Are you not in agreement that golfers had gotten vanilla and were losing the interest of fans pre Tiger?

Sure.

But I don't think that their boring, white guy personalities has much to do with the thread. I guess I'm confused where you're going with this.

Curry is so good at golf because he is so damn smooth and has such great feel. I don't think every elite athlete would translate well to golf, especially ones that don't have the body type for it. Lebron would be a terrible golfer.

I bet Odell Beckham could be really good. Patrick Peterson is really good. Its the fluid, shorter, less bulky athletes that would excel.

But in the end, golf is incredibly mental. Tiger was a great athlete and had maybe the best mental game ever at his peak. He's a very smart guy. That would be tough for some top athletes, if we're being honest.
