Adam Scott - Hot or Not?

Adamscott OK, there's no denying the beauty of his Tiger inspired swing, and we now know he can sink a 49 foot birdie putt when the need arises, but in the wake of his playoff win yesterday at the Byron Nelson, one burning question remains about Australian golfer Adam Scott:  Is he hot or not? 

This is a legitimate concern in light of the fact that lately, he's being touted as Tiger's top challenger.  If that's the case we should at least agree on his hottness level.

A couple of months ago I responded to a post by the bloggers over at oobgolf in which they presented  their female readers with this glamourous photo of Mr. Scott as a token eye-candy offering.

Though I appreciated the gesture  --after all photos of Natalie Gulbis are often presented to male readers for the same benevolent reason-- I argued that Adam Scott was simply not the type of guy most women found sexy.  The  smoldering sales pitch and cosmetically enhanced metrosexual persona, while pretty, simply does not resonate with the majority of women. Am I right?

Anyway, I was of course, asked to suggest a golfer I thought would be more appropriate, eye-candy wise, and I came up with fellow Australian Geoff Ogilvy, my theory being that women tend to prefer a cute, cuddly guy over a slick, polished one.  To that another commentor suggested that if I wanted cuddly I should probably opt for a shirtless John Daly. Hmmm, no, not at all what I had in mind, so you see...we do have a problem here, and now that the outback boy is so assertively on the rise, we need to decide.

Is Adam Scott hot or not?

Let me know what you think, is Adam eye-candy...yes or no?   BTW, I've already got one vote of yes from tennis champion Maria Sharapova who said she'd like to have Mr. Scott as a doubles partner in a "night match".

(Note: I realize this post is a tad bit frivilous and superficial but it's a dark, cold, rainy Monday so frivilous and superficial are just what I need)

white hot!

I have to agree that I don't like Adam Scott in that over-styled photo but on the golf course especially when he demonstrates that beautiful swing ...he's hot.

I am one of your male readers, so I don't know much about Adam Scott being hot. I will however tell you that Pat and Cat are very much so!

Definitely hot, but agree, not so much in the photo as on the course in a baseball cap! That being said, I do think Geoff Ogilvy is hot too...
