Gazza_8 233 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 According to Monty it is and I have to agree with the big chap. Inviting players who are ranked lower than others simply because of TV rights can't be good for the reputation of the game of golf can it? Surely the best X amount of golfers should be invited to these competitions? Money, money, money 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 917 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Golf and football cant be mentioned in the same sentance!!! But its the way of the world mate, TV rules the roost on all fronts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I can see his point but the organisers have their own rules and the wild cards are deliberately not to do with rankings. The top 50 get in automatically due to their ranking and so Monty should play well enough to qualify or keep his mouth shut. The wild cards are by definition, ad hoc choices using whatever criteria the committee seem fit. Sour grapes to me... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wija 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Maybe if he got stuck in and won he might not be such a sour puss... I do loike the big man but the rules were there, and if he ain't up to scratch then tough titty's. Sour grapes... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 2,060 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The Yanks have a love-hate relationship with Monty so it's no real surprise although I think he has a valid point in what he says however much it appears to be sour grapes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
