@JonnyRoot_ You need to quit crying. I bet you wouldn’t have any problem if it was an American who did the same thing. I also bet you are one of those jerks who yells out “USA-USA” when Europeans try to concentrate on their shot.
A lot of the conversation around Rory McIlroy's "unfair advantage", especially from golf media, is completely missing the point...
There's no reason there shouldn't be a cap on the amount of times golfers can play Augusta the month prior to The Masters, whether they're past champs or not.
This ensures there isn't a blatant competitive disparity.
Yes, golfers that qualify for the tournament can access the course the month prior, but everyone can't skip three straight tournaments* & fly private whenever they want to Augusta.
*Again, this encourages top golfers to skip tournaments, devaluing those tournaments for broadcast partners, patrons, & sponsors.
For example, if the cap is 3-4 practice rounds at Augusta the month prior to the tournament, consider them like timeouts. Use them or lose them.
Problem solved. Debate over.
Past champions still get their well-deserved perks, but they don't get a blatant unfair advantage.
The Islanders, Capitals and Devils all have more win than the Penguins and Flyers but are going to miss the playoffs because they didn’t get enough loser points
@MrChickSports@GratefulKeg Never… Sheffler has never practiced at Augusta in his life! In fact… the entire state of Georgia was closed for golf practice for everyone except Rory
Obviously gotta put an asterisk next to Rory’s back to back.
None of the others guys who have done it skipped 3 tour events and abandoned their wife and child to go play Augusta 7 days a week.
Games gone.
@MarkMaddenX Good!! I hope he gets to pick their free agent WRs and makes decisions on signing past their prime players to gigantic long term contracts
@JonnyRoot_ He was the only player in the tournament that was allowed to play this year. In fact, I think he was the only golfer allowed to play in the entire state of Georgia leading up to the tournament. And he got to take his daughter to school!!! Unfair!!
Rory McIlroy admitted he had an unfair advantage
“this place feels like my home course. I haven't played anywhere else in the last 2 or 3 weeks... I felt prepared that wherever I hit it on the golf course, I sort of know what to do. I know where to miss.”
@BarryOnHere Gretzky was not the best but he was great and had a long healthy career. Mario Lemieux was the most dominant offensive force hockey has ever seen. He could do things Gretzky only dreamed of. Unfortunately Mario had a short career due to cancer and severe back issues
Take away Michael Jordan's rings, he was still the best player of his era with amazing playoff efficiency.
Take away LeBron James' rings, he was still the best player of his era with amazing playoff efficiency.
Take away Wayne Gretzky's rings, he was still the best player of his era with amazing playoff efficiency.
Take away Tom Brady's rings, he becomes arguably the 5th best QB of his era with mediocre playoff efficiency & multiple cheating scandals.
5 years ago I would have been appalled by a standing ovation in Pittsburgh for Alexander Ovechkin. Now I dig it. Respect for Sid’s inferior rival. And NHL’s greatest goal scorer.
Rory McIlroy said he skipped tournaments leading up to The Masters, & instead, drop his kid at school, take a private jet to Augusta to play a practice round, & then be home for dinner.
Why is he allowed to have an unfair advantage?
No wonder he’s -12
What rule change do you want to see in the NFL?
1) Instead of onside kicks. 4th and 10 from your own 20 yard line after a score to keep the ball.
2) 4 points for 60+ yard field goals
3) 3 point conversion after TD from the 10 yard line
4) college style OT
5) other
I wonder what it would take for Pittsburgh to secure an NBA team. The city would rally behind them, much like they do for the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates.
