What happened to David Duval?
Five years ago he won his first major. He hasn’t won anything since. Bob Verdi of Golf Digest gets up close and personal with DD here full interview.
Q: What have the last few years been?
A: Pretty tough. Hard. As bad as things got with golf, I never really thought of quitting the game. I contemplated not playing professionally anymore. I didn’t want my professional golf life to destroy my recreational golf life. I didn’t want the bad stuff on the PGA Tour to take away any desire to play the game at home. I didn’t want to hate the game in such a way that I didn’t want to play with my buddies or with my kids. But I was probably another really bad year away from doing that. * * *
Q: So you were right [about the Ryder Cup and players designating money for their charity]?
A: *** The only guys who don’t get paid at the Ryder Cup are the players in the Ryder Cup. The captain makes money. That’s a problem I had with Crenshaw in 1999. . .
