I think he's false. This whole man of the people/Captain America persona is a real false image, let's not forget he was disliked before LIV, disliked for going to LIV and it's pure PR from his management team to get him big on YouTube to win back popularity. I don't buy this interaction with the fans either, it's forced, it wasn't there yesterday when he wasn't doing well and he was back to the Bryson we knew.
I credit him/his team for turning the image around, he may have the wool over some eyes, but certainly not mine. He's box office no doubt, he's a brilliant golfer, but the man of the people? Not a chance.
