Who is the most disliked golfer on the PGA tour?

Golf is one of the most expensive sports in the world and rightly so. It is also known to be quite a temperamental sport, as golfers require the ability to persist over three to four days and get themselves back up even if they’ve had one bad day in between.

While most golfers on the PGA Tour are friends and known competitors of each other, there are some pro golfers who just cannot be liked by their counterparts or the fans alike. There are several names that have come to the minds of everyone when they talk about disliked golfers, including Patrick Reed, Vijay Singh, Ian Poulter and Phil Mickelson. Yet, two names keep reappearing in the list, and quite often so- these are of Bubba Watson and Rory Sabbatini.

Which names top the list for the most disliked golfers on PGA Tour?

The first name that is often mentioned is that of Rory Sabbatini. According to golftoday.com, “Rory Sabbatini is the most hated man in golf. So says the result of a survey by Sports Illustrated in which 25 percent of pros polled named the 32-year-old South African as their least favorite playing partner.”

Sabbatini is known to have a bit of a reputation. He is known to have quite a temper. He does not have high patience levels and has often picked fights with players including Tiger Woods, Ben Crane and Sean O’Hair- giving him the title of the meanest golfer on course.

The other name that comes up in the list is Bubba Watson. Watson was also recently voted to be one of the least liked players on PGA Tour. An ESPN.com poll surveyed 103 tour pros including 21 major champions, asking them a series of fun questions. One of the questions asked golfers which of their peers they would be least likely to assist in the event that a fight broke out in the parking lot. And to no surprise, Bubba’s name showed up the most.

Bubba has rubbed people the wrong way, especially after complaining and refusing to play a long drive tournament. He is also known to insult his caddy when things do not go his way. This polar personality of his has earned him quite a negative reputation amongst his peers.
