It’s all about the money

CAN there be a more vulgar, obscene contest anywhere in the world of sport than the one Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald are engaged in this weekend?

It’s all about the money

Apart, of course, from its garish equivalent that brings the corresponding parade of ostentation in the USA to a close.

Might there be any more dignity lost if the pair were to loosen their branded belts, unzip their slacks on the Jumeirah lawns and release twin gulf streams to turn this figurative pissing contest into a literal one? Ah, the money list. Sport’s answer to Petra Ecclestone’s wedding. €3,856,394 to €3,066,606 and it’s all to play for.
