As you just agreed earlier. Hunter Mahan was just going to work. But he left. Withdrew and didn't get paid.

Mahan was risking his tour card for the next year, FedEx cup points, ryder cup points, and the $1M winners take. But you're right, nothing.

Surely they can stream it live into the replay booth for him.

This still doesnt go against my point at all. He was only hurting himself. And what do you want out of this? Everyone to bow down to Hunter? Golfers? Posted on 1/29/15 at 9:48 am to lsupride87

There are other guys to pick up his slack. If anything the decision for him to miss it is easier than a golf pro making the decision.
The Seahawks aren't guaranteed to lose by him not being there. Can't say that about the golf pro.

Ok?
His family is better off if he plays in the game. He has a responsibility to play in the game, and he can be at the hospital in a few hours tops when the game ends

Yea, that's not a risk at all.

Yea, he has no sponsors. No caddie that earns based on his winnings. Nope. None of that.

Child out of wedlock, but you know, he went to Stanford, so....it's okay.

Yea, that's not a risk at all.

How? He just resigned for a nice payday, and he'll be paid regardless. He won't lose any sponsors by missing the game for this reason. So how exactly are they better off?

Every day. One bad hit and it's done.
Thanks for agreeing.

Maybe if I was actually in that situation it'd be different but no way id miss the Super Bowl. I'd feel like i let my whole team down.

If Phil leaves the US open, it would be a closer analogy. But I still think it is easier to leave as a top golfer than football player than as a golfer.

He signed a $70 million contract and is the highest paid player and leader of the team. They paid him that to win a Super Bowl.
Also, it really shouldn't be much of an issue if she traveled to Arizona. Childbirth really isn't that predictable either. The doctor could say 4 hours and it could be 15 hours.

Winning the tournament grants you automatic status for the tour the next year.
So yes, as a non winner, he was risking his slot.

Laugh all you want, you can't refute what you quoted.
