The Resume

    (December 17, 1962- )
    Born in Greensburg, Pennsylvania
    Five PGA Tour wins (as of 2008)
    Finished second in the 2008 US Open, losing to Tiger Woods in a sudden death playoff

Why he might be annoying:

    His career was frequently interrupted by problems with his back.
    He was in contention to win the 2006 Masters on the final day but blew it by septuple-bogeying hole 12.
    During the 2008 US Open, Johnny Miller said Mediate 'looks like the guy who cleans Tiger's swimming pool.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He bartered an arrangement with 2004 World Series of Poker champ Greg Raymer in which Raymer gets free golf lessons in return for coaching Mediate in poker.
    He forced Woods into only the third sudden death playoff in US Open history.
    Miller said, 'My intention was to convey my affection and admiration for Rocco's everyman qualities.'
    Tiger said, 'There's not one person who can say they don't like Rocco.'
