Jealousy thy name is criticizer. None of you jerks who write ugly things about Phil can hold candle to him. He is rich ,talented and very nice and generous. I once saw him hand over his Rolex watch to a guy he beaned with his ball at a tournament, another time he handed 3 100 dollar bills to a a guy he hit with his ball. Ever see Tiger do that? No.Phil just won a little over a million dollars for his spectacular golf today, any of you ever do that? No so shut the F up/ Phil rules.

"Hefty" needs to lose some weight....hate to see it if he was playing a real sport where you have to exert yourself.

Daniel Matthews - you can golf with Phil from here to eternity, but until he loses about 50 pounds, he's a fat slob...

I live in Tampa which is not all that far from Doral. The weather here has been ideal for golf for the past couple of weeks. Phil needs to drop about 50 pounds and get in shape! He should come down and play in the summer when both the temperatute and humidity are in the mid 90's if he wants to experience heat.
