For Tiger Woods Fans

I've been thinking for quite some about who my favorite player would be once TW's playing days came to an end .

I need a favorite player but admit that I'm torn. Tiger is my man but I never thought I'd face this decision so early in his career. Unfortunately, reality has set in.

There are a lot of good choices from today's players but the more I think about it, I've whittled my choice down to two players: Rickie Fowler and Kevin Kisner. Both seem like really cool dudes with bright futures. If I had to pick today, one of them would become my favorite.

If you're a TW fan and heard that he was re-tiring tomorrow, who would your favorite player be?

You mean he hasn't retired?

Tiger woods would still be my favorite

Cheyenne Woods?

Why do you need a "favorite" player when there is so much talent? You might like following golf better if you have a stable of favorites.

I can't even move on from Tom Watson.

My favorite under fifty years old is probably Phil, but I like a lot of golfers.

The game is in a good place right now...........just enjoy all the talent on display!

I'm going with Obee as my fave.

The guys who try to channel the

Red on Sunday

Rahm, Reed, aggressive guys.

I like that

I too was a somewhat Tiger fan. Somewhat, meaning he could never be anything to me such as Jack growing up. But as I have matured I realized he didn't have to be Jack, because well, he could always be Tiger. And Tiger he was. He really just grew on me. And now what? Phil has always had a few steps on Tiger I'll admit. And in a way his plight is close to Tigers. Oh sure he shoots a good round if you can call in sick Thursday or Friday. But like Tiger, the inevitable is near. I suppose following through on the advice of some, moving to Oregan, Colorado, or Washington and ending it all with the services of a physician would be best. But I cant help but think what a waste, especially with so much opportunity here in Texas. But the fact is I am too much of a wuss to pull the trigger. So there really is no choice in this matter. I must accept my lot, as bleak as it is, carry on, and pick a replacement. I don't know it all seems so senseless. But choose I must and I will, although I'm torn presently between Luke List and Oliver Peacock.

I do have a stable of players I'll pull for if they're in contention but it's more fun if I have that ONE guy.

There are a lot of them out there, it will be difficult for people to choose ..It doesn't matter which one i see on the tee,in person i am

still amazed at the speed and the contact. It will humble you !

You can't go wrong with Jones Scott ?

Yeah, go with Jon Rahm.

Tiger woods would still be my favorite

I can certainly understand. He provided a lifetime of memories.

Grayson Murray Hitting on girls on twitter and fighting caddies

Steven Bowditch Cause he like to party

Robert Allenby can tell great stories

Pat Perez cause all he had to overcome growing up in the hood of Torrey Pines

Soo many options of other heros to root for

Yeah, go with Jon Rahm.

Love his game but he's European. Can't pull against "my man" in the Ryder Cup.

LOL. Loyalty

I'm more and more becoming a Rickie fan. I don't know if I could claim 'fanboy' status just yet but it's pretty much going to happen for me. He seems like a good dude on and off the course and I enjoy watching his game.

Kisner I'm not really drawn to at all. He can flat out play but is still just meh for me.

From across the pond Rory is easily my favorite player but he doesn't seem to play much golf these days so that even more pushes me to Rickie.

Huge Tiger fan as well. I find myself pulling for Jason Day. I like his game a lot. Unfortunately, I fear that back injuries will cut his career short like Tig if he isn't careful. The closing stretch at last year's PGA at Baltusrol convinced me that Day has a little fight in him like TW, even though Walker held him off in the end.

I like the two you mentioned a lot as well. Rickie will have a breakthrough in a major soon, IMO. He's got the game for it, and once he convinces himself that he can close it out on a Sunday afternoon, look out. Seems like a great guy too.

I'd agree that it's a lot more fun to pull for that one guy on Sunday afternoons. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate and enjoy watching all the other talent on tour.

I generally detest rooting specifically for a player - I like good golf and I don't care who it is playing well, in general.

But I gotta admit, I secretly root for Sergio and Rahm. I don't think it has anything to do with their nationality (although there was that fling in Spain that will forever be in my library...and that foreign exchange student from Spain in HS...maybe I do have a soft spot for Spain...but I digress), but I find myself rooting for those guys.

Crap, I loved seve and la nariz too...I'm a closet Spain groupie!

Anyway, those guys - and I root for spieth too due to a personal connection - however tenuous.

Lexi

It's Phil then Spieth then DJ for me. Kisner fowler then Reed for american. Like to watch stenson if he's on. And as a dark horse I like Tommy fleetwood .

Good post. This is the type of response I was looking for.

Who we kidding?

I'm embarrassed to say in my way younger years I couldn't stand Seve but now realize how amazingly talented he was and how much of a loss his early passing was.

I've moved on to Jon Rahm, Ollie Schneiderjans, and Patrick Cantlay. With players not playing every week you need multiple favorite players.

Yeah, go with Jon Rahm.

Understandable.

Perhaps you should go with a young guy; a guy who essentially is just starting out and has a long career ahead. He should be a guy who is very good and wants to be great. Jordan Spieth is your man.
