Golfer

The Resume

    (April 28, 1966- )
    PGA Champion (1991) and British Open Champ (1995)

Why he might be annoying:

    He said: 'I spent $3 million on drink and $3 million on gambling, but I wasted the rest (December 2000).'
    He threw away an incredible golfing career because he could not stay away from booze.
    His drinking cost him three wives (divorce).
    His 14 hour drinking binge prior to the Players Championship cost him a suspension and a trip to rehab (March, 1997).
    His drinking cost him his $30 million contract with Wilson.
    He has a fear of flying.
    He chain smokes.
    He once came late to a golf charity event and when he was asked if he took a wrong turn, he responded: 'No, I'm just a drunk who got lost.'
    He is manic depressive.
    He pulled out or was disqualified from 16 tournaments, mainly because of a bad temper when he wasn't playing well (1993-2000).
    In the 2002 PGA Championship, he shot an 11 on a par 4, screwing up a great round, just because he wanted to put his drive on the green and hit the water instead.
    In the 2000 US Open, he bombed so bad on the 18th hole that he played a bunker shot left handed, shot a 14 on the hole then withdrew from the tourney.
    In the 1999 US Open, his chip shot on the 8th hole rolled back toward him, and he putted the ball off the green while it was still rolling, taking a 11.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His golfing skill was hitting the ball the furthest with the most accuracy.
    He openly admits that he has a weakness for alcohol and has attempted rehab many times.
    He seems to have given up drinking and hasn't had alcohol since 2000 (source: )
    He is a people person who downplays his wealth and jokes and signs autographs notstop for the fans.
    He made a triumphant return in 2001, winning for the 1st time since 1995 and vaulting from #507 to the top 50 in the World Ranking.
    He won the 1991 PGA Championship as a total unknown, and was the 9th and final alternate (because Nick Price's wife had a baby).
