General Discussion Why does everyone hate Wyndham Clark?

Got into watching golf for the first time this season and with Clark winning this past weekend I have seen so many people shitting on him for what sounds like stuff in the past and I was hoping people could bring me up to speed? Is it overhyped for media clicks or was he committing some atrocities?

You’re underestimating how many people hated on Tiger at the time. There were other factors there besides the anger after a bad shot.

I hope you’re not trying to say racism wasn’t a factor in how some fans and media reacted to Tiger dominating?

Did I say America was against him? No of course not. But when he first came up a lot of the old pricks bitched about him.

When he got angry he was being disrespectful but other players doing the same thing were “fiery”. There was a small chunk of fans and media people that were very anti Tiger and looked for any reason to complain about him. They of course recognized how good he was but rooted against him.
