Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4226869, member: 1969"] The next big event at Bethpage is in 2025 (I think) so he will have to wait a while! I would argue the fact that Phil was beloved at Bethpage Black. and seen as a great guy, was an indication of the fans inability to read the room -- an inability to read who Phil actually was off the course and what others pros thought about him (especially at the time of the first Bethpage major where Phil was clearly in the FIGJAM phase). Phil's a historically great golfer, an entertaining golfer to watch, and has charisma. And if people want to cheer him on for that, that is perfectly fine. That being said way too many people thought (or still think) he is a great guy. We now have the Saudi incident and his turn on the players committee, the gambling/insider trading stuff, the Tom Watson incident, the "FIGJAM" stuff, his defence of bankers involved in 2008 who were his friends.
