| Re: A new MAJOR? With all respect I think its a daft idea but I would like to see the whole "major thing" re-examined to reflect the world game with 3 New Open Championships to reflect the various tours plus what mught be viewed as a World Play Off.
So, for example, we could have a NEW European Open - replacing "The Open" and the current European (sorry R&A), an Asian / Australasia Open and a US Open (replacing all 3 of the current US Majors) - obviously the qualification criteria for these is open to debate. The top whatever of each of those would qualify for a World Championship - location tb rotated around the tours.
I can hear the squeals of outrage, especially from the States, already but the current set up is pretty much based on the whim of Jack Nicklaus and is unjustified particularly in the case of the Masters due to the nature of the Augusta club.
