Message: [QUOTE="Jerry1714, post: 2293327, member: 3035"] I did not compare him to Tiger, no one is close Tiger, nor will anyone probably ever be in terms of popularity. UA does not sell golf equipment, they sell clothing, and at the time they signed Spieth their biggest golfer was Hunter Mahan. Yes, Hunter Mahan. UA went all in, and was right, on Spieth because he was young and a huge name in terms of potential when he turned pro so they tried to make a splash. Again, it worked. By any measure, whether it be social media followers or interactions, fans at tournaments, ect. there are 3 players who dominate others and its Rickie, Rory, and Jordan. Phil is obviously massively popular as well but he is on the back end of his career. [/QUOTE]
