Do you think he was right to SNUB the do world tour?
Meronk got screwed. Luke picked his "boys". Lowry had been playing poorly all year. He didn't deserve to be there. The European Ryder Cup team won because of the great good fortune that several of the Euro players got hot at the right time, at the same time. Rahm even looked slightly embarrassed by his luck, at times. I don't blame Meronk for going to LIV and basically saying. "You guys don't seem to want me, they do, and I'll be paid handsomely in the bargain ".
Shane Lowry was a certainty for the team because of Rory ,he shouldn’t have even been considered.
Because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. Wise move 100%
Narrow minded for $10 million
No one blames Meronk or Hatton etc unless you are a complete PGATOUR shrill. The European tour and PGATOUR management have effed this whole situation up so badly its astonishing. The short sightedness of their strategies by instantly going "to war" and refusing to sit down and negotiate at the start of all this 3 or more years ago has lead us to where no tournament has the best field anymore. Yesterday i watched the ladies European tour in Kenya instead of Qatar masters because the DP World event literally had no one.
Did Luke Donald make the right decision? You made the assumption that he did, but we will never know. Meronk could have won every match. We will never know. We just know the result.
Take the money and you make crazy money at every event.
How does anyone know he would not have been as good or better? Hindsight justification is a wonderful thing.
Did Adrian Meronk deserve a pick? I am a fan of his and would say yes but like any other team sport when it comes to relying on the selection process, there will always be an element of subjectivity. The cruel answer is don’t leave it up to others, control your destiny. Meronk is not the first to be overlooked and he will not be the last. From memory did this not happen to Matt Wallace? Whether or not he’s made the right decision, it’s entirely up to him but based on his comments I can’t help feeling the decision was more in a fit of pique and he’s undersold himself. Then again, maybe he’s not confident he can maintain the same high standard and decided to cash in. With regard to your point about travelling and the challenges of being a professional golfer, I’m afraid that comes with the territory and if he feels it’s an easier life joining LIV why not?
10 million$$$ I would Fire The Team, that's such a ridiculous low amount of incentive $$$, cutting your nose off despite your face…..
How does anyone know how Adrian Meronk would have performed in the Ryder Cup? You can't assume he would have done poorly. The original Ryder Cup spots were earned based on two years of performance with the captains having only two picks. Again, the bias that the UK people have against the Polish people was on display. Remember the Polish pilots and solders were treated like trash during and after WW2 when they were stationed in the UK.
I think he's made a great decision for himself. Him not being picked for the Ryder Cup was a disgrace. Living out of a suitcase soon gets old and a real killer for any sort of family life. Good luck to him and I hope he does well on LIV.
Hate to be harsh, but… What about all the working folks that have to travel all the time? Consultants, service techs, etc. They have to figure out how to raise a family, go from airport to airport, and such. They don't make near the money that professional golfers do and most people who travel for work end up working twelve to fourteen plus hours per day every week of the year. They're happy if they get to play golf on a rare occasion whereas these pros get to do it every day. Sorry if they don't have my sympathy.
Understandable the P.G.A. are Woke Nazis. Have you watched a P.G.A. round of golf this year? Just exactly WHO are these guys? What a pathetic waste of televised crap. I’d rather watch some good weekend warriors. I watch LIV to see the actual BEST PLAYERS ON THE PLANET. If the woke Nazis don’t do something spectacular soon the P.G.A. Is dead.
Go who cares
Euro Tour tosses aside legends like Sergio, Henrik, Westwood and Poulter… etc. just shows the younger players to look out for themselves bc the tour won’t have their back
Not money then
What a fucking cry baby.
Europe won, Meronk is not the only player over the years that didn't get picked and it won't be the last. Did Europe miss Casey, Garcia, Westwood and Poulter? No.
If they want to join LIV fine, I just don’t want to hear the crying that comes afterwards. They know there are no points to earn before hand,
Adrian is upset that the other tours are not growing the game, unlike LIV.
Hence, he made the ultimate decision to be part of the greatest tour in order to grow the game.
He became a beLIVer! 🫡
Thrown his dummy out of the pram
Do you blame him? as they usually just pick their own old friends for this tournament
There was a reason he wasn't selected, he wasn't good enough. Suck it up. He joined for the money, don't try to dress it up as a moral crusade
Meronk wasn't in the Rory club !!
Most of us work 5 days a week, if we were offered more money to just work 3 days a week, its a no brainer
