Player Tweets They'll Regret Files: David Duval Edition
/Relatively new to the medium, former world No. 1 and (apparently) former Howard Roark worshipper David Duval took to Twitter to reveal he would not be getting a sponsor's invite to the Humana Challenge that he won last century.
So it's official. I will not get a spot at the Humana.

It was the follow up Tweet he might regret when tournament directors weigh whether to let him in their tournament.
I guess having the defining moment in the history if the event doesn't matter.

**Duval deleted the offending Tweet and posted several more concilliatory dispatches later on according to a Golfweek report:
Duval recanted on Tuesday, writing, “Please don't hate on the tournament. It holds a special place in my heart. It is an historical event for many reasons.
“All tournaments have the right to give their spots to whom they see fit. Again please don't hate on the Humana.
“I'm in the same boat as others asking for spots. I was just trying to let all know I will not be starting my season their (sic).
“Like I said before its up to me to get my status back and not have to ask for spots.”
