated.

England's rugby women have arguably played to a similar level to the women's football team but no nomination.

I'm sure Broad will win it, but I'd like to see Earps win it. Apart from a slight mistake in the match versus Netherlands, she has been pretty immense every time I see her play. I'd swap her for Onana if it was allowed, and she seems to have 10 times more character and bottle than most of the players in the mens Man Utd team.
 
Not a great list. Can't understand a nomination for Rory considering no major win and Fitzy not getting nominated last year.
I'm sure Rory can stay at home in Florida
Europe Ryder Cup Team of the Year?
Luke Donald Coach of the Year?
I doubt it.

I’d be very surprised to see any awards heading golf’s way. I suspect Man City are nailed on for team of the year given the fact they won the treble.
