I just don't find them all that compelling though even with how insanely good at the sport they clearly are.
Casual golf fan IMU is onto something.

You had the #1 player in the world going for a three-peat and was 1-2 shots back all day long. You had the #3 player in the world, a US Open champ in the final group and was in the mix until the back 9 on Sunday. And you had the #5 player in the world, another US Open champ who fired a 61 last Sunday to win, poised to make a run as well.

But thats not compelling enough for you.

it's golf.

I have no doubt about their talent. I just don't think they are the types of players that create an emotional investment. Now, the three guys I mentioned have been in the spotlight for over a decade each so maybe one day I'll be happy to spend a whole Sunday rooting for, um, Brooks Koepka?

If it wasn't his talent, what was/is it about Tiger that made him compelling for you to watch?

Well, Tiger is at worst the second best golfer of all time so I think the answer could be pretty much everything about him.

I would say the bigger question would be why I found Sergio to be compelling, and I wouldn't have a great answer to that outside of the years of near misses he had.
