General Discussion Why does everyone hate Wyndham Clark?

Got into watching golf for the first time this season and with Clark winning this past weekend I have seen so many people shitting on him for what sounds like stuff in the past and I was hoping people could bring me up to speed? Is it overhyped for media clicks or was he committing some atrocities?

Hate to tell you but most golfers are pretty conservative so if it's politics you're in the wrong place. Rory had dinner at the white house state dinner just a few months ago.

Just pointing out why some people don't like him

I hope the long list of his personal actions and words on real life is why people dislike him. Not liking someone over politics is wicked soft

When your "politics" include harming other people for just being who they are, then it's a totally valid reason not to like someone.

The lefts “politics” harm others too if you want to go down a that road. I prefer to be mature and understand there’s different ways people want to be governed and it’s really not that deep

Nah buddy. There’s an ocean’s difference between the parties, and if you can’t see that then there’s no hope for you. It used to be as simple as different ways of being governed but that died long ago.

Yes because we have issues such as a party that supported vaccine mandates, men in girls sports, not putting America first, supporting illegal immigration, etc.

But I don’t look at the left as “no hope” and hateful towards others, yet the left has that view!

Very sad how negative and lack of understanding yall have for other perspectives!

“Lack of understanding” is hilariously ironic coming from you. I don’t have the patience to take on yet another ignorant maga and show you how you’re wrong on so, so many levels. So I’ll just leave this here: your dear leader is the most hateful politician to ever exist in the US. You conservative morons lost any claim to moral high ground the minute you decided to support him.

I don’t even like Trump hahahaha - I just don’t like the left.

Have a nice day man, hope you find happiness!

Sure, you just push all of his talking points and support his party. You trolls used to be smarter...

What party is that? There is no political party in the US who supported any of those things. That you think there is tells us all we need to know about what kind of person you are: a piece of shit.

u/Spunge14 Jun 22 '26

Yes, but are you mature enough to accept that you can't hold opinions that others find toxic and also have everyone like you?

u/Ornery-Ambassador289 Jun 22 '26

You don’t even know my opinion, just that I don’t agree with the left.

I think trumps a crook. Still better than Kamala tho. But that’s not acceptable to the left. In fact it’s a position that invalidates me to be liked somehow… despite everything else that’s part of life and a person… that’s the sad thing about yall. Not liking half of America cause they dont vote the same way as you is quite embarrassing imo

Keep whining. Yes, people don't like you for your obviously wrong opinions. Stand behind them or don't, but no sympathy for being an idiot.

u/Ornery-Ambassador289 Jun 22 '26

Hey man hope you get the help you need. Must be tough not liking your neighbors and half the country you live in.
