Yeah, that’s what I meant. The Majors have been compelling viewing.

Sneakylong Yeah, that’s what I meant. The Majors have been compelling viewing.
Without a doubt! My other comment was my way of saying that the politics and other issues regarding these two parties is way more prominent in the media than their own events.
Sneakylong I am not talking about the political crap.
Keep lying to yourself if you think the Ryder Cup was never about money. It is where it is today because it was made into a spectacle for money. If you want to see pure sport golf go watch an amateur event.
Thank you for correcting me on the virtue signaling. I am a bit foggy at the moment. You are much more intelligent than most of the posters in this thread, so I appreciate your correction. You are so smart in some ways, but so obtuse in others. I am grateful for my simple mind for it allows me to understand simple things. Unfortunately, people with your intelligence never get to receive this blessing.
The only legacy I need to worry about is the one looking back at me in the mirror.

Sneakylong legacies last forever.
Nobody but his family will remember him for more than a year or two after he dies unless he does something to change the world between now and then. He’s a golfer and that is his legacy. He’ll appear in lists of major champions when people look that up and that will be his enduring legacy. Nobody in the future will care to remember what he did or didn’t do for the Ryder Cup. His golf legacy is valued at $40 mil. Nobody made him a counter offer for his humanitarian legacy.
Brian Barnes once beat Jack Nicklaus twice in one day in Ryder Cup competition. Some old Ryder Cup fans and older fans of European golf might remember him. I doubt any casual golfer under 40 has any idea who he was. He has a fine legacy that will very quickly be forgotten by the world.
On Facebook........
Scotty S. will be interested to know that he is now not the #1 player in the world. 
OWGR = official. 
Damn. Open winner to ruined legacy almost overnight.
Sneakylong In the past 8 months, I've laughed very little, smiled rarely.
So, a huge Thank You!! for these types of posts.
You really are not such a bad fella. 
But, you have made me wonder....... just where does my pension come from. I know what name is on the check, but where does that money actually come from? 
johnnydoom $40 million is worth way more than any association anyone could have with the Ryder Cup.
Plus, he's going to 'be in the books' a lot more now, in future history. The legacy has been enhanced.
Eguller OWGR = official
LOL
But is it really?
It's just a made up points system to satisfy the American mantra of "gotta have a Number 1" since there's no real end of season, meaning full playoff? Or is there? Shouldn't the Fedex winner be Number 1?
Scottie is Number 1 on the watered down world tour, that's his legacy.
See how easy it is to minimalize a legacy?
Show me the money!
lol
Btw, the Ryder Cup is not a true best against best match, therefore, a watered down legacy.
Sneakylong legacies last forever.
Thanks for another smile.
Do you really think, 100 years from now, anyone gives a shit about Henrik Stenson, golfer from Sweden? Except his great grands, if even they do?
I really cannot tell you much about Bobby Jones, and I've done a lot of reading in my life, about a lot of things/places/people. He may well be the least important person I've ever read anything about. That's how important 'legacy' is in my mind.
Par4QC That's how important 'legacy' is in my mind.
I'm not sure that is the way Tiger, Hogan, Palmer & Nicklaus think about legacy. And, I'll say especially
Hogan with what he had to go through to post that incredible record after the accident. I find it hard to
believe it was about the $$$. The money went away, but he couldn't put a value on his 'legacy'. JMO
Smile Rex.
