I don't think its image as much as it is his golf. He is a better player now than he was when he joined LIV. He is the one guy who has unquestionably improved at LIV. Brooks is the same caliber player that he was but the rest have either regressed or just gotten too old. For whatever reason, Bryson is significantly better now than he was when he won at Winged Foot.

Of course, then this happens. Bryson's agent got in a public shouting match with a Golf Channel reporter (Damom Hack).

To be fair Bryson himself was not involved in this, but agents should never ever make headlines. Not like this.

Golf channel probably felt entitled to Bryson's time after shitting on him for a year. The golf channel needs Bryson, Bryson has figured out he doesn't need the golf channel as Youtube is way more powerful

Jesus that was an impossibly hard shot he hit on 18. Deserved that win.

No doubt he has reinvented himself for the better. I’ve always liked him I’m good with somebody doing it their own way. He’s arguably the most talented golfer in the world right now.

The media backed by the PGA tour made him the Vivian according to them. The people who like Phil before still like Phil now . Don’t let the media dictate your perception

Brandel Chamblee couldn’t say enough negative things about Bryson’s use of his driver and hitting into native areas. I wish someone would have disagrees with him since Bryson obviously was making it work.

He’s the most interesting dude we’ve had in golf in a long time. Quirky, tricked up clubs, joking around with the gallery. He’s an open book emotions wise.

He is fantastic for the game of golf, and now maybe a goldmine for LIV.

Guy used to bug the hell out of me but Impossible not to like him these days.

His saves all weekend were incredible to watch.

Watching him live off the tee box is boner inducing.

He’s really the only current top American golfer with any personality at all. I think that’s a big part of it.

Max Homa has a good personality but he’s never really in contention.

His interaction with the handicapped kid after he birdied 10 was fantastic. I don't know how you can see that and not like the guy.

Rory gave him a hug and then a ball yesterday as well and we have no problem not liking him

I’m pretty sure that kid is well known by the players and goes to many events

I like the pool of players we have now. Sheffler is dry, Rory has some quirks and is forced to be the face of the PGA. Finau, Sahith, Shauffele, Homa, Fleetwood, are fun to watch as well as many others on the tour now. Bryson was kinda arrogant early but seems to have re-invented himself by endearing himself with the media and crowds. Jus leave Fatrick Reed over there, about the only thing I like about LIV

He also has a strong YouTube presence which helps a lot IMO


He seems like a really good dude on his YouTube channel. Of course I have never met the guy.

It was also fun seeing Scheffler getting bent out of shape and throwing a club.

He didn't make it work. He was +1 yesterday and by far his worst performance of the week. It took Rory making bogey at 15, 16, and 18 for him to win the tournament. If Bryson plays Sunday like he had the prior 3 days, he wins running away like he did at Winged Foot. Bryson got lucky yesterday.
