Rory Named Most-Hated Tour Pro - LITE

👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},

Good evening! Surprising as it may sound to many of you, Rory McIlroy, winner of six majors and one of the handful of golfers to know the feeling of a career grand slam, finds himself at the top of a list he would rather not. The list includes some usual suspects and also some surprising names. You will find all the details below and also an update on Jackson Koivun, Tiger Woods’s unusual swing routine, and more.

Let’s tee it up…

A new survey has revealed some curious details about how fans think about pros.
