When Stewart Cink won the British Open in 2009, he thrust himself into the Golf limelight as a Major Championship winner. By that time, Cink had already established himself as a Twitter superstar. He had over 500,000 followers in July of 2009 and he is now up to over 1.2 million.
Why has Cink, a professional golfer, not the most hip group of people in the world, garnered such a large Twitter following? He makes the most of his Tweets by doing all the things great Twitter-ers do: tells of his likes and dislikes, gives his followers an inside look into his profession, gives tips on golf for the average guy, lots of retweets to his followers’ questions, little games and prize giveaways (ala Shaq), comments on popular movies and TV shows, and lots of humor and good cheer. If you are new to Twitter, Cink is an example of a great Twitter-er. Here is a sampling from the last couple of months of Cink’s Tweets:
