Westwood On Rory Snub: “Is this yet another case of protectionism by the PGA Tour or are they so desperate to win something?"

Brian Keogh tells us about Lee Westwood's Tweet explosion crying conspiracy over the PGA Tour membership's snubbing of Rory McIlroy for player of the year.

Westwood wrote: “Sorry, 140 letters is not going to be enough for this rant! Just seen Rickie Fowler has been given Rookie of the Year!

“Yes he’s had a good year but Rory McIlroy third in two majors and an absolute demolition of the field at Quail Hollow! Oh yes and on the winning Ryder Cup team! Please!

Okay you had me until the Ryder Cup part. Go on...

“Is this yet another case of protectionism by the PGA Tour or are they so desperate to win something?

“Wouldn’t have something to do with Rory not joining the tour next year? Maybe the PGA tour just employs the same voting process as FIFA! Come on, fair’s fair!”

Westwood seems to be laboring under the delusion that the PGA Tour's finest actually gave this ROTY vote that much thought!
