Rory Reconsidering The Decision He Never Made

An unbylined Telegraph report says that Chubby Chandler's e-mail to SportsBusiness Journal last week was incorrect.

“I am still thinking about it. I love playing in America. I play well over there and I am still thinking about taking out my PGA Tour card next year.

“There are a few things to weigh up. For instance, I don't want to try and play an event in America and come straight back to play one in Europe. That's tough.

“I am not saying that money is a factor in this, but the European Tour has been hit a lot harder by the economic crisis than the American tour.

“Look at the Frys.com Open last week. There was no one in the top 20 in the world in the field and yet they were still playing for $5m.”

Nope it's not about the money!

Unless Sponsors of event in the PGA Tour Fall series tournaments begin to get some help from Top 20 players, there may not be any $5 million dollar purses much longer to play for.

Maybe Rory needs to recognize/realize that!

he's a professional athlete. of course it's about the money.

It would not be fair for Rory to play in the Fall Series events. . . They are for the rank and file not "stars" like Rory or Michael Sim. . .

Fair? I think Furyk and Kim played in Vegas as a favor to Justin "Bing" Timberlake himself so its not so rank and file as you might think. There once was even appearance by Phil at Grayhawk. I think if Rory wanted to show up he would be permitted to put his peg in the ground.
