Bubba is good for the game. He’s a real character whose feelings are written all over his face. He is a risk taker with a flair for the dramatic. He’s also the longest hitter and the best shot shaper since Trevino. He’ll be great for the ratings because he’s so entertaining.

A great win for Bubba!I enjoy watching him play and it’s about time people realized he really can play golf. Love his character on the course and his love of life, family and God off the course. Keep it up Bubba!

Bubba wears his emotions all over his face. He ‘goes for it’ in the spirit of Arnold Palmer. Plus, Bubba is a brother in Christ. He’s exciting to watch and brings a much needed dimension to the PGA Tour. Congratulations Bubba on another win and your finest year yet on the PGA tour!

Bubba will be remembered by PGA fans not about
his golf game ( he’s great ) but rather as a role
model where his greatest impact will be felt in
the years to come…

Mark Wilson has not gotten the credit he deserves this year. Continued ‘good luck’ to him and I hope he wins again.
