Defending Masters champion Bubba Watson encourages himself to "improve as a man" after seemingly being voted the most unpopular player on the PGA Tour.

Bubba Watson has encouraged himself to "improve as a man" after seemingly being voted the most unpopular player on the PGA Tour.

The two-time Masters champion, preparing to defend his title at Augusta this week, topped an ESPN poll asking 103 professionals which player they would not help in a fight in a car park.

The 36-year-old received 23 votes, twice as many as the next most - fellow American Patrick Reed - and although Watson brushed off the results, he admitted that he needs to continue to get better as a person.

"Here is the way I take it: I take it as I need to improve as a man," he said at a Wednesday press conference. "I take it with pride. I need to get better. And I think over my career, since my rookie season to now, I've gotten better.

"But obviously there's more room for me to improve as a man. And so hopefully next year or the year after, it improves. It's a challenge. It's great. I'm glad that it came out and it's going to help me improve.

"So if it's a bad thing and people don't like me, then I've got to improve and prove them wrong."

Watson, who plays alongside Justin Rose and Gunn Yang in the opening two rounds of the first Major of the year, added that he voted for himself in the poll, insisting "there's nobody I dislike on tour".
