I've always felt that the fact that the Master's is by invitation only should disqualify it from "Major" status (as should Augusta's atttude to non-whites, women, jews, and anyone else other than a wasp male), but then I think that for the sake of golf development world wide the majors should be completely revamped to reflect the various tours.
So we could have a US, European and Asian tour event open to the top 'n' players in the world ranking plus the top "n" from the tour in question. Thr fourth major would be a World event that rotated between the tours and only to the top ranked players.
Get sponsorship from Accenture, Volvo or whoever on a global basis and use the money to develop the grass rooots game around the world.
