hi
i think the Open is already a world wide competition and has been for as long as i can remember. player come from all over the world to play in it and there has been winers form every part of the world over the years. i think you must keep the Open and maybe the Masters as both are so special not just to the players but also to the supporter's both on the TV or that turn up and pay to watch at the course, ask most pros and they will tell you that to win the open is the most treasured prise and its not just about the money.
you already have the us open and the Canadian open, Wentworth' world matchplay, sun city in S/A. and the aus open and the New Zealand open.
all really big tournaments and players are finding it hard to play in the big tournaments now as you get two in the same week, just look at Ells and Westwood a few weeks ago getting bad press because they played in the HSBC and not over here.
i think we have enough big tournaments and having more you will get the top player cherry picking what ones to play in and other looking to get points to on the Ryder cup team and not playing in tournaments where there is no point up for grabs, that then gives a weaker field to the none points tournaments.
keep it as it is, no more Majors to be added.
cheers
bill
