GOLF = WORST SPORT EVER

 

After dominating the Accenture Match Play Championship this past weekend, Tiger Woods has captured his 5th straight title and dominating his sport like no athlete has. Sounds, like an exciting time to be a golf fan right? Hell no. In fact, at this very moment Golf has got to be the worst sport there is, which is why I don’t follow it. Sure, its quite hypocritical for me to bash golf when I’m not even a golf fan, so whats my problem? My problem is that as a sports fan, who likes the game of golf, I have ZERO motivation to watch it. 

 There are several reasons I can’t watch golf. The first is the simple fact that its the most pathetic group of athletes out of any professional sport ( yes, NASCAR included). I heard a statistic saying that the difference between Tiger and Phil (the 2nd ranked player in the world) was the same difference between Phil and the 100th ranked player in the world. Maybe thats not even true, but the fact is that Tiger is so much better the rest of the field  makes golf boring as hell. To make Golf even worse, the rest of the golfers are poor excuses for athletes.  I challenge you to name another sport where the number 2 player in the world has titties? Keep in mind I’m talking about men’s professional sports. Phil Mickelson has man-boobs. What’s that say about the sport? John Daly? MOOBS. How many african-americans play golf? One that I know of and he’s dominating. Sure they are the best golfers in the world, but who cares if the only people playing the sport are fat, rich, white men.

While its fun to make fun of men with breasts, the biggest reason I hate the sport is because no other golfer has even remotely challenged Tiger. When Jordan dominated basketball in the 90’s, there were always teams nipping at his heels. From Barkley’s Phoenix Suns to Malone’s Utah Jazz, there were always players and teams raising their game to take a shot at MJ. Look at the way Roger Federer has dominated tennis. He has made it look easy. Has it been? No way. Raphael Nadal has been a royal pain in his ass. If not for this tenacious Spaniard, Federer would have had two French Opens by now, and been the only player to complete 2 full grand-slams, conceding him as the greatest tennis player ever. Federer’s dominance has fueled the sport, and now all kinds of young players  are popping up, playing out of their mind trying to take down the Fed. If Phil Mickelson is supposed to be the Rafael Nadal of golf, then the sport is in trouble.  

  My other problem with Golf is that Tiger Woods is a complete D-Bag. With a demeanor that resembles a pissed-off Steve Urkel, Tiger Woods is hardly a likable person. Sure, when the camera is on him he shines those freakishly long, pearly whites, but take a flash photo of him while he’s teeing off and he’ll use those same teeth to rip out your jugular. King of the fake smile, Tiger’s true emotions are seen in the way he throws his clubs, bitches at the gallery, and scowls at his fans.  

  To put things bluntly: Golf sucks. If you love golf, you can probably watch it and appreciate that professional golfers are the best at what they do. Its an individual sport, making it easy to take pleasure in watching Tiger dominate a tournament. But for the casual sports fan who craves competition,  passion, and dedication, golf  is just not for us. For me, if I want to see an athlete dominate his sport I’ll stick to tennis, where the competition is fierce, and the number one player is not a douche.
