Why Does Mike Weir Still Try!!

[sebber]

I don't think he has shot one round under par all season. Why is he still showing up at events. He's obviously lost his game, likely due to injury but it might be time to call it a career... it's almost embarrassing!

[CaptainHook]

Is he still making money?

If so... who cares? Let the guy play... we pay to play, if he gets it free, more power to him.

If not.. who cares? Let the guy play... we pay to play, and if he has to as well then that brings him closer to us mortals.

If he does not make cuts he get no $$$ and he still has expenses and I assume a little pride?

but he still gets $ in endorsements that he wouldn't get if he hung it up.

Only until end of the current contract and that is what I meant by Pride. As the song by Dire Straits so aptly stated..."Money for Nothing!"

[nokids]

For the lulz?

[mjf]

Although I tend to agree that he should call it quits, perhaps he keeps playing for the same reason I do... because the next round might be better.

If I had 8 tour wins including a Masters victory, I would play until I couldn't walk anymore.

I would also keep playing just so I could tee it up in the Masters every year.

[Kilroy]

He has the exemtion. Play on Mike!

Well, he could play the Masters every year without doing any other tournaments. Maybe he should just play the Augusta all year for practice so he can make a big splash next time.
