Is Vijay Singh a dick?

Vijay Singh's caddy, Dave Renwick, is taking a break from schlepping for Vijay.

"I just wasn't happy with the ways things were going or the way I was getting treated, " Renwick said. "I never got a 'Good morning,' or 'Good club' after a shot, or 'Have a nice night' at the end of the day. It was either nothing or a negative if he did speak to me."

I don't think Vijay is a dick, I think Dave Renwick is a complete moron and a baby. Dave, you work for Vijay, that is it, you should do your damn job and enjoy the big fat checks you were taking home. He is your friggin employer, he pays you to work for him. No where in the employee, employer relationship does it state that you also have to be friends or have a personal relationship.

How stupid is Dave Renwick? How do you leave the number one player in the world because he didn't say good morning? Are you that hard-up for friends?

This move is as smart as Phil Mickelson switching to Callaway during the middle of the best year of his career last year. It's like wiping your ass before you take a dump. It just makes no sense. No Three Putts is back, beyotch.

Welcome back!

I agree with your take on this. Besides, people who quit are typically bitter and exaggerate anyway. Fuggem.

And, though I don't like Vijay winning tournaments, it's great to see him win his SECOND of the year WITHOUT Renwick. Heh heh heh.

Welcome back man.

From what I've read, Vijay is a dick. In fact, I think that label applies to most of the top golfers. The only cool dude in the top 10 seems to be Ernie.

ok, the idea that an individual shoould keep a job they dislike just cuz the check is good seems odd to me. If Veejay's caddy didn't like the way he was being treated and wanted to quit, he should do so. This doesn't make him an idiot necessarily.

Hey "No Three Putts" - people are human and deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Doesn't matter whether you are cleaning their house,car or caddying. Not too hard to understand - just because you are paying them doesn't mean you can't say hello in the morning or thank you at some time. Get it.

Sorry 3-putt, but you're a clueless dick yourself. Common courtesy is something every human being deserves, regardless of the paycheck. Singh is an abuser of people that doesn't deserve the plenty he has. If there was justice in the world, he'd be the one with vertigo, and Duval would be the one on top.

Appears Phil's decision wasn't so bad, huh?

Vijay doesnt have to say hello or good morning. Renwick is his employee. the fact is that Vijay wants to remain at the top, he's not Rich Beem. He is maybe a little to serious on the course, but that doesn't make him a dick.Fultom Allen is a DICK.

I have been playing Golf, and following golf all my life. I love it. Regular joe on the golf course does like to be bothered. People get pissed of if you talk, walk, smile....Now think about a guy earning his living by playing golf.

People keep complaining about Vijay Singh, but I do not understand the reasons. Golf is his job and he loves it. Just because he doesn't smile at you or say hello, doesn't mean he his a dick. Most of his haters should ask themselves why they hate him? Is it because he voiced his opinion on Annika playing @colonial? All he said was she is taking some poor guys spot who slogged his balls to make a living by sleeping in a car in the golf course parking lot for weeks. Where as Annika, by the way has millions of $$$$$$, wants to play with boys to get some more endorsements and make more money. Vijay Singh knows all about struggles to make living. Thats a reason he was speaking for the golfers who do not have forum or voice and no body cares even if they speak. I heard that Vijay helps lot of young golfers by giving them advice and some times with money...( Jim Thorpe said in his interview in one of the magazines). But one thing Vijay should do is open up to the people. Some how and somewhere he lost faith in media.

Just who are all these guys who comment anyway???

What do you really know about the pros??

I mean, that crap about Vijay making his wife walk 5 steps behind - what utter crap!!

I see all sorts of vicious characterizing here and it's pathetic. How easy to dump all over people and repeat stupid lies. How about you guys going out there and doing stuff and having a thousand people a day coming at you with venom..and staying cool and polite to everyone..How about you guys doing something, period.

And don't believe everything you read..the load that people make up or distort..

Just disgusted..

I love Vijay Singh, he is not a dick.

Vijay is not a dick! He is probably the best ball striker in the game by far!

He does putt like a complete fucking asshole and maybe should stop hitting some many balls and practice putting. His fucking putting sucks.

Renwick is a complete moron for losing the sack of money he was collecting each year.

The only fucking "dicks" out there are that selfious whining prick Tiger Woods and that arrogant little scumbag Rory Sabbatini.

Fuck both of them.
