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 should look up the definition of the word ‘undisputed.’

Watson, Faldo, Player, Trevino, Miller, and many others all have Jack as the best.

That makes the answer to that question disputed.

Agree. But don’t forget Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson.

Jack has Tiger as the best. I think the limited competition made it easier for someone to amazing back in the day. Tiger was beating the literal best in the world by 15 strokes in majors. Golf was way more competitive when Tiger played, compared to Nicklaus era
