Who is your Favourite Modern Day Golfer?

[bluenose10]

I have been getting more and more into Golf over the last couple of years and have now got a firm favourite Golfer. I never used to watch it on T.V much to be honest mostly because i only get to watch T.V after work and whenever the endless number of soaps had finished each night (don't get me started!!!) However me and the lads were talking about it and he obvious choice of Tiger was sounded but i have to say mine is Alavro Quiros. I have always liked Sergio Garcia too but for me Quiros really goes for it and i haven't seen him throw a fit when it doesn't go his way. I am hoping he really climbs the world rankings this year.

Alavaro Quiros for me to as he always plays with a smile on his face and the fact he can pound it a long way which makes for exciting golf.

 

[Smiffy]

I always like watching Jimenez and Cabrera. I like the way they play with a smile on their face and their laid back attitudes.
Not having Sky I don't get to see a lot of golf on the TV so can't say that I've seen much of Quiros, although my mate saw him at the London Club and was raving about him.

i like watchin david howell and graham mcdowell ..i like to folllow guys that have had to work hard to progress up the rankings

Jimenez

Agreed, although it would be nice to support somebody who was in contention more often!

That being said, I have a soft spot for Casey, I think he's a cracking golfer.

But the golfers I want to win the most, is whoever in my fantasy team for the week! x

[Hodgie]

Would have to say Tiger. Can't wait for him to get back playing. Watching the US tour without him there is just not the same. My other favourite would be Sergio Garcia hoping he can get his putting together this year for one of the majors.

 

[birdieman]

Phil Mickelson, when he's on his game there is no-one finer. Has stayed at the top a long long time too.

 

[Atticus_Finch]

I'm also a fan of McDowell. Also love watching big Phil and his short game.

 

[BushFinder]

I must say I like a lot of golfers, but I do enjoy watching Angel Cabrera.
I love the way he ambles around the course like a weekend club golfer, hits the ball a long way and has a very attacking stlye.
I also admire that he comes from a humble backround, has only won twice on the U.S tour, but both were majors!

For me being Irish id have to say Harrington because you never see him throw a fit he is always smiling and is a gentleman....
Outside of him it would have to be Rocco Mediate...... He may not win much but he always looks like he enjoys himself and makes light of every situation,plus he's always having a bit of banther with the crowd.

 

[borntorunsean]

Ross Fisher. I personally believe he will win a major. Seems a nice chap too.

 

[leewestrudd1]

i have a few because of the different personalities,Tiger woods,mickelson,westwood,mcilroy,harrington and ernie els

 

[Hodgie]

Ross Fisher. I personally believe he will win a major. Seems a nice chap too.

Hope its this year as have him, Casey or Ogilvy to win any of the majors this year.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Lee Westwood. A thoroughly decent guy and getting better with age. I do like a host of others and follow the GM guys like McDowell and Howell. Lets hope we see a lot of Sam Hutsby as well. Others I like are Poulter and stateside I am a Mickleson fan (Ping wedge or not)

 

[algar5]

Rory McIroy, Lee Westwood and Paul Casey for me and I truly hope that this year I am watching one of them win a major.

 

[In_The_Rough]

Ernie Els for me. The best Golf swing around IMO and a great guy to boot met him at Birkdale in 08 even got a picture with him.Mickelson also but have doubts about him as a person always seems a bit sneaky/slimy

 

[matt01]

ross fisher is the one for me,seems a good all round guy

 

[Golfmmad]

Like Smiffy I don't have Sky either, so only see the BBC coverage. My favourite is Paul Casey, always smiling and a joy to watch. Saw him at last years Wentworth and of the players that I saw, he and Darren Clarke were the only ones with a smile on their faces. And of course Darren Clarke is another that I admire after what he's been through over the last few years. Although probably not at the level he would like to be, is still able to maintain a high standard.

Of the American golfers, another favourite is Phil Mickelson, always seems to be enjoying himself and appears to be very approachable.

Golfmmad.

McIlroy and Villegas for me although my all time fave is Sandy Lyle.
