Jumper_Dad Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Let's say you could win one major individual sporting championship event, not a team event, and it was to be your only win in that sport...what would you choose and why? Not looking for the one with the biggest prize money, but the one you would like to be known of as a champion the rest of your life. Examples... Masters, Wimbledon, BASS Master's Classic, World Series of Poker Main Event, Daytona, Indy, KY Derby, Tour de France, 100 meters in the Olympics or any of a thousand other titles you could win. Edited July 20, 2018 by Jumper_Dad Clarify question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Easy. The Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Easy. The Derby. I honestly didn't see that getting picked, but it would be cool to be the winning jockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True blue (and gold) Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Easy. The Derby. Agreed. Easy choice for me, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantmanky Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Being a KY person, I think Derby as well. Would love to see the horse that lets my fat butt jockey it, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky Windage Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'm not much of a golf guy, but it'd have to be the Masters for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 How much do you come away with at the World Series of Poker? It's not about the money as much as the title and fame that comes with the win as far as the purpose of my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 World Series of Poker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 How much do you come away with at the World Series of Poker? Depends on how many enter. I’d imagine you’d win at least 5-7M bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 World Series of Poker for me. Without the money, would you still pick it? I should have phrased the question better, but is that the one title you'd want to be known for (without the money), if so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw that was an option I typed my answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those other choices are more prestigious but at the end of the day a large amount of people will still have to use Google to tell you who won those other events in 2018.

Oldercoach Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Easy. The Derby. Deuce, never met you; but I will bet my last dollar you can't run that fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldercoach Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Not even close for me, it's the British Open. I have been trying for 55 of my 72 years and haven't won it yet. Maybe next year. Did shoot 93 at Carnoustie and an 88 at Royal Portrush (next year's sight). Got just a little more tuning to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
