The Resume

    (November 9, 1942-August 20, 2022)
    Winner of 16 PGA Tour events including 1973 British Open
    Winner of 1995 US Senior Open
    Winner of 1963 Western Amateur
    Designer of many golf courses, including TPC at Scottsdale
    Known for his white cap
    Nicknamed 'Towering Inferno'

Why he might be annoying:

    He is often referred to by fans as one of the biggest jerks in golf history.
    He once had a drinking problem.
    He is the stereotype of a golfer that could never reach his potential.
    His head looks like a penis.
    In the 1996 US Senior Open, he complained about his playing partner, amateur Jim Stahl, using a quarter instead of a non-reflective penny as a ball marker, telling newspapers yet not telling his partner.
    He finished runner-up at the Masters 4 times.
    He is a perfectionist.
    He considers the PGA Championship 'insignificant' because he did not get along with the PGA of America.
    He is the only player in history to refuse a spot on the Ryder Cup, because he wanted to go hunting (1977).
    He frequently left during the middle of a pro-am tournament, even though the amateurs had paid thousands to play with him.
    He was on the losing end of a rivalry with Jack Nicklaus dating back to college.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was fined $3,500 in 1976 because he walked off the course to get officials to calm down his best friend Bert Yancey, when Bert had a nervous breakdown during a tournament.
    He still uses a wooden driver in tournament play.
    He used the same set of irons for more than 20 years.
    He won the 1995 US Senior Open and dedicated the victory to his cancer-stricken wife.
    He thinks Brent Musburger is a terrible golf announcer.
    When Bert Yancey died while playing the 1994 Franklin Quest Championship, he won that week and dedicated the victory to Bert.
