The PGA has more born-again fundies & Christian nationalists than any other sport, and they are more likely to throw their "faith" in your face than other Christian athletes.

Simpson, alongside Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar and Zach Johnson, props a quartet of born-again Christians who sustain a rich seam of evangelism in this competition, manifested most vividly when former captain Tom Lehman decided to wear a bracelet marked WWJD -- 'What would Jesus do?' The rump of America's established golf constituency can roughly be summarised thus: ardently Republican, gun-toting good ol' boys whose political inclinations make Mitt Romney look like Woody Guthrie.
So overwhelmingly right-wing is the make-up that Padraig Harrington, an Irish Democrat by nature, once told me there was nobody on Tour with whom he could sensibly debate the state of the nation. It is the naked religiosity of many US golfers, though, that can occasionally grate.
When the Lehman-led Ryder Cup brigade descended upon the K Club in 2006, CBS commentator David Feherty suggested: "I think a lot of Europeans find that conservative Christian thing as frightening as conservative Muslims."
The invocation of God, by Simpson and those of similar conviction, is relentless. In the aftermath of a victory last summer in North Carolina, Simpson declared: "I'd be stupid not to thank my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, because it was tough out there and I was nervous." Johnson, likewise, chose the moment of his Masters triumph in 2007 to offer this: "It being Easter, my goal was to glorify God, and I hope that I did that today."
