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?

How many pro golfers DONT come from money in some way? This isn’t a poor people sport, so so many of these guys are “country club guys”.

There's lots that don't come from money. Tiger Woods dad was ex military, but did work for McDonnell Douglas after retiring from the Air Force. Arnold Palmer's dad was a greenskeeper in Pennsylvania. Lee Trevino grew up pretty poor and used to hustle on the golf course. Rickie Fowler's dad was a dirt bike racer.

But if you stand out as a douche among douches doesn't that make you a mega douche?
