Matters not to me that's he's a sip... as a golf fan, I root for Americans, especially native Texans, first and foremost. Clearly didn't have it today. Still worked up the magic to win. That's what the special ones do. 10 wins before 24 years old. For the next 20 years, we'll be witnessing probably the best professional golfer of this coming generation from a career standpoint, and I'm going to enjoy it.

Spieth is a whiney *****. I tried so hard to hate him early, but couldn't. Actually started liking him. Now I can't stand his whiney attitude. He whines and complains constantly. Justin Thomas isn't far behind.

Having met and talked with the guy several times I think it would be safe to say that most would like him. He respects A&M and the old rivalry. He does wear his emotions on his sleeve though.

I don't hate him for how much he whines and blames his caddy...I just want to open hand slap him sometimes. I think he's a stand up dude...just a whiny millennial. I bet his caddy wants to punch him at times.

Only hate I have for spieth stems from jealousy. I mean dude has 10 PGA tour wins, a smokeshow of a gf, and almost as much money as the typical texagger.

I want his life

He had just missed a bunker shot from the same location right before the playoff...had a feeling he'd hole that one out.

Hard to hate on the guy...by all accounts a good dude.

My issues aren't with him, but rather the coverage of him. I'm weird like him too. I talk to myself so much on the course, good bad, odd, entertaining etc.

I don't fault him for that. I fault the networks for deciding that the most important feature on every round of golf he's entered in needs be hours of coverage dedicated to him talking to himself no matter where he is on the leader board.

I don't need to see 2 replays of him saying the same thing to himself, then follow him walk up the fairway talking to himself, then added discussion from the broadcast team acknowledging it.

It's getting Tiger-like and that was my biggest complaint about Tiger, especially at the end. I want to watch golf that matters, and if Spieth is 15 shots off the lead, I don't need to see his whole round.

The US Open was a prime example. Guys threw up some decent rounds Sunday to get near the lead at times and we saw 1-2 of their shots (Haas, Sneds, etc.), yet we followed Spieth all day to watch him lose by 15.

Spieth got after his caddy several times yesterday, and most of the time it wasn't his caddy's fault. Jordan couldn't make a putt outside of three feet to save his life on the back nine.

Jordan then missed a very makeable putt around hole 13/14. Missed it so bad, he needed to mark it and get a new read on the green. He walked up an addressed the ball without hesitation, and his caddy talked him off the ledge, telling him to step back, catch his breath, and start his process.

I don't know if it helps or hurts Spieth that he lets his emotions fly, but it's worth watching him torture himself if it means we get to see some of the shots he made yesterday.

I like him. I can give myself a pretty good talking too on the course too. Don't fault him for that either.

Same here. I don't have an issue with that. Little concerning his putting has become an issue now. Some of those short misses didn't even scare the hole yesterday.

This.

My two typical complaints for watching golf are:

1) They concentrate on "big names" at the expense of showing good golf. I'd rather see Sam Saunders or Chez Revie pull off an amazing shot versus watching Rory flip through his yardage book and hear some banter about his wedding or whatever. Not all golfers like to watch golf on tv, those of us who do want to see golf. Of course from the tv standpoint they probably want to focus on who is popular to connect with the everyday viewer - but those folks aren't watching a lot of golf anyway.

2) The commentary. Whether its talk of trains during a U.S. Open, or an attempt to be overly dramatic about shots that happened 30 years ago, a number of these guys in the booth are annoying and make the broadcast almost unwatchable. I think I read somewhere that when Tiger does watch golf he watches it on mute.

Maybe the networks want to build up a drama during a limited broadcast time to keep people watching, but I just want to see golf.

I wouldn't necessarily call his gf a "smokeshow." She's pretty average by PGA golfer standards....



Ricky's gf though is the textbook definition of a smokeshow....

I feel like this photo of "the hot pole vaulter chick" was going around back in the early 2000's...was it really just a few years ago and I'm thinking of something else? Was there another pole vaulting smoke show over a decade ago?


One of the most beautiful women on the planet if you ask me. Well freakin done Rickie you flat billed sumbich.

I think I'd be able to relate to him more if he constantly called himself a homosexual and said insanely vile things about himself in a harsh tone. Kind of like Patrick Reed below...this still makes me lol bc it sounds so familiar...

Meh. Media is trying to hard to prop him up as the next Tiger when it's pretty obvious he's not. They try way to hard to make him seem like something he's not. Desperate for viewers

Isn't it just Spieth, Eldrick and Nicklaus with 10 PGA Tour wins before age 24?

That, 2 majors and tied with Tigee for the lowest overall score at the Masters. He's still no Tiger, but I get the infatuation. Every sport needs a hero. Between him, Rory, Ricky and Dustin, they have their go to man.
