Tiger Woods was at its peak in 2000. Hal Sutton did not flash by beating it
Hal Sutton won the 2000 players’ championship in a dramatic manner, winning Tiger Woods head-to-head during the last lap.
- Here are 10 names in the 2025 players’ championship that most resemble names of “golf”.
- Names with Roman numbers seem more royal and adapted to golf.
- Longer names with more syllables make big names in Golfers.
Golf is a game known for being royal, the participants who correspond to the reputation of the game.
Some golfers have names that sound more “golf” than others.
Of the 144 participants in the 2025 players’ championship, I chose 10 who had names that seemed to belong to the Country Club.
Frankie Capan III
If he was just by Frankie Capan, he would not list. But when you add this Roman figure and pronounce it “the third”, it automatically becomes Royal: Franklin Capan the third. I believe that Davis Love III is the golf pioneer in this kingdom.
JT Poston
Again, on the surface, JT Poston may not cut. But when you dig more deeply and discover what the news represents, it makes more sense: James Tyree Poston. Now he’s a golfer!
Keegan Bradley
It must be the keegan. What a wonderfully unique and royal sound name. Do his friends call him kee? Or keeg? Or is it still “keegan”. Anyway, it’s a good golf name.
Jacob Bridgeman
It must be the fact that “Bridge” is part of the name. If Bridgeman was not a golfer, he might have been a lawyer. He could team up with the two previous submissions: law firms from Bridgeman, Poston and Bradley.
Taylor Pendrith
Without looking for it, I would apply that Taylor is one of the most popular names of the 21st century. However, here, it is certainly the pendrith which makes it a good name of golf. Any name that starts with “pen” and has several syllables is a good golf name: Pennington, Pendleton, Pendergast, etc. …
Harris English
The two parts of his name scream “Golf!” Harris is a common family name that takes HEFT once it becomes a first name. English is a big family name, seeming to be imported directly from the homeland of the Queen. In reality, he was born in Georgia, educated in Tennessee, and does not focus, apart from a southern Twang.
Gary Woodland
Do we still do GARYS? He certainly does not crack the 10 best boy names of 2025, according to “Thebump.com”. Anyway, Gary looks like a name that has maturity. Associate it with Woodland makes it “Golf”.
Chandler Phillips
The first person with the first name “Chandler” which I remember is the character of Matthew Perry on friends. However, his surname of Bing was false. Combining Chandler with Phillips makes a name much more worthy of golf. Say it with me: Chandler Phillips.
Trey Mullinax
I like the name Mullinax, but I knew at the bottom of “trey” was just a nickname. After deep research (ok, so I just googler), I found that his full name is Howard Travis Mullinax the third (III). He has all the big elements of a golf name. Howard, who, just like Gary is not a very fashionable name these days, looks like an old wise man (why do I imagine Howard Cunningham?); Travis is a good bridge name with two syllables; And Mullinax is an excellent pairing of letters, ending with an X. Then, to top it off, you have the very important Roman numerals indicating that it is “the third”.
Wyndham Clark
My wife and I just couldn’t agree on a name for a boy when she was pregnant. I thought that Armstrong Walters would be a solid name. I also thought that he could be Luke Skye Walters (yes, I am a little strange.) Fortunately for us, our child turned out to be a girl, and we were in agreement for his name. If I could go back in time, I would have offered Wyndham as the name of a boy. It is a majestic name. However, Wyndham Walters can look like a character from Stan Lee. Wyndham Clark, however, looks like a golf course. If I could change one thing, I could add an E after Clark, to do it Wyndham Clarke. Anyway, for me, Wyndham Clark is the most golf name in golf right now.
