I don't know how the PGA rules work, but does this imply that his "Special Exemption" that allows him to play bounces someone who has earned the right to play by actually playing and finishing rounds????
I understand your view. As a former professional baseball player, that's how I felt when Michael Jordan or Tim Tebow decided they wanted to try their hand at professional baseball. But those were more publicity stunts than anything else and they were done at the expense of other players for a full season - 4 seasons in the case of Tebow.
Do you think the guy that gets bounced will somebody that previously won the US Open 3 times? Do you realize how every player on the tour has benefitted from the massive increase in prize money over the past quarter century due to increased popularity of the sport? Do you know which individual is the unquestioned reason for that increase in popularity?
