From a curious Hall of Fame induction to a super messy divorce oh you could pick it up I mean you can you can spot Freddy’s swing holes away there are many reasons some people are wary of Fred Couples and well I’m here to tell you all about it Fred
Couples I bet the name Rings many Bells if you were active in the whole golfing scene back in the early 2010 you’ll see that the player caus quite a stir a few times and before we get into the details of all the cont controversies let’s get
To know the player a bit this American player not only played on the PGA tour but also competed on the PGA Champions Tour and it’s safe to say that he knew his way around the course why oh only because he has remained a former number one during his career and that’s not all
Couples also has 64 professional tournament wins under his belt this includes a master tournament in 1992 oh and how could I forget his Players Championship wins from 1984 to 1996 now I think that’s all for his achievements so let’s get down to business and see why everyone hates him
The first thing that comes to mind is this Hall of Fame induction imagine being inducted into the Hall of Fame and then having people re-evaluate the criteria yikes that ought to be pretty embarrassing I like the length of that well that’s exactly what happened to Fred Couples when he got voted in
2013 it actually led many to assume that there weren’t any deserving players on the ballot so naturally they went for the next best thing oof this is making me feel bad for the man the man was the first member of the 2013 class and it
Would have been a great deal for him if it wasn’t all surrounded by controversy I guess it kind of makes sense people still think that he wasn’t exactly deserving of this honor why well the answer to that is pretty simple he only has one major to his name and apart from
That the player has only won 15 PGA Tour events shouldn’t the Hall of Fame requirements be more than that now if you’re one of those people who are big time Fred Couples fans then please don’t come at me in the comment section I’m just telling you what the popular
Opinion is and yes I agree couples was actually a superb player but was in his prime and sadly it didn’t last for long his performance wasn’t something out of the ordinary at the time couples was inducted around 60 two people had won 15 PGA tournaments or more oh and 77
Players have over one major championship under their belt so it makes sense that people don’t think he did enough to deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame to this day many people think that the voting of this year was a contest that’s right the golfing world’s Hall of Fame
Started back in 1998 and till 2013 the organization was trying its best to give it a little boost especially with media and marketing that’s why the the induction ceremony took place during the players championship week and that’s why many people think they inducted couples so he’s got all the mainstream
Attributes good looks check laidback personality check a swing as smooth as silk check check and check but what about the media attention he got in his prime well that was a bonus for the committee so I guess it would be safe to say that his induction was something
Similar to a publicity stunt now the man might have had some controversies on the course during his career but it’s clear that no one heers him as much as his old friends you know the ones that have deflected to the side of the enemy players for the Saudi funed livv league
First up the person I’ll be telling you about here is Sergio Garcia now granted that he’s got enough reason to be mad at the man after all couples called him a clown so I guess yeah the hate he has for the man is Justified it really disappointed Garcia with the remarks
Freddy made saying I don’t know where he’s going with this this was the keyhole Sergio said after a bad Drive I needed to get up and down because I knew that I could make magic on top of this Garcia also thinks that it’s really none of couple’s business Green
Jacket until Sunday at age 37 well moving on to Phil Mickelson what’s interesting about this is the fact that these two were actually close friends but ever since mikkelson joined the enemy League Freddy has been very open about his criticism he even went as far as calling his old friend so yeah if
Michelson comes out in public saying that he hates him then I really won’t hold that against him but hey there’s actually something cute about the way couples dissed him he couldn’t help but praise him as well you can see it’s an old school so I don’t want to get too
Much in the new stuff because my body can’t take pounding 200 drivers couples also called him one of the 10 best players that ever played mikkelson commented on these remarks he said we’ve been friends for a lot of years but now their bond has been thrown into Jeopardy
Says just chip it right in the hole did the reaction yes now that’s all I had to say about the man’s career it’s about time we start talking about his personal life before we get into it let me just say that these controversies have had quite
A lot of impact on the player so I guess it’s only fair if we take it a little easy on him first it’s his ex-wife ending her own life now many people seem to be trying to find a connection between this incident and the player but
Let me just tell you this nothing has been proven yet the player was married to Deborah couples for 11 years as it turns out they met at the University of Houston while they were students there and their marriage was successful for some time but things didn’t end well for
Them Deborah ended up jumping from the seventh floor of a chapel she was 43 years old I guess this is the perfect opportunity to clarify the fact that she had a long history of depression after getting divorced from the player she got $ million that much makes sense since
Couples was the PGA Player of the Year during this time one would think that all this money would help her be set for life but sadly that wasn’t the case people who knew his ex-wife claimed that it was actually the sudden change in her life that led to her deteriorating
Mental state apparently it was also because their divorce led to her being shut out from different Social Circles turns out she enjoyed being the golfer’s wife claims made against couples state that he could have uped the alamon a bit but many also don’t think he was wrong
There now his first wedding might have had a tragic end but his second marriage wasn’t any better as well his second wife th Baker ended up dying from breast cancer now couples didn’t emerge as a good guy in this story you see at the time of her death divorce proceedings
Were going on in fact it had been 3 years since the couple had filed for divorce if I say that the breakup was smooth and easy then that would be a huge understatement even at the time of her death while his estranged wife was on her deathbed at their shared home
Couples was seen playing golf in his defense he said that he felt as though he wasn’t welcome there the player was aware of the fact that people were going to hold it against him he went as far as saying I think I’m a good guy and I’m
Sure her friends think I’m a bad guy but according to him none of this mattered because at the end of the day they never Divorced with that being said it’s a wrap on reasons why people don’t like Fred Couples
