Spieth To Pass Up Site Of Pro Debut For Singapore Event

To be clear: Jordan Spieth should take the cash.

After all, the historic Singapore event he'll play next January hasn't been played in three years and sports a measely $1 million purse, so the appearance fee has to be sizeable.

However his decision to pass up the 2016 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, where Spieth received an exemption to make his professional debut, should forever put to rest the loyalty speeches endured last summer. That's when Spieth chose to play the John Deere Classic instead of arriving a few days early to study the most complicated course in The Open rota, the Old Course. Oh and with the Grand Slam in play.

From the story:

Spieth, 22, will play in Singapore for the first time. "I know the SMBC Singapore Open is one of Asia's leading events and I couldn't be more excited to add it to my 2016 playing schedule," he said in a statement.

A leading event coming off a three year break! 

Take the money. Leave the loyalty speeches.
