He doesn't bug me in the slightest.

mikeintopeka I'd like to think I am tolerant of all persons and their mannerisms.

Me too..........except Johnny Miller.

    I’ve followed him up close a couple rounds and he is really something to see. Skinny as a rail, swings his own way, hit 300 yard cuts and flights a ball down with wedges. Such a talented player. He appears intense and emotional but I don’t ever see him cursing and throwing clubs. He like Phil does some exciting things on a golf course, I enjoy it.

    I usually root for Buba cause he's not the standard cut golfer. I like to watch Daley too for same reason. He claims he's trying to be better person, so there's that. Pretty sure both need a little extra help psychological help but then again maybe who else?😄 I'll sure not cast the first stone.

    I totally respect his game. His mannerisms irk me u guess. I'll admit that it is super fun to watch him smash drives with that crazy swing.

    He is a one of kind personality. He is one of the few guys on tour who can shape their ball either way with power and accuracy. He does not bug me, but there is something odd about him that I can't really put my finger on.

    I'm not a fan, I'll say that. Those videos of him berating his caddie over bad shots he hit got me started on thinking he was a dick. Things I've read about him since trying to be better and such have softened my stance on him, but I doubt I'll ever be a fan. And how did he get the name "Bubba"? He's the least Bubba like dude you could find. Boo Weekly could be called Bubba. Watson should be nicknamed Poindexter or something.

        I like Bubba. He's not boring to watch.

        I'm not a big fan, but like many others, I enjoy seeing him play. I suspect he may have a mild case of Ausperger's
        disease, it's a variant of autism, where the person has social awkwardness and is usually withdrawn. Just my .05
        diagnosis.

        Bubba Watson

        Things I don’t like about him-

        He’s kinda weird.
        Berates his caddie in public.
        Too emotional, gets me all teary-eyed

        Things I do like about him-

        He’s kinda weird.
        The man has unbelievable talent.
        Not afraid to show emotion.

        And Jonny Miller makes me wanna throw shit at my TV, too.........

        Bubba is a head case that's for sure. His wife has said he has attention deficit disorder. For some reason Bubba doesn't bother me. The PGA could use more diverse personalities IMO. Bubba has a good heart as they say. Years ago he got into it with Steve Elkington on the course accusing Steve of walking while Bubba was hitting.

        Saw Bubba on TV after his first Masters and he said one of the first to call him to congratulate him was Steve Elkington. Oh, and he got all teary eyed telling the story. Bubba is an anomaly on the PGA. He owns his unorthodox swing and has figured things out by himself. I like that.

          This didn't bother me. I think it's disrespectful to walk and interfere with someone's peripheral focus while they're trying to execute a shot. Although he was lambasted for his comments afterward, I can't say that I blamed him for that, even though Elkington probably didn't do it intentionally. Then again, Elkington had a reputation for being an obnoxious personality, which has been confirmed several times since then via his social media activities. So who knows...

          Bubba's complicated. Quirky... emotional... got some issues with being socially awkward as Wierfan said.

          It does sound like he was in a very dark place not all that long ago, and also encountered some health issues that he's been very hesitant to talk about. Whether it was physical, mental or both - who knows.

          He does make the Tour more interesting, as he's obviously an interesting character. And he's an unbelievable talent when he's playing well, who is self-taught, which only makes him more interesting than the cookie-cutter-swing guys on tour who show absolutely no emotion.

          Some of his criticisms are warranted, some of them not. But I do find him fun to watch when he's in contention on the weekend.

            Never pay attention to Bubba for some reason. I don’t either like or dislike him. I do kind of like Johnny Miller though.

            I always enjoy watching Bubba on the course. Incredible ability to visualize a shot and then make it happen. He obviously does have emotional control issues, but they don't appear to be of a dark nature. I would not be surprised when he was injured he was challenged to deal with it. What is apparent to me is he doesn't like all the attention and is not comfortable when the spot light is on him. Yet, he is extremely competitive and wants to win.

            I thought it was very interesting in the interview he openly expressed that at times he struggles to keep his focus on the game. If I remember correctly he spoke of his mind wandering totally away from the course and his game even as he was playing the championship round.

            What I like about Bubba is what you see and what he says are consistent. Quirky, yes, but he is willing to own it.

            Bubba has a pretty good sense of humor too,he buys the General Lee for whatever reason,
            has the coolest looking hovercraft golf cart ever and plays a pink driver.
            And I think it was in the final match against Kisner on hole 2, when someone yells "YOU'RE THE MAN"!
            Bubba says,"If I was the man I'd be in the fairway not over here in the rough"!
