Would players skip a tournament where they could win 800K, or would they go in a tournament where winner take all 1 gold medal?<br /><br />Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the Olympics and "Amateur" Competition? <br /><br /><br /><br />Any other sport players train for this one event...Big Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-87579713959069185742009-08-07T00:01:36.194-04:002009-08-07T00:01:36.194-04:00We think golf is a very deserving Olympic sport!
