Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy & Nelly Korda Fall Out of Min Woo Lee’s Favor as 44YO Legend Wins His Admiration

Min Woo Lee, the 26-year-old Australian golfer, recently made headlines when he named Adam Scott, the 44-year-old legend, as the player with the “sweetest swing” in golf. This surprising choice came in a Golf Digest video, where Lee ranked ten golfers based on their swing.

Scott, a fellow Aussie and 2013 Masters Champion, claimed the top spot, surpassing fan favorites like Rory McIlroy, Nelly Korda, and Bryson DeChambeau. McIlroy took second place, followed by Lee’s sister, Minjee Lee, in third.

Korda, Åberg, Woods, DeChambeau, Scheffler, and Lexi Thompson all made the list, with Lee humorously reserving the seventh spot for himself.

Despite the talent in the field, Lee’s admiration for Scott’s swing isn’t surprising. Adam Scott’s swing has long been lauded as one of the most graceful and technically sound in the sport, often described as “poetry in motion.”

While swings like McIlroy’s powerful, balanced approach or Korda’s fluidity are celebrated, for Lee, Scott’s motion stands above the rest. This ranking has sparked lively debate among fans, with many questioning if personal bias played a role. However, given Scott’s reputation, it’s hard to argue against Lee’s top pick.
