Golf’s 10 Most Hated Players in 2026: Did Fans Get It Wrong?

Who are the most hated golfers of 2026, and does this controversial ranking make any sense?

Golf Digest highlighted a RotoWire survey ranking the ten most disliked players across professional golf. We break down every name on the list, including Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Cantlay, Matt Kuchar, Sergio García, Billy Horschel, and Tyrrell Hatton.

From LIV Golf controversy and Ryder Cup drama to rules penalties, slow play, angry outbursts, and damaged reputations, we discuss why each golfer made the ranking and reveal which players we believe are placed far too high or far too low.

Do you agree with Patrick Reed at No. 1? Does Rory McIlroy belong anywhere near the top three? Leave your own top five in the comments and tell us which player does not belong on this list.

Is LIV Golf Finally Falling Apart?

LIV Golf shook up professional golf with massive Saudi-backed contracts, huge tournament purses, big-name players, and a completely different style from the traditional PGA Tour. But now the future of LIV Golf may be in serious trouble.

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we discuss the rise of LIV Golf, the Saudi Public Investment Fund backing, the players who took the money, the PGA Tour reaction, and whether golfers like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Sergio Garcia, and others should be allowed back into the PGA Tour fold.

Was LIV Golf good for the sport? Did the PGA Tour have the right to push back? And what happens to the players if the money dries up?

Drop your thoughts in the comments: Should LIV golfers be welcomed back, punished, or forced to earn their way in?
