Vijay your comments are equal to what I just deposited (in enormous quantities) in my toilet !!!

Vijay is right, and I'll take it a step further. Euopean players have beatdown the US in the Ryder Cup. But when its comes to Major Championship like The Masters, US Open, British Open and PGA Championship, european players have become SOFT. In the last 35 majors including this year's Masters and US Open, European players have won a total of 1 major. Granted, Tiger has something to do with it with13 majors during that spam. But it still doesn't excuses why european players haven't done well in the majors recently.

who cares???????????????????????

How many euros have won majors in the last 3-4 years?? hmmmmmm none. How about Monty in majors/??? ummmm scared.
So why angry at Vijay for stating the obvious? get over it dude, no one cares how much you bench press at the gym. Show me game on the course.
European losers!!!

How many euros have won majors in the last 3-4 years?? hmmmmmm none.

See 2007 open champion

And this whole stupid issue is why the leaders of the PGA are going to hate the rest of the Tiger-less season......Nuf said..

Seems golf is getting a little NBA-like in the mud-slinging area at least. South Africans Sabbortini and Goosen's challenges to Tiger; Singh's doubt of European player's work ethics and now Casey's response seem to display the level of frustration at only one of them getting the bulk of the publicity and respect for being a winner, a superstar, and an ATHLETE. The rest seem to be just golfers, which isn't a bad thing, I don't think. I would say to all of them be like a Tiger....WIN. Win often and consistently and all the negative chatter will end.

Golfers are athletes? No. I have said before, and surely will again, they are not. My reasoning is that you or I can hit the occasional great shot. Can you or I beat the NBA's best, or hit off the best pitchers in baseball? Stop the great football players, or win against a tennis player? Be serious. Point Vijay was making was spot on. Win. Maybe his comments will rile someone enough to get the fire going for an entire tournament rather than a couple rounds. And sure you'd rather beat Tiger, the point is to go out and beat the best, but be the best that is out there NOW.

First of all golfers are athletes. That is indiputable. The good ones work fulltime practicing and working out. Getting a card is an incredibly difficult trial and that is only the beginning as the competition is so strong, and its not like team sports, it is one guy against an entire team of competitors, all gunning for the leader.

Second, Vijay has long been known for his apparently incurable ignorance.

indisputable

Petulant golfers whining over each others comments? Is this all the golf media has to offer us?

First Vijay won't play in a tournament in which Annika Sorenstam has been invited to play. Now the comment about British Golfers.

First, Sorenstam is a better golfer than Vijay could ever hope to be.

Second, the attack on Paul Casey may be warranted, but before attacking British golfers in general, maybe he should look at the World Golf Rankings, where he happens to be two spots behing Justin Rose of England. These are especially big words coming from the guy ranked behind Steve Stricker.

Sorry, Vijay is two spots BEHIND Justin Rose, not behing (as only President Bush believes that's an actual word.

When defending golfers as athletes, Southern Man wrote: ".... and its not like team sports, it is one guy against an entire team of competitors, all gunning for the leader.

I like golf, but this defense does little to defend golfers as athletes. And, what sports don't have everyone else gunning for the leader? In reality, golfers are really competing against their own mastery of skill and course on the day they compete. If they are athletes, they are certainly a lower tier. I mean in my worst physical shape, I can walk 18 holes a day with little problem.

But can you dominate and master the golf course and every other player? Doubtful...or else you would be doing it. Obviously, anyone can walk the course.

Vijay may be right, or he may be wrong. Either way, he's a dick and should shut his trap. You haven't won on the PGA tour in almost a year and a half, Veej.
