There are 2 comments left at the bottom of that link. I must say, I echo both.
However, I agree mostly with what the first person who commented said.
"This is a valid point, but instead of calling out the younger players, his "beef" should be with the PGA's structuring of the tournament's purse."
It's a scene that's been happening in all of sports for a long time now.
There's just sooo much money .. look at the NFL, just for one. Some players could care less,
and show no motivation, or talk too much and don't back it up. Back in the day, The NFL was so much better.
Most players wouldda played just for the pleasure of goin out and schmacking someones heads off.
Until the NFL restructures it's way of how it pays it's rookies, it'll be a never ending issue.
I mean c'mon .. 30 million, 50 million dollar signing bonus's? And these guys haven't even played a down in The NFL.
Where's the incentive that keeps you hungry anymore?
