what’s going on everybody today I want
to talk about Brooks kka and why he rubs
so many golf fans the wrong way kka
exploded onto the scene by winning three
majors in two years and five majors in
total but despite his undeniable Talent
he’s developed a reputation as one of
the most disliked and pompous players on
tour and people were not surprised when
he left the history of the PGA tour for
the money with the Saudi Arabia backed
Liv tour in this video I’m going to
break down the key factors that have
contributed to kka becoming such a
villain in fans’s eyes let’s analyze why
he elicits such strong negative
reactions from golf lovers reason number
one his treatment of other
players Brooks kka has developed a
reputation for being blunt and even flat
out disrespectful when criticizing or
commenting on his fellow professional
golfers his tendency to call out players
was on full display in his 2023 comments
about Patrick klay’s slow pace of Play
Rather than keeping his frustrations to
himself kka publicly labeled Klay as
pathetically slow and called for
penalties or clocks to be put on players
while pace of play is certainly an issue
on tour capa’s harsh rhetoric ruffled
feathers capka seems eager to offer his
unfiltered opinions no matter how
controversial they may be many argue
that he goes too far with the
mean-spirited criticism at times
regardless his Brash style when
critiquing peerce has earned him an
unpopular reputation that has
overshadowed his undeniable Talent next
kka seems to tee off verbally on Pierce
for perceived slights that didn’t even
directly involve him for instance
joining the growing chorus to condemn
deshambo slow play when he wasn’t even
playing with him this tendency to insert
himself as the etiquette police rubs
many the wrong way his pension for
calling out fellow Pros in an effort to
prove his own greatness also Fosters
resentment among his peers simply put
relentlessly trashing others to boost
your own reputation is never a good look
it’s as if he has self-appointed himself
the rule enforcer and chief critic of
professional golf the lack of restraint
and abundance of ego is boiling over to
make Brooks one of the least liked
players out on tour reason number two
his Cockiness and arrogance one of the
biggest sources of fan animosity is
kpa’s perceived arrogance and Cockiness
he is extremely self assured and blunt
about his talents which many mistake for
Cockiness he also isn’t afraid to take
veiled shots at other players for
instance he once said that slow play
criticisms didn’t apply to him because
he has five Majors a clear jab at Bryson
he also complains about nobody’s trying
to get in his head at tournaments this
self-importance irritates fans who want
humility from their Stars Kea clearly
has Supreme belief in his worldclass
ability but his way of expressing it
often crosses over into arrogance that
he is the top dog and other players are
beneath him fans usually like seeing at
least a facade of humility and
graciousness if not genuine modesty
especially in our world’s gentleman
sport his Unapologetic confidence also
carries over into a dismissiveness of
fellow competitors aside from his direct
Rivals the sense that he doesn’t respect
the worldclass skills of other players
understandably great on fans more praise
and appreciation for his peers would
offset Brooks’s reputation for
hotess reason number three his perceived
sense of
privilege related to arrogance Brooks
also carries himself with a strong sense
of privilege and entitlement he expects
nothing less than Premier tea times and
treatment from tournament directors and
has complained when he feels slighted at
the 2019 Open Championship he whined
about his early tea time despite being
the defending champ he also said
organizers disrespected him by not
putting him on the Redan hole during a
practice round this attitude of
deserving Star Treatment doesn’t endear
him to critics having reached the
Pinnacle of golf it’s unsurprising that
kka believes he warrants premium
treatment and his major triumphs justify
rewarding him with coveted tea times and
perks however voicing this sense of
privilege out loud strikes fans as
entitled they expect Pros especially
illustrious ones like Brooks to be
thankful for any opportunity they
receive complaining or making demands
looks out of touch and arrogant not to
mention a bad role model for kids if Kea
can dial back the vocal expectation of
special treatment while keeping private
requests behind the scenes it would
dampen the privilege perception a bit
more visible gratitude would also
counterbalance any signs of entitlement
that fans detect reason number four his
treatment of fans Kea has also developed
a reputation for indifference or even
contempt when interacting with fans he
is known to ignore children seeking
autographs after rounds and seems to
resent glad handing with patrons for
example this video here showed him
swatting away a Fan’s camera after the
2019 Masters and he once even criticized
fans who were heckling his play telling
them that’s why they weren’t playing
golf for a living his lack of
graciousness with supporters doesn’t win
him any favor clearly Brook sees fan
interaction as an obligatory nuisance
rather than part of his job as a
professional golfer while understandable
to a degree this dismissal of the key
people who drive the popularity of the
sport is shortsighted even just
Plastering on a smile and taking a few
minutes to appease autograph Seekers
would be a strategic reputation saver
the facade of appreciating fans would
conceal any inner resentment kep cils
often it’s the small gestures and Grace
notes with fans that build like ability
and fame kka depriving fans of those
memorable moments only breeds more
negativity and dislike a surface level
charm offensive would likely pay
dividends reason number five his lack of
passion and
emotion another factor is Brooks’s
perceived lack of passion and emotion on
the course while he will occasionally
pump a fist after a big shot he is
generally even killed and stoic when
playing even after major wins his
celebration is subdued fans often
interpret this lack of emotion as either
arrogance or indifference
they want to see Pros playing with some
passion and fire Brooks’s muted
reactions deprive fans of those dramatic
displays they crave from Stars
psychologically kka clearly tries to
maintain an even mental Keel never too
high or too low by avoiding extreme
emotion he stays in his analytical frame
of mind however this ignores fans
appetite to see at least glimpses into
players’s competitive psyche occasional
visible displays of passion like whole
out C ations or frustration after
mistakes provide color that brings
players to life if Kea sprinkled in more
emotive reactions especially at Majors
it would humanize his image as an aloof
machine likee player reason number six
his majesty comments one of kepa’s most
infamous moments came at the 2019 Open
Championship when JB Holmes was lagging
putting in their group annoyed with the
delay Brooks said he thought he might
die of old age waiting waiting for JB
these comments rre of privilege and
entitlement essentially shaming a fellow
competitor during a major round fans
felt it was a classless egotistical
remark that showed disrespect the
incident only fueled fans dislike of
Brooks in the context of his building
reputation for arrogance these comments
seem to confirm kepa’s superiority
complex regarding fellow Pros publicly
demeaning any player at a major
amplifies the perception of entitlement
and arrogance that fans already resented
Kea could have vented his frustration
privately to JB or officials but mocking
him on the world stage cemented Brooks’s
image as an ego-driven star lacking
empathy and respect for peers a more
sportsmanlike response would have
mitigated a regrettable arrogance
revealing moment reason number seven his
dismissiveness of tournaments critics
also feel that kka takes an overly
dismissive attitude toward many regular
PGA Tour events he has implied he only
gears up for Majors caring little about
smaller tournaments fans see this as
disrespect toward tour history and
ironically most of the events that made
Brooks famous and Rich if not for the
tour he would have no Majors to win so
fans feel his attitude is hypocritical
it’s understandable that after winning
some Majors kka prioritizes the bigger
events but vocalizing disinterest in
run-of-the-mill tours seems misguided as
it would never be tolerated in other pro
sports leagues expressing some
enthusiasm and some gratitude for the
tournaments that Foster development
competition and exposure would show more
awareness a little less dismissiveness
would counter his elitist image all in
all these are the seven major reasons
why Brooks Kea has become one of golf’s
most notorious villains in the eyes of
fans his perceived arrogance and
Cockiness player feuds slow play fan
treatment and general attitude clearly
rub many the wrong way what do you think
of kka do fans judge him too harshly or
are their criticisms warranted as always
