Spieth's celebration: Just what the tour needed!


JStang

Recommended Posts

What a great finish to The Traveler's today. Jordan's bunker shot was obviously outstanding but it made me more happy, as a golf fan, to see him and Michael celebrate like they did. I feel like the game has lacked raw emotion with the exception of the Ryder Cup as of late.

 

A big part of Tiger's appeal was how fired up he would get when he would make a big shot and the game needs someone like that again. I'm tired of guys acting like it's not a big deal that they just won a tournament. It is! Your paycheck says that it is. I hope this continues...

It was refreshing to see some real emotion from a golfer. In a sport where pro's pay shrinks to train them to control their emotions it was nice to see Jordan celebrate a hard earned victory when he wasn't playing his best.

Exactly.

No boring TOUR robot presence. His emotion was running high, so performs an end zone dance in front of the large 18th green gallery.

More please Jordan!

Yes ... Golf was in need for a luckier Chris DiMarco

Shame Jordy couldn't celebrate losing the U S Open in the same manner ... must had something to do with losing to Brooks Koepka by 17 strokes

 

Speak clearer, please. Sounds like you have a mouth full of gravel.

So I take it you're not a fan of Spieth :dntknw:

Can't wait to hear the criticism from Geoff Shackleford on this. If he hated the Vandy aggressive hand shake from a college coach, he's going to lose his mind over a jumping chest bump from a caddie.

 

Shackelford pretty much dislikes anything related to people who can play at a high level. Has a golf talent envy issue

not bad for a golfer and his caddy, but just not to the level of football players....lol

Now that's my guy! Go CANES! The good ol days..... hopefully coming back around

 

It is a NOLE state currently, but football is better when UF and UM are good. I want to keep beating them yearly, but like to see both on the upswing, just don't get too good....

I like that Greller launched the bunker rake right off the bat, i think that set the tone for the rest... and yes, that's about as good of a non-tiger celebration as you're gonna get out of golf

 

Too young or too forgetful ;)

My dad is a casual golf fan and he texted me when he saw the celebration and the only thing he said was 'WOW, what an awesome reaction. Jordan is awesome'. So yes, I would agree, this is a positive step for the Tour. I do think Jordan brings more of a 'cool' factor to the tour than some of the other guys on Tour (McIlroy, DJ, Day to an extent). And he seems to resonate with casual fans more. But I'm not sure he is ever going to have the draw that an Arnie, Jack, or Tiger get. Those are rare generational athletes whom transcend the game. Jordan may wind up being an all-time elite tour player, but, not sure he (or anyone currently on tour except maybe Fowler) has the capability to transcend the game.

 

Pro sports need dominate figures, generally with big personalities, to attract casual fans. Golf doesn't have that right now.
