Not Taking hat off at ryder cup at end of match to shake hands.

[Parksy]

This is the first time at the end of a match that a pro didnt take his hat off to shake his opponents hand. Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar never took there hat off to shake hands with their opponent. Maybe it was because they were so devastated losing they forgot . I still think that was disrespectful to their opponents.

What. Ever.

Two thumbs up compared to Kaymer pulling a disappearing act after his match.

I do applaud whatever gets people to stop this ridiculous new "tradition" of hat post round hat removal.

[BuckeyeNut]

Hat removal is not relevant............

The only time I know of you remove you hat outside is for the National Anthem.

[Grumpter]

I distrust anyone that would make an issue of something like that (like the stuffed shirt that puffed his chest, and disrespectfully interupted, Fowler for wearing his hat backwards at a press conference).

I agree with every post on here, save for the OP.

But, mostly, as a dude who's hair is disappearing faster and faster every day, I agree with Sean.

I don't think it was purposeful.  In every other match, hats were removed.  In both cases you could tell they were congratulating their opponent.  I think it was just an oversight.

Who cares...seriously?

Honestly, I do. Then Again, people that wear hats at the dinner table drive me crazy. I guess I'm just easily bothered.

Believe me, nobody wants to see my hair when the hat comes off (although Furyk doesn't have to worry about that)

[joekelly]

Yea, Furyk and Strickler are both bald and Tiger ain't far back. Or maybe it was fear of sunburn.  If you played 'Sir Nick Faldo'  would you curtsy or bow  on the 18th?

Kind of a worthless thread as this is a non-issue but I like it that pro's take off their caps when they shake hands post round. It shows respect and in a way separates the commercialism from the competition.
