    Personally I don't have one favorite player.  I  feel in love with Rory last year when he won the U.S. Open.  Watching him take control like he did was amazing.  I also love watching TW.  Its just amazing how much he has accomplished over his career.  100 million is an outrageous amount to win on tour.  However if I were to pick a favorite, it would be Phil.  One he is a lefty just like me, and second because of how good of a guy he is.  You never see him throw clubs around, or do anything that the media will eat you up for.  Two last guys I also like are Zach Johnson and DJ.  What these guys have done on tour for their age is awesome!  Zach won the Masters a few years back, and DJ has won an event every year on tour!  Well these are my favorites, who are yours?

    Rory, Phil and TW.   Always gotta go for Phil because he represents San Diego and he is a man of character.  As far as "Jumeirah" (aka Rory).... he has been coming and going, but when he is on fire, he is on fire. For his sake, it would be nice to see TW win.

    Don't have a fave on the Champion's Tour but like watching Freddie and Tom Watson.

    I occasionally watch the LPGA.   Kind of keeping an eye out on Ko (although she is a 15 yo amateur, she took the Tour by storm at the Canadian Women's Open by winning it at -13 and taking quite a few LPGA pros to school) .  The Koreans appear to be dominating.

    I never thought of the other tours Lou, but good point.  For Champions I'm a big Jay Haas and Tom Watson guy.  Then for LPGA I'm beginning to like Stacy Lewis.

    Ko (the 15 yo amateur) out bombed Wie on the Saturday of the Canadian Women's Open.  Her driving distance average that day was 287 yd.  She'll be hitting as far as the PGA players when she's in her 20s.  My personal fave in the LPGA for awhile was Juli Inkster (mainly because she is near my age group).

    I've always been a fan of Fred C., he just seems so easy going. But right now the guy I seem to root for is Jason Dufner.

    I have to go with a Titleist Ambassador to start with and say Ben Crane.  He is a great guy and represents the Titleist brand very well.  He is also a devoted parent and husband and has gone out of his way to make many young aspiring golfers days.  I can say this first hand, as he was through his round, headed back into the club house from his car and stopped to sign my boys pin flag.  Really great guy, really good player.

     

    I would then have to go with Rors.  How can you not choose a young up and coming star.  He, in my opinion has the ability to carry the game of golf on and to the next level.  He has already won multiple majors and several BIG tournements.  My bets are on him to win the Fed Ex Cup as well.

     

    I certainly have a few more, and do agree with you that Phil is a nice guy who does the right things. 

     

    Great question.

    I also am a big fan of Phil, he is a great person on and off the course. TW I like to watch, but hate him in interviews. Jason Dufner and Adam scott are great ones I  like to watch as well as Rors. For the Champions tour I really like Haas, Freddie and Tom watson.
