No. Apart from the participants status in the world of professional golf. The Ryder Cup is a great event that only became so when the Euros starting winning. It's a team competition between countries, not individuals. That's why any Ryder Cup braggadocio is irrelevant to this discussion.

Ask any professional player which he'd rather have on his resume'......a Ryder Cup win or a major championship? That'll tell you what your Ryder Cup heros think of the Ryder Cup.

Since all the majors and WGCs now count toward the Order of Merit, it's become easier for someone who doesn't really play that much on the European Tour to play more in the US and still win it. It's still a prestigious honor for those who win it, but the days of someone playing predominantly on the European Tour and winning the Order of Merit are mostly in the past. :nodsmiley

Comparing Ryder Cup success to success in majors? Even you can't call that logical thinking!

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Retief?
