Colin Montgomerie Believes The Masters Is Now Discriminatory Against Fat, Overrated, British Golfers
Here's a new one. Colin Montgomerie has not been invited to take part in this year's Masters Tournament and will instead be at home "washing his car."

The reason? Because he's not Chinese.
"There has been no call from Augusta and I am not expecting one. Now, if I were the only person in the country, à la China, I might get in. It is a strange way to make up a field for a Major championship – television rights. They are quite open about why. They were when I missed out last time in 2005 when they picked Shingo Katayama who was 67th in the world and I was 51st. They picked him over me for the Japanese rights. And they have done the same with Thailand and China this time.

I am not the only one who feels that way and not just because I am not in. In or not I'd be saying the same thing. It is a strange criterion to pick a major field.


The Masters is the only one you can get invited to. At the Open, the US Open and the USPGA you have to qualify. But the Masters have their own rules so we will leave them to it. It would be easier to swallow if no one was invited and it was done on sporting and not commercial criteria."

Well, he's got a point, but I still find it hard to accuse The Masters of discrimination the other way around, even if it is the case this year. Or maybe Augusta is just tired of your fat, whiny, poor finishes every year.

Hey Colin...I bet if you won ONE major some time in your life, then maybe you;d get an invite. Just one. Hell, win a Masters, and you'd get an invite for life. What a concept!
