His wife's name is Kandi

I'd think he'd be more than a bit distracted for the rest of the tournament if he did stay to finish.

I probably would have left also.

Was there money involved? He could have won the tournament to pay for the delivery, and still been there in time. Labor doesn't mean a thing. The kid is still likely hours away, and his presence is non-essential.

Golf tournaments are several days long. The final round just finished a few hours ago. He'd have totally missed the birth.

withdraw is the right thing to do

Too late for that if she's already pregnant.

It's 2013! Couldn't he use Facetime between holes, or something?

If he used his face between holes, she wouldn't have gotten knocked up.

I'm not really sure why I should give a crap about this quite frankly. Some guys would probably continue, some wouldn't. It would really impress me if he continued to play and go on to win. That's a fuck load of money to give up... guess he's rich and doesn't need the money.

Rich guy puts family over income... no fucks given.

Just think of the PR nightmare that would ensue if he DIDN'T.

none if he didn't, a lot now that he did. plenty of fathers miss the birth of their kids due to work or traveling.

no biggie, imo.

Most women would like their man to be there anyway.

Money is not everything. I am sure he didn't need this 'win' to cover his delivery costs.
