Legitimate reason to withdraw,or spat his dummy out?

Apparently the GM forum have been giving his missus some bad press so he's on his way over here to sort 'em out!

Played badly - pulled out in a strop

It's wrong

I would ban golfers from the next event if they pull out for any confirmed non medical reasons

haha brilliant

I wish we could all stop when we had a bad day at work.

We will assume, if its not a medical reason, he will return his all appearances fees etc !!

Unfortunately with more sports personalities earning more from sponsors etc than the prize fund; pulling out before completing an event seems to become more common.

He needed to get off the course to get his mind right for next week, as I have money riding on him.....

I see less harm in a WD than someone being 'forced' to play when they don't want to.

Not a believer in Appearance Money without performance, both in and away from the Tournament.

Siem and Wall in the ET also withdrew after round 1

I think you have this the wrong way round.

The fastest way to loose your sponsors and reduce your value would be to continually pull out before completing events (well one of the fastest ways at least - there are a few even faster ones!)

Only Siem WD-ed. Wall, Storm, Doak and Dyson RT-ed.

Wall RT-ed last tournament, so an obvious physical problem
