May 10-13 will be the Golf Monthly Forum Classic at Lydd.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Re-name it "The World Golf Tour". Not being sarcastic, that is what it is now.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

All about branding though isn't it and the ET wouldn't want their brand watered down by being know as the world tour

 

[Hosel Fade]

If we as consumers want year round top shelf golf we can't play every single event from november til march in the Algarve and Andalucia.

Speaking of the Spanish really should get their fingers out and get the national open back on the schedule

Agreed, and you would think more marketable.

 

[shivas irons]

They go where the money is nowdays and it aint in Europe.

 

[hovis]

its always had a foreign start. at least the ET are willing to step outside the box. Americans and the pga are like that scene off "the running man" where if they go outside the area their collar blows their head off

There are a few US players that do come over now and then these days, but still few and far between and the idea of them going abroad en masse would scare them. Too insular as a nation, which has perforated down to most of their national sports where it's only a home grown event (NFL, NBA NHL PGA etc)

 

[Capella]

Actually, most of the events out of Europe are in the winter months, and I can't really blame them for that. There is near to no chance to get a four day event without massive weather interruptions anywhere in Europe during that time. And I count 23 events in Europe, not 17 (including those where the location is yet to be announced but says "Europe" in the description).

 

[guest100718]

What's your point? The champions league also has a number of Asian sides in it. Shall we rename it ?

 

[lukeysafc100]

and only 7 based in the UK - 2 in England, 1 Northern Ireland, 4 in Scotland!

Whatever happened to the Welsh Open?

 

[Dogma]

I'm going to the Dubai Desert Classic :lol:

 

[Steve Bamford]

Interesting to note that the Gulf Swing is now split across 5 weeks - Perth International smack-bang in the middle - with the inclusion of a new event - the Oman Classic.

 

[Captainron]

Ah man! They've dropped the Alfred Dunhill at Leopard Creek!!! I love that event as it's on the border with the Kruger Park and you got to see loads of animals!

BOOOOO!!!

 

[Slab]

Yeah I guess its either a 6 month European schedule or 12 months with some winter sun

(& its not as if several European countries didn't do a fair bit of empire building in nearly every one of these far away places trying to make them European )

BOOOOO!!!

Just for a year I think - they are re-modeling the course

 

[Steve Bamford]

I also see that Bubba Watson's personal cheque opportunity - the Shenzhen International - has disappeared in China. Down to the Volvo China Open + HSBC Champions there.

Phew! Love that event.
