Heard Alan Shipnuck being interviewed and he said Bryson never had any friends on the PGA Tour. His late father said he never embraced team sports because he couldn't understand why everyone didn't give the effort he gave.
It's a reason he gravitated towards golf. But now playing on LIV he's forced to play on a team and has finally made friends. He's certainly made a personality change for the better. Plus making content on YouTube he's remade himself.
Also, Bryson blew off the winner of a tournament on the green awhile back and caught hell for it. Some would say the reason Rickie hasn't won a Major is because he's too nice.
I'd like to see Rickie with a little more fire in his gut. But it's hard to change one's stripes so to speak. The killer instinct is hard to artificially manufacture.
