Maybe he heard about your bet? Lol
He could have really helped launch it playing last 2 years

Just listening to the podcast now, he said they are keeping an invite for him should he not get to the tour championship which he hasn't (podcast recorded on Friday). Missed the cut off to get in under the normal rules in Europe for tournaments.

Mortgage must be biting if he needs to come over here and play a minor tournament rather than put his feet up by the pool whilst the big boys are teeing it up in the US at the Tour Championship. Must be a hefty appearance fee in it. He should rest up and then concentrate on getting fit for next season imho

As Rory said himself, he's playing just for his sponsors now.
“Some decisions aren’t completely up to the individual,†McIlroy said. “There were outside expectation from elsewhere. I played these events for two reasons: thinking that I still had a chance, but also trying to fulfil obligations elsewhere. So there were two parts of it.â€

Hi moogie, I'm parking the campervan on a site in Wylam for the week. Will I be able to gain access to the course from the cycle path or elsewhere without having to use the entrance from the main road?
Totally agree. It should be a big boost for the area and NE golf in particular.

Chatting with Jezz on twitter re this , i 100% agree its great he playing , BUT, is it fair and right ?
If he had qualified for fedex he would not have given masters a second thought They hold a space for him denying a guy trying to make a living a space for a multi millionare whos only here coz he missed out on the main event in USA..
no doubt its a massive capture for organisers and they want him there to draw bigger crowds ,
Whhats ye'r thoughts on it ?.

i see your point but I think its more sponsor obligation more than desire to play
He's box office. It's like Tiger at his peak. If Rory turns up there is more publicity, more coverage, more buzz. In the brutal world of sport the person missing out because of Rory is not good enough yet. Harsh but ask the tournament organisers and spectators who they want there.
