Tom Watson Should Stop Playing PGA Tour Events Before Somebody Kills Him

by One-Eyed Golfer Guy on Oct 27, 2009 1:56 PM EDT Comment 10 comments

Okay, Tommy Terrific, we know your record at The Open. We are aware of your battles with Jack. We have seen the replay of your shot in 1982 at Pebble about 54,285 times. Do you have to keep rubbing it in our face even after you have passed your 60th birthday? Please go away. Please.

Tom Watson is the 43rd highest ranked American in the Official World Golf Rankings. He is ranked 112th on planet Earth.

The American golfers listed below wish to sign and distribute a petition worded similarly to my first paragraph. I think certain guys on this list should first be required to play their next round with masks on.

I have no idea what the headline means – but Watson played exactly two PGA Tour event this year – The Masters (MC) and the British Open (2), and he was invited to both as a past champion. Seems like he played pretty well that week in the UK.

If the rankings are hinky – get on the rankings – but Watson deserves a little more respect.

Tongue in cheek, CG...

Tom Watson at age 60 is whooping ass on regular players. He is ranked above five current players who have won majors, i.e. Lehman, Pavin, Calc, Jansen & Duval.

When a 60-year old man, even one playing as great as Watson is, outplays 75% of the tour in a given year, it should be embarrassing to everyone below him.

Believe me, this is taking nothing away from Tom, it is just pointing out tour millionaires living on their semi-guaranteed place on tour…

Pretty amazing that one made cut can put someone that high up the rankings. The guys below him on the world ranking list are all over the place on the PGA Tour money list. What a system.

Daniel Snyder is selling the Redskins and cold brews?

I’m not even a Skins fan, but I feel pretty darned sorry for their fans.

There literally should be a

law protecting season ticket holders (investors) and fans in general from the likes of Daniel Snyder and Peter Angelos of the Orioles. How do people eff-up a proven, successful franchises? I am a very good fan, but at least I know I’m NOT a general manager, head coach and director of scouting. Snyder and Angelos haven’t figured it out. CG, just had crabs last week. Delicious. No Natty Boh, however…

How do let a 27-year kid like Ballengee tease us about "having a treat for us’…?? Oh, okay, Dad, are we going to the movie show and see Roy Rogers and Dale Evans??
