Not since Steven Seagal has a middle-aged man made a ponytail look so damn cool. Lofting his tee shot up and over the pin, Jimenez started shouting at his ball in Spanish, before dog-whistling it all the way back down towards the cup. He struts. You cannot enjoy them if you rush them, no? You cannot enjoy life if you rush. He never rushes anything, he savors everything. He just inhales life, and he exudes it.
Fond spectator and student of the game. Always on the look out for a winner. Proud owner of a 'caveman' swing and some of the worst attire ever donned on a golf course. Miguel is cool. I stretch and take life slow after racing through much of if. So the nickname functions in two ways.
And a third: Some might say Jimenez looks more like a stereotypical mechanic than a stereotypical pro golfer. Why it's here: Jimenez's nicknames are both unique and memorable, just like the golfer. We're getting into the portion of the list where nicknames strike at the hearts of these pros. Why it's a good nickname: Anyone who watches Angel Cabrera lumber the fairways of the PGA Tour can see that the affable Argentinian waddles like a duck.
It's a great characterization and one that Cabrera seems to embrace. And it sounds better in Spanish. Why it's here: It's impossible to know Cabrera's nickname and see him lumbering along and not think of it. That's the hallmark of a sticky nickname. Thus, it's safe to say he's embraced the nickname that has followed him for most of his golfing life. It's a good nickname of the "descriptive adjective" variety. Why it's here: The same as with Cabrera, except Herron is a less accomplished golfer.

So named because, well, he looks like a walrus. Hence, Kevin, who is a bit smaller than his father, is a "small walrus" or "smallrus. Why it's here: The nickname is almost a necessary evil when your father is The Walrus.
It's really a perfect nickname, in a sense. Why it's a good nickname: John Daly is golf's resident wild child, although he's toned things down in recent years. Check out the video above for one of his greatest hits. He is touted as naturally gifted and by all accounts, he is one of the greatest golfers in the world. Vail, who looped for Brandt Snedeker for 12 years on the PGA Tour, is on the bag for European stalwart Henrik Stenson this week at the Hero World Challenge, and Stenson confirmed earlier this week that the partnership will continue into Jimenez currently has the Ping G Plus driver in the bag as well as G fairway woods.

He likes his cigars big and juicy, generally a 52 to 56 ring. They had worked together for 10 years but both parties recognised they had gone as far as they could go.
Clarke, 52 and not, shall we way, in fighting trim, is one of the few senior players who uses a golf cart to ferry himself around the golf course. The affable Northern Irishman, the hole co-leader, shot a final-round eight-under-par 64 to win the first senior event of Unlike typical professions where the employer will either front the bill or charge the expenses back to the company itself, professional golfers have to pay their own way.
No matter the tour or circuit one plays on, all professional golfers must pay for the bulk, if not all, of their own expenses. The reasons for their split are unconfirmed, but the feelings are strong.
