darpar I'm sure it did. In the absence of Tiger mania, they need others in addition to Rory to try and carry them. The exhibition tour has two players with more majors than he does. Also, the PGA Tour needs guys like Dustin and Cam and many other players that are objectively better than many of the weekly winners on the PGA Tour lately. Rory, Jon, and Scottie are great players, but it's harder to call them great when the world knows that the top half of the field is missing 50% of the best players.
