> I think Brian Davis now owns the distinction of most money with no win, but Briny has major back issues to go along with double shoulder surgery in 12-13? I don’t know as that he comes back from that unfortunately, I know he has really been enjoying the home life with his kids. But he may make a run at the Senior Circuit especially if he can get a cart, but walking 54-72 holes is a challenge for him still I think.

 

Thanks for the info BN, I had read he had an injury but didn't think It would be career ending, tough game this golf. Hopefully he recovers enough to get some time in on the Champions tour.

I saw him on a beach not that long ago.. looked pretty happy with his current place in live. Even posed for a picture for me.

Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan for me

Adam Scott and Hideki have dropped off coverage the past couple of years.

I was always sort of fond of Jamie Donaldson.

They both have done decent enough to make the president's cup on points. They would probably have received more coverage if some moron at the network(s) hadn't decided to shown woods picking his @ss instead of showing anyone or anything else. Who else turns off coverage, or changes the channel any time woods is shown or talked about?

Adam Scott is 15th in the OWGR.

Yes, but the producers would rather show Rickie and Cameron Champ

He is probably still drunk at Gleneagles :D

I don't think it's been said but I'll say it... Amanda Duffner....

Seriously though, Anthony Kim.

David Duval. One of my all-time favorite players. Also a really nice guy.

[JDCON]

Greg Norman and David Duval. I’ve had the same penguin head cover since high school because of Duval.

Yessss, my roommate at the time and I adopted Victor as our favorite euro tour player in our 20’s. Murdered it and carried 2 drivers.

[tungstenplug]

Anthony Kim, Geoff Ogilvy, Luke Donald, Martin Kaymer, Moe Norman

[golfandfishing]

Did he play the Euro Tour? He grew up in Texas and had Nationwide status off and on, but I don’t remember him playing the Euro Tour.

Everyone has said my initial picks, but I’ll add one-Kenny Perry. The 2007-2009 timeframe where he rocked the R7 irons and CRAZ-E putter were some extremely fine golf.

he played at John Deere few years back when he was trying to make it on tour one last time. I was there for practice round on Tuesday and no one was really following him, I got behind him on a par 3 tee to film his swing with my phone. Duval signaled his caddie over and the caddie immediately jumps behind him to block my view, lol, always thought that was kinda weird. Guess he was sensitive about his swing at the time.

[Walter Sobchak]

It probably was Nationwide we used to watch him on and I was mistaken. As soon as I read the name it reminded me of my friend and I’s affinity for him due to the duel driver factor back in the day.

Luke Donald is playing in the European Tour event this week, and he's not doing too bad. If you tune in you might see some of him. Don't know what Mahan is doing these days. Is he still playing? Are you a Southern Californian, and fanboying on Gore because he's local to your area? I've played with Gore, and he is the least impressive pro by far that I've ever seen/played with.

[Swvehaun]

Anthony Kim

Robert rock - though he made a run on the Euro last year

[Pauly567]

Luke Donald

[KC13]

Vijay's smooth swing and of course John Daly. Guy rips!

[BearQ]

Anthony Kim and VJ stand out

Well, bless your heart.

Fred Couples - You can still catch him on the Champions Tour but the (seemingly) effortless swin always amazes me.

But he's kind of a little better now. You see him more now. Did pretty good in scotland.
