Colorado Springs - The Broadmoor Hotel Bar's Tobacco Query
Miguel Angel Jimenez, the most intriguing chap at the U.S. Senior Open this year, finds himself in a smoky predicament.
Is it cool to light up a stogie around him, wonders the bar at The Broadmoor Hotel. You see, ol' Miguel's a fan of the Cuban smoke and Bushmills whiskey - two delightful vices that add to his charming, rebellious flair on the golf course.
His fluffy, orange-and-gray ponytail, frazzled from years on the fairway, is his trademark. The tat on his arm that simply reads "Son" tells you he's got a soft side too. No wonder his mascot, Thunder from the Denver Broncos, digs the guy.
Born on the 5th of January, 1964, in sunny Churriana, Málaga, Spain, Miguel's been gracing the greens for quite some time now. He's a professional golfer with an impressive career, but it's his distinctive lifestyle that sets him apart from the ordinary golfers out there.
When asked about what makes him unique, Miguel simply states, "It's just me. I am Miguel Jimenez."
Part of Miguel's allure comes from his unwavering competitive spirit well into his senior years. Despite his age, this 60-something chap has racked up an impressive 17 victories on the PGA Tour Champions, with senior major titles like the Regions Tradition and The Senior Open under his belt in 2018. He continues to dominate recent tournaments like the Principal Charity Classic and Kaulig Companies Championship.
Miguel's personality and zest for life further spice up his appeal. With a maverick spirit that clashes attractively against the usually reserved demeanor of professional golfers, he's earned himself a legendary status in senior golf.
So, next time you're at the Broadmoor Hotel Bar, think twice before lighting up that cigar around ol' Miguel. You might just inhale more than smoke.
Despite his love for Bushmills whiskey and Cuban cigars, it's best to refrain from smoking around Miguel Angel Jimenez at the Broadmoor Hotel, as his preference for golf extends beyond the greens and fairways to the tobacco-free zone of the bar. Known for his impressive career in sports, particularly golf, Miguel Angel Jimenez's unique style and charisma has made him a standout figure in senior golf tournaments.
