BBC SPORT | Golf | Montgomerie slams Masters invites
Monty has been moaning that certain players have been given invitations to the The Masters, purely on 'commercial grounds' - the players being:
Jeev Milka Singh
Liang Wen-Chong
Prayad Marksaeng
He says it is a strange way to make up the field based on TV rights.
Just to give a bit of background - this is only the second Masters that Monty will be missing in 17 years. The articile doesn't come out and say it, but hints that Monty thinks he should have got an invite.
This man infuriates me. Yes he was a great player, multiple winner of the Order of Merit. He never won a Major which for such a proud man is a mighty burden to bear, and I am afraid that as his career is now on the slide, we are gonna be hearing more of his opinions on how he has been badly treated etc. etc.
I am gutted that he was not good enough to get into the world's top 50 and therefore qualify as of right for the Master's - as his record in the tournament over the last few years has been poor, so one to oppose in match bets and round bets!!
