But yeah, that list is full of Indian cricketers. Not that I want to dismiss Indian cricketers; but there are A LOT of people in India. The rankings should normalize for the country of origin of followers f.e.; how many people (as %) follow this person in his own country? Can they even watch baseball in India (in readily accesible TV; not through MLB.tv, which you have to make an effort to find and access)? Can you even watch cricket in the US?
An apples and oranges list at best, clickbait at worst.

As we are on features of the game. The OOTP version that introduces randomly generated player and fan tweets during the game will be the first one I won't buy.

Well, youre from Germany. AFAIK, golf isnt that big in Germany, its soccer, basketball, hockey, and F1 racing, and tennis too. In the US here, everyone knows Phil because everyone knows Tiger. Theyre the Ronaldo and Messi of golf, the LeBron and Kobe. The same is said in Ireland, Scotland, England, or any country where golf is popular. Phil comes up despite no social media presence because he does a lot of commercials, ads, and other TV work, as well as piggybacking on the Tiger fame.
And just to clarify, im half german and all of my stepmoms family is german, so im being completely serious in that reply.
