A joke in bad taste. Player is a public figure who has made it his life's work to promote nutrition and physical fitness. His outspoke nature benefits this cause.

IMO, Immelman probably has the most perfect double shift swing i have ever seen. I would say at times he can swing a bit too far down the line which will lead to his fair shares of heavy draws and/or hooks.
BUT
When he's swinging it well, i really feel it's the best i've ever seen. I've alwayson wondered why he never won more often before now. I'd have to look up the stats but maybe he isn't the best putter.

Guys, I'm not saying Immelman is bad, I just think it's a little "over the top" for player to be comparing him to Hogan. Not just Hogan, but Nicklaus, Snead, Palmer, Trevino, or any of the other greats.
Immelman is currently 40th in Greens in reg this year and was 66th last year. Solid, but let's not throw him in there with the all time greats yet.
Player has been an awesome ambassador for the game, but he does exaggerate. I also think his steroid comment was over the top.
I forgot Harrington also recently won a major, he might have a chance at becoming a multiple time major winner as well.

I'll say it again--his control of direction is great. His control of distance, is pretty good, but not up to snuff with someone like Tiger, who's control of direction is pretty good (can be very iffy with the driver) but whose distance control is amazing. I think that's where most of the praise about Trevor's ball-striking comes from. And yes, Player did not compare Immelman to Hogan on the basis of the ball-striking, but on the look of the swing.
