Who is The Worlds Most Arrogant Golfer

In the now infamous interview that came to prominence last week Ian Poulter claimed he was the man to stop Tiger, in his own words “The trouble is, I don’t rate anyone else. Don’t get me wrong, I respect everyone who is a professional, but the problem is I know I haven’t played to my full potential yet. And when that happens it will just be me and Tiger.” Unfortunately the Dubai Classic where Poulter finished 13 shots behind Woods with 37 other players suggest his game needs a bit of work if it is to match the rhetoric.
The furore prompted a lively discussion in the Fairway Golf offices this week as we debated the merits of various golfers for the title of ‘The Worlds Most Arrogant Golfer’.
In the end we came up with a short list and decided to put it to a public vote. On the list we have 6 names as in our dictionary definition below, but remember you can add names to the ‘Fairway Vote’ on the right and you can leave comments below? Who would you pick and why?
Arrogant -
1. making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights; overbearingly assuming; insolently proud: an arrogant public official.
