Last week ESPN.com published the results of a survey it had conducted with 103 tour pros.

This survey contained various questions about some of the hottest topics in the game, including a roundabout way of asking tour professionals who they most dislike out on tour.

Watson being ranked by his peers as the most disliked player on tour may have surprised some casual golf fans, but it was not the slightest bit surprising to those of us that have followed the game closely for many years.

While Watson may come across as a fun-loving, big kid-type character while in front of the camera, he can quickly turn into the most ornery, rabbit eared golfer to walk ...
