Who are your favorite golfers?

I've thought of this within the context of LIV before, but "favorite golfer" is kind of an interesting thought. More than any other sport, they all kind of do the same thing. Save a few people, there's not much flair or variation. So what it comes down to for me is so often the story in a given tournament. Take yesterday for example, I didn't really care about any of the guys at the top. I would have liked Theegala because he seems like a genuinely good dude. Xander is boring so I would have liked Bryson over Xander. Hovland seems like a good dude so I would have preferred him over either Bryson or Xander.

So I guess the guys I root for as I watch tend to be relative to the other contenders. I don't really go into any one tournament saying "man, I really hope this guy wins."
The thing I like about Xander is that, by all reports, everyone loves the guy and loves playing in his group. Always seems upbeat and smiling (except when he is in contention in a big one, he looked serious as hell yesterday). I agree on Theegala though.

If sirens go off when there isn’t a tornado I’m not going wake up my kids up and bring them to the basement unless I’m seeing more legit info on TV or social media. Kind of sad if you think about it that sirens are the least reliable source of information.

Sirens are for people outside. Do you make your kids sleep outside? Just because you aren’t outside doesn’t mean other people aren’t. Selfish.

Who are your favorite golfers?

It's an interesting sport, and without teams to root for (puke on that LIV), I find myself with certain favorites (usually based on a combination of ability and personality), other guys I find likable and fun to watch, and then the rest (with a very select few that I root against). Anyway, I was curious about everyone's list. Mine:

Favorites: Max Homa, Jason Day, Min Woo Lee, Xander Schauffele (+Tiger when he was in his prime due to sheer dominance and force of will)

Likable and fun to watch: Scottie Scheffler, Victor Hovland, Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Rory McElroy, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau, Akshay Bhatia
