    Dunno about that. Among the Tour, it's pretty well agreed that Bubba Watson holds that role, hands down.
    Bubba is not well liked, either, but you'd probably have to talk to 50+ Tour officials before Tiger lost his unanimous vote. Bubba is weird and kind of annoying and seen as kind of phony. But this is like comparing a cat burglar to a serial killer.

    In a vote of players only, yes, Bubba could contend with Tiger there. Some players like Tiger, but nobody who works for the Tour does.

      Players AND caddies, Bubba wins easy. Tour officials, well, I don't know any of those, so you could be right.

        yeah, we're kind of talking birdies and bogeys here.

        meanwhile, everybody loves Rickie - Fowler, who won the 2nd PGA playoff event today....

            With one punch, Mike Tyson has got to be on this list...
            And, Lenny Dykstra needs to be on it as well.

              I always like the John Lucas story. He woke up one day, he did not know where, broke, divorced, fleeing prosecution. As he put it, "All I had left of my life, was my life."

                Ken Caminiti was a pretty sad situation as well.
                If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

                    Some others I can think of:
                    - Mark Ingram
                    - Chuck Muncie
                    - Eddie Cicotte, SHoeless Joe and the rest of the 1919 Black Sox
                    - Art Schichter
                    - Maurice Clarett
                    - Rae Carruth
                    - Penn State/Jerry Sandusky
