Top Five Ranked Table Tennis Playing Golfers Released

It’s just a bit of fun is Ping Pong.  Or is it?

With rain delays and long down times now par for the course at Tour events, the table tennis table has become the scene of many a testosterone fuelled battle between bored golfers.  Whilst new arrivals to the table coming every year, the world’s top five golfing ping pong players is beginning to take shape.

Here’s my read on it.

Rank 5: Tiger Woods

tt tigerMore than all the other guys, Tiger plays in his spare time.  He’s far to preoccupied with the sport at which he makes a living to practice table tennis, but when he picks up the bat is a natural.  Urban legend tells of a furious row between Tiger and Phil after a table of food got in the way during a crucial point in a match.  Nudges out Jason Day for fifth.

 

Rank 4: Sergio Garcia

tt sergioProbably the fittest of all the players, Garcia takes every ball early with a very aggressive top spin style.  It can work great in some circumstances, it can be his greatest weakness in others.

 

Rank 3: Phil Mickelson

tt philNot the most agile of players, but certainly one of the most skilful. Has done to Tiger on the table tennis table what Tiger has done to him on the golf course.  A natural.  Mickelson even had a ping pong table sent to the last Callaway photo shoot in the desert to practice between takes.

 

Rank 2: Matt Kuchar

tt kuchOne of the enduring greats on the table tennis table over the past 10 years on the PGA Tour.  When people even hear that Matt Kuchar is in the clubhouse playing table tennis, they run in to watch.  Sponsors such as BMW have even brought in professionals on occasion at tournament to play Kuch as a publicity stunt.  Has the measure of everyone bar one with paddle in hand. Played US Olympian Timothy Wang in 2013.

 

Rank 1: Freddie Jacobson

tt freddieThe undisputed king of the rain delay, The Yak was an international standard junior in Sweden and loves to pick up the paddle and annihilate all around him.  Freddie did admit that Matt Kuchar took a lead on him ONCE, but he rallied to win pretty comfortably in the end.
