Thomas Pieters achieved international recognition after his storming performance at last year’s Ryder Cup. His 4-1-0 showing was the only glimmer of light in a horror week for the Europeans. Not only is the “Belgian Bomber” the complete golfer, he’s the proud partner of Eva Bossaerts.
Eva hails from the same city as Pieters, and maintains a very low profile. She accompanied him to the start of last year’s Ryder Cup, mixing it up with the wives and girlfriends of both teams. If you needed anymore proof that golfers are sport’s greatest overachievers…
Pollyanna Woodward
Polly is engaged to Paul Casey, the slightly awkward Englishman found form at the end of last year, not to mention the day he met Polly.
Richelle Badelley
Aaron, famed for his devotion to Jesus, must have had his prays answered when Richelle came along.
Liz Estes
Bob Estes isn't a household name, but charisma and four PGA TOUR wins was enough to court his smoking Mrs.
Kate Aiken
Thomas Aiken has a career best world ranking of 73rd. He would be much higher if the list was based on successful courtship.

Romelu Lukaku to Arsenal
The Arsenal fans call for a striker will finally be answered. Everton continue to underperform, but the can't be said for Lukaku, who has been involved in eight of Everton's 13 goals this season. It is often entertaining to hear the chant of "Spend some f**king money!" echoing around the Emirates every transfer window, but in the case of Romelu Lukaku, Wenger has no excuse. He's a proven, multi-dimensional goalscorer who has been excellent every year in the Premier League, from West Brom to Everton. Lukaku deserves to be competing at the highest level, and right now, Everton can't offer that. Why did Chelsea let him go!?
Alex Song
Alex Song gained inspiration from a trip to McDonald's and ordering a large fry. Alex Song knew his career was about to nosedive when he pulled off this look. You can see in his face that he knows he fucked up, but it's too late to do anything about it. Can't decide whether Song's or Fellaini's hair is worse. Source: Twitter
Maroune Fellaini
I have never been a fan of the brutish Belgian and this haircut just makes him look like a dirty q-tip. Whoever let Fellaini do this to his head must not like him as much as I do. Source: Twitter
Samir Nasri
To be completely polically correct, you can assume this one's gender. The Frenchman's attempt at going blonde ended up being grey. Not the first time, he failed at doing something though; his attempt at a football career in Manchester landed him in Sevilla. Source: Twitter

Taylor Dowd Simpson
She has been there from the very start. This is them at college.
Golf is a dangerous spectator sport, a fact not helped by the behaviour of certain professionals, as Shane Lowry was quick to point out during last week’s Genesis Open:
“What’s it gonna take for players to start shouting fore. A signed ball or glove is no good to anyone if they are seriously injured???”
It wasn’t difficult to see which golfer the Irishman was targeting; Pat Perez failed to shout “fore” on three separate occasions at the Riviera Country Club. It was a disgraceful showing of selfishness. Choosing to benefit from the cushion of an unaware gallery is one of the most callous acts in professional golf, and it’s endemic. Tiger Woods was a longstanding beneficiary of the “spectator wall,” choosing to withdraw the venom from his hooks by keeping his mouth firmly closed.

Pieters doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with this bunch. The affable Belgian was clearly distressed when he discovered the victim of his errant drive was his number one fan, girlfriend Eva. The aftermath was caught on camera, with a mortified Pieters taking the time to console his girlfriend. The nearby fan backed away and told Pieters “that is awesome,” the 25-year-old pro responded in the most respectful way possible: “No.”
