Who are your best friends on Tour and what do you do together for fun? And who is your favorite guy to play a round with?
Rob Hemsen
Everyone always asks most favorite, least favorite. Who you play with is not really that important. Everyone wants to play with someone who's a fun, friendly guy, someone who doesn't play slow. I like playing with Jay Haas and Jeff Sluman. Late on Sunday I want to be playing with Tiger because he's usually leading the damn tournament.
My closest friends in the whole wide world people I would turn to for advice about life would be people that aren't on the PGA Tour. I consider a lot of people friends on Tour: Justin Leonard, Phil M., Tiger Woods, Jeff Sluman, Dudley Hart, Tim Herron, all those guys are friends. I usually see them in practice rounds or hanging out in the locker room. My wife and kids travel with me, and I spend a lot of time [with them]. If my family isn't traveling with me, [my Tour friends] and I will try to get away from golf and blow off some steam. Have dinner, go to the movies.
