Doesn't really matter which sport we are talking about, but governing bodies need to ensure that their sport moves on, and invitations to their tournaments allow them to have an influence over the field. They are entitled to give these invitations to who they like. Surely there is more benefit in giving them to players who have a future in the game and can be inspirations to young players in their countries, rather than a player who (and i did put this earlier) was a great player, but couldn't win it in his prime so won't win it now or in the future. I also can't see many kids in the UK looking to Monty for inspiration either.

Fair point I suppose
