Golf is said to be a ‘gentlemanly’ game, but there are several occasions when golfers don’t act very gentlemanly. However, if you ask anyone in the golfing world about Tony Finau, they have the highest praise for him as an affable and kind person.

A recent example of this came to light when a content creator known as Seta Tuimoala and his wife went to a high-end restaurant in Utah. It was a core memory experience for him and his family as he met Tony Finau there, who recognized his wife as someone he went to school with. Finau was also celebrating his birthday that day and was with his family.

They spoke with Finau and his family, who were described as very sweet. After finishing their meal, Tuimoala said that the manager informed them someone had paid their bill without mentioning it was Tony Finau. However, Tuimoala believes it was Finau and expressed how grateful he was to the Salt Lake City native.

Tuimoala described it as a wonderful experience and a core memory for him. He also said that he was a big fan of the golfer and wished him success. Fans who saw the video were extremely impressed by Finau and how he treated his old acquaintance and her family. Let’s explore what they had to say.

Legends have spread of Tony Finau being a wonderful person. We have also seen his laid-back and down-to-earth vibe in the videos he is featured in. This has led people to truly connect with him and wish for his success, even though they don’t know him, as one commenter says, “Fr the most genuine and thoughtful family. Love them🫶🏽.” Another commenter wrote in the same vein, “That totally sounds like him.  Genuine, sincere, down to earth individual.  You guys deserve every bit of it.  We love you guys. ❤”.

His family was also noted to be quite friendly and welcoming, as one commenter writes, “Very cool !! Doesn’t surprise me one bit! We love him his family! Don’t know them but we love everything they represent! Maybe one day will get to meet too! Thanks for sharing brother!” Finau is married to Alayna Finau and they have five children together. They also run the Tony Finau Foundation, which aims to empower the youth and families of the local community.

Other commenters chimed in about their experiences meeting Finau, saying he was just as genuine and affable as he seemed from afar. “One of the coolest dudes you’ll ever meet. I definitely had the pleasure.🙌🙌🔥🔥❤.” Another noted how much of a good role model he is for people, especially as the first person of Tongan and Samoan descent to play on the PGA Tour: “Tony is a real one 🙌 a great role model for everyone.”

Tony Finau certainly seems like a very nice person, but this season has not gone too well for him, as he has not achieved any wins on the PGA Tour. His season isn’t very bad, though, as he has had 5 top-10 finishes and 15 top-25 finishes. Surely, his fans will be hoping he achieves much greater success in the times ahead.
