10 Professional Golfers to Follow on Twitter & Why.

Here is a list of the top 20 professional golfers you should be following on twitter. Now, I always thought Twitter was a pretty useless app but after reading this article about How to Use Twitter to get a better understanding of how to make it work for me not against me I was quickly hooked. Now it battles my Facebook homepage as my morning first visit. Check out the list, I was a little disappointed overall that we don’t have Tiger or Phil on the list (not that they would post anything as funny as @THE_REAL_SHAQ would) so I’ll leave the list open to edit recommendations and make changes over time. Feel free to add others in the comments section.

1. John Daly – www.twitter.com/PGA_JOHNDALY // Long John is currently a feel good comeback story posting about writing songs with Hank Williams daughter… However I remember long John when he was in the news for drugs, alcohol, and gambling additions. That’s a triple threat and the reason he is the top professional golfer on Twitter. I am following him for sure!
2. Ian Poulter – www.twitter.com/ianjamespoulter // He tweets from the course. Sometimes posting pictures from the tee. Very cool, very interesting if it weren’t for Daly, Ian Poulter would be the top professional golfer on Twitter.
3. Stewart Cink – www.twitter.com/StewartCink // His latest post ”Today I have been a good boy who does as he is told. Guess why I’m a good boy today, and you win two dozen Nike One Tour D’s..” Need I say more?
4. Stuart Appleby – www.twitter.com/StuartAppleby // Stuart makes the list simply because he has (at the time of posting) over 5,000 followers and he’s only following 5 people. Making him the most conceded professional golfer on twitter since he cares about himself over others at a ratio of 1000 to 1. Good for you Stuart!
5. Susan Choi, Kate Miller & Amber Pranger – www.twitter.com/GolfProGirls // Their background pictures are ridiculous. 1 part sexy golf girl 1 part old non-flattering high-school pics. Plus, 3 for 1 deal with this follow so I’m in.
6. Davis Love III – www.twitter.com/Love3D // On the list because he has the best @ name @Love3D oh yeah.
7. Anika Sorenstam – www.twitter.com/Annika59 // 10 Major LPGA wins, 72 LPGA wins overall and over 22 million in career earnings. She’s gotta be considered the first lady of golf. This is why I follow Anika Sorenstam on Twitter.
8. Michelle Wie – www.twitter.com/TheMichelleWie // In 2006 she was named by TIME Magazine as ‘one of 100 people who shape our world’. Hmmm… I can’t say she’s shaped my world other than by making this list because I remember a while back that she was being hyped as much as Lebron James coming out of high school.
9. Natalie Gulbis – www.twitter.com/natalie_gulbis // She was on The Apprentice, I remember Trump liked her a lot for reasons other than her project management. She seemed nice, she’s a professional golfer on Twitter, so, she makes the list.
10. Kristy McPherson – www.twitter.com/Kristy2208 // She says ‘Holla’ an awful lot, she was on the big break IV, and she has a terribly bad website complete with creapy music. I think Twitter was invented so I would even think twice about ‘following’ someone like LPGA pro Kristy McPherson.

I was originally going to make this the top 20 professional golfers on Twitter but frankly  got bored at 10. I credit that to the lack of pro golfing personalities on Twitter and not my addiction to Tiger Woods golf on Wii. As I mentioned above feel free to add more to the comments.

UPDATE // I completely forgot Go Daddy Girl Anna Rawson on Twitter – www.twitter.com/TheAnnaRawson // Shame on me. You can get even more by visiting annarawson.com
