Amanda Dufner is a lot more popular on Google than Jason Dufner

September 19, 2014

It's a shame the Dufners aren't going to be at the Ryder Cup (Jason Dufner would have qualified, but was forced out through injury), because its been a good few years for them both. Jason captured his first major -- the 2013 PGA Championship -- made his first Presidents and Ryder Cup teams, and, of course, he was featured on the cover of Golf Digest.

There's no denying Jason Dufner has become one of the stars of the game, which has also helped boost the popularity of his wife, Amanda. How much, you ask? So much that people actually search for stuff on Google about Amanda more often than they do about Jason. Google ranks search volume on a scale of 0-100, and as you can see from the charts below, Amanda's ranking is off-the-charts compared to her husband's. I wonder why?
