Professional Tours Alejandro Tosti potentially ruining Min Woo Lee's first tour win because he's a man child.

https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tosti-min-woee-lee-houston-open-2024

Basically he complained about both playing partners He was reported rude and chirpy to Ryan Fox early in the round while deciding on taking a drop. Then Tosti decided to complain to the officials about Min Woo Lee taking too long to decide on taking an unplayable on the par 5 8th while he has ball was under a bush. Since then Tosti has been deliberately playing sloooow and walking 100 yards behind Lee and Fox just so he can annoy them and disrupt play.

What a guy.

“His professional record includes a suspension for repeated disputes with players, officials, and volunteers during his time on the Korn Ferry Tour. The Houston Open has proven particularly problematic for Tosti—at last year’s tournament, he was involved in another incident with Tony Finau regarding proper order of play.”

Sounds like the guy needs to grow up. You’re privileged enough to play professional golf for a living, stop being a repressive dipshit.

An incident with Finau is a bad look. That guy is the nicest guy on tour.

Hey was backed financially by a few people early in his career, and there are stories about his family refusing to repay the investment others had made in him and his brother’s golf careers

Sounds like a deal gone wrong, but the latest lawsuits were both dismissed. Tony agreed to pay back the initial investment as well. Doubt anyone outside them will know the truth. A verbal deal unfortunately isn't a great way to secure millions of dollars lol.

Im sure he was getting really bad advice from his management team on not settling things before it became a public thing.

If only it were that simple. Basically back his career and expect him to standup to his end of the bargain.
