Miguel Ángel Jiménez is he as arrogant as he looks?

AKA the mechanic, LOL the most interesting golfer in the world

No, but your inference is pretty high on the arrogance scale.

Have heard just the opposite, that he is a fun person that leaves the game on the course and then enjoys his life.

Perhaps you need to recalibrate your "arrogance meter"?

AKA the mechanic, LOL the most interesting golfer in the world

Quite the opposite. Had the pleasure of eating lunch with him and Jose Maria Olazabal at the Champions event in Biloxi this spring. I couldn't have asked to meet any nicer people than those 2 and treated me as if we'd been life long friends.

he seems like a golf nut, his brain is probably so mellowed out and fryed from all the liquor, cigar smoke, and mind numbing routine of pro golf.

Ask Keegan Bradley. Hehehe

In Spain it's called confidence.

I guess it must be the confidence he radiates. Just the way he walks and throws clubs made me think he must be arrogant.

Also didnt he and Kutcher get into it during a game once?

Just proves the old dont judge a book.....

Oh yea now I get the Bradley reference. It was him.

Followed the mechanic at the senior US Open when it was in Sacramento a couple years ago. The guy is OG

Nothing could be less arrogant, or even appear arrogant.

I never met the guy but based on what I see during tournaments and interviews MAJ is a big fan of himself.

Confident. Yes.

Self aware. Yes.

Happy with himself. Yes.

Arrogant. Not even a little bit.

He will probably offend a little snowflake but not anyone who doesn't have the Bible of political correctness stuck up their arse.

You anti-PC guys are so sensitive. Cracks me up.

Not sure if this is what turns people off about him, but MAJ has great posture and carries himself in a confident, body-neutral way.

Oh come on Keegan, just let it go...

Anyway, I have followed MAJ during several proams and tournament rounds and there aren't a lot of nicer guys on the tour both with players and fans

Unwavering self belief is sometimes seen as arrogance

How so. MAJ walked back 40 yards to make sure Bradley dropped 2 club lengths. There was a rules official. None of his business.

Pure gamesmanship which is fine too.

This is correct. Was it a d!ck move? Maybe but it was match play and pure gamesmanship as you called it. And he would have learned from the Master Seve himself (which I say w/the utmost respect as I still miss Seve terribly, maddening as he could be). Bradley seemed to realize he'd been clowned after the match was over but kudos to MAJ for correctly realizing he could get under Keegan's (and Pepsi's) skin.

If you call happiness and a great time arrogance. Then I must be the most arrogant S.O.B in the world.

I love the guy. He just reminds me of old school golfers.

He seems like the type of guy I'd love to spend the afternoon with on the golf course.

The last time the PGA was at Atlanta Athletic a friend and I worked as runners for Sky Sports. Miguel and my buddy were staying at the same hotel. Miguel would come down and putt with my buddy on the little make shift putting green in the lobby, sip some merlot and have cigar outside the front door and conversate. Down to earth OG, good time guy by all accounts. We had press passes and ran into Colin Montgomerie as well. Contrary to some popular opinion in the US he was very cordial. Took the time to shake all of our group of about 4 friends (in our mid 20's at the time) and wives hands, and ask if we were enjoying ourselves.

Jimenez is one of the nicest guys on Tour. Nothing arrogant about him. There are plenty of guys that won't give you the time of day out there but he isn't one of them.

I never met the guy but based on what I see during tournaments and interviews MAJ is a big fan of himself.

You couldn't be more wrong .

I wouldnt call him arrogant. He's just a guy who loves life, isnt afraid to be himself and doesnt care what anyone thinks. I could see where that could come across as arrogant but theres a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Everything is the Competitor's business in match play. If being observed by a Competitor unnerves you, I hardly consider that gamesmanship. More likely lack of mental and emotional fortitide.

When you have an arrogant caddie who gets in the way, then you try to look tough but you fail and you go away

p.s. lol at 1.18 when Pepsi tries to get in the way again but he is pushed away by both of them... cherry on top when at the end MAJ offers to shake hands and he refuses it :D

[media=]

Some people mistake Cool for

Arrogance. Nothing but praise for MAJ.

Stay under par my friends.

I love golf, good wine, good food, good cigars. I'd hang with Miguel.
