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. |
Yes I agree the PGA championship should be replaced by a 'world' major that could alternate between say South Africa, Australia, Asia, South America etc
I think its wholly unfair on the golf playing world they cant host major championships and wouldnt it make it a more complete test of golf for these guys to play in other countries?
I appreciate i'm probably in the minority here but the game has moved on golbally from where it was 20 years ago and perhaps its time to put some 'traditions' to bed and contemplate moving the PGA or creating a 5th major
