Is it a Major championship to the Seniors tour is it not ?

A wins a win, is it not? It wouldn't be classed as a major if it wasn't one. Not as good as one of the big 4 but still its a major for that circuit.

Big Jack, I believe, wanted to count his two American Amateur titles as 'majors'...
About half way down the article "its about time I won a major"

well I agree that it is a 'Major' on the Snrs circuit with some serious players.
I agree so Monty thinks he's going to beat the likes on Couples, lehman, Watson and all the other great US players that he couldnt beat in the past as well as Langer, Norman, Woosnam and all the other seniors who have won a proper major.

Its a major for the seniorss tour so therefore it is a major.
It won't count in the grand scheme of what fans see as a major win when looking back on records. But it'd still be a major victory for the tour and field he'd be playing against.
Fair play to him, everyone slates monty but i like him

he's done it before- wasn't Monty runner up at the US Open three times....ahead of all the names you mention.
He's an amazing consistent player, don't understand why you are being so negative towards him
Monty has a great european record, but champion golfers need to win a major........he's done it before- wasn't Monty runner up at the US Open three times....ahead of all the names you mention.

The seniors count their majors against the senior record so he could win one and call it a major win. Problem as I see it is that he won't win one of these either

Tanning his backside? Who was that then? 8 times European tour money list winner was it, when it was a decent tour.

Absolute RUBBISH, A champion does not need to win a Major but an event to become a champion of that event . Monty has proved himself to be a champion many times over and to get so many OOM titles proves that.

Goodness, we've done this one to death so many times.
Colin Montgomery is a true legend of golf because of the amount of wins he's had, and his fantastic Ryder Cup record. I am not too keen on the way he conducted himself sometimes but he's right up there with the best.
Comparatively worse players than him have won Majors, but not many players in the world have dominated European golf like he did. No, Todd Hamilton proved that you only have to peak for 4 days in a row at a certain time to win a Major and, for me, that doesn't put a player in a class of his own!

Is that the same Ben Curtis who has one on the US PGA tour, Monty cant even claim that.
