If one person watches and maybe starts playing bc of Curry, then it helps the game. He will attract a different audience of people— Jason Dufner (@JasonDufner) June 28, 2017
He isn't taking anyone's spot.. the sponsor put's up the cash.. they get 2 picks for doing that.. they pick who they want. End of story— Jason Dufner (@JasonDufner) June 28, 2017

Those who have been around here for awhile understand the significance of my Avatar.

Globalization pros and cons: economic, cultural, political
The unrestricted sponsor invite given to Curry could just as easily have gone to a pro golfer trying to make a living. It could be a player with no status on any tour who has just a few hundred dollars in his bank account. It could be a player who could catch fire for 72 holes and change his career and life forever.
