Jordan won 3 majors before turning 24. He has 11 PGA wins at 25 years of age.(he actually had 11 at age 23) I mean, come on with the "he hasn't earned it" talk. He's one win behind Jason Day, Bubba Watson, and Zach Johnson, all much older players. He's two behind Adam Scott, who is 13 years older than Spieth. He also has more PGA wins than Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia, tremendous players who are also MUCH older.(they do have a lot of wins on non PGA events)
I just don't understand your hatred. Because he got a lot of coverage when he was winning at a young age and a historic rate, you hate him? Because most golfers talk to their caddies and their ball and try to hit good shots. Oh well, I guess you feel this way, I am sure I cannot change your mind.
I meant he hasn’t earned the attention tiger does or the patience to put up with it. Even if someone hated tiger you could be like ‘come on man...look at it’. It’s like patriots hatred.
I’m aware of Speith’s stats and comparisons you made. Zach is boring as shit. Bubba is a dick. And Sergio, does anyone like him? Maybe recently?
Athletes leave a taste in your mouth. If there’s a new fad in food and you eat it but don’t like it’s taste, you don’t say ‘well, I didn’t really enjoy that but I’ll have another helping because it’s popular and sells really well!’
I don’t ‘hate’ him. I find him boring, a crybaby and programmed by a consultant. He seems like a genuinely good guy, I just don’t need to be reminded about it all the time. As noted, I recognize it’s exacerbated by the cameras and that’s not his fault but it doesn’t help. I don’t like take joy from him playing like shit, I’d just rather not watch a puff piece on him or see him on my tv taking about ‘we’ in reference to his caddie, hitting a shot and crying ‘oh Jordan!’ to have it end up six feet from the hole or him rifling through a yardage book with a live mic to decide what to hit for a two yard difference he decides on based on the wind as he steps off the ball like Keegan or Sergio having a meltdown.
That I don’t love him or root for him or really even give a shit doesn’t mean I don’t acknowledge what’s he accomplished. And there’s no hyperbole in my original statement.
