Monty has some cheek complaining about Asian TVs influence in golf, he’s played in countless unimportant Asia events just to cash in on his ‘image rights’. If he had spent his time playing high ranking events minus the jetlag; who knows he might have qualified outright

at least they could let him play on the par 3 course, at least he'll reach those greens in regulation.

That old saying comes to mind..."Old golfers never die, they only lose their B*^^@"....I am not a keeper of stats...and correct me if I am wrong...but I seem to recall that in recent times when Monty and Jeev Singh have played in the same tournament, the Indian seems to have come out the better at the end of day 4. Even otherwise, in recent times Jeev Singh has 2 runner up places to show for his efforts. How many does Monty have?

Monty's barking mad - he's whining about "commercial interests"!!! How on earth does he think that golfers earn the millions and millions of dollars/euros/pounds that they do?? It's from the commercial interests that they generate. I know, let's not have any TV rights to sport and see how much of a living he scapes. Monty has always moaned and frankly, whilst I wouldn't mind his money, it's just the fact that he can't cut it any more - happens to us all - eventually

Monty and many others are wrong. Invites are about making money, making people want to watch and increasing the popularity of the sport. The more people watch, the more will play and the longer our sport will continue. Lets remember, people like jeev milka have won tournaments as big as Monty (Volvo Masters) so why shouldn't they have an invited?

Compare Davis Love and Monty, Love as been injured but accepted he had to win this week to qualify for the masters and he has won a major

Monty should check his own behaviour before having a go at others. He refused to pull out of the Open when he was injured, and as a result other people were denied a place. It did him no good though and he missed the cut... serves him right.

Monty should not whimper. It is indeed not nice to be overhauled by players even lower in the ranking, but in 17 years twice the shlemil, what's the problem? Perhaps next year, and as a winner (who knows?!) you will be invited for the rest of your career, perhaps even as one of the honorary starters . Together with Ollie and Langer, perhaps?
