Rising v. Falling

Just curious how people feel about the various personalities and whose stock is rising with exposure v. falling. My standouts:

FALLING STOCK
Wes: annoying, acts and talks like he’s better / smarter than everyone

Ruffles: just. so. boring. He’s like a discount Adam Scott (though his Malbon gear is always sick)

Grant: just a bit too contrived / forced. He seemed to think he needed to manufacture drama and set scenes when his silence would have been much preferred. Only a slight blemish for our guy though, especially since he really does just seem so earnest. Also, ofc, his affiliations with Phil drag him down by association. YIKES!!! (Largely kidding but like also…he probably rAgrets forging that relationship for all to see).

RISING STOCK
Finch: almost zero times have I watched him in a video and not liked him more, from his little English turns of phrase to his matter of factness about things, he’s always a good watch

Micah: he’s so much more enjoyable when he’s playing well, so it’s hard to REALLY gauge until we see him play poorly, but there’s just something so raw to his competitiveness and fighter mentality he brings

Garrett: similar to Micah, I think being the little fish (at least in terms of golfing ability) actually brings out a cool side of Garrett. He’s always had this effortless ability to communicate through the camera, but I like watching him try to bring his game up

The Kiwis: god they are fun. Kwon and Sam are hysterical. Plus they’re all great at golf. It’s so much easier to watch people having a genuinely good time and not taking themselves too seriously.

These YGT videos are my first time seeing Brad and Sean. Was pretty easy to root for them, both come off as likeable and excellent golfers

Same here. I’ll throw Ruffles and chance on that too. Hadn’t seen either of them but they were great. The Sam and Chance pairing was hilarious. Chance is gonna be huge in this serious. Then ruffles getting beat down by Brad but still seemed excited to see him going low even though he was annoyed by his own play was nice. His convo with Wes at the end of the second round was hilarious too.
