With all the talk about the new Race for Dubai that is coming up this season, do you think that it will effect the PGA. Phil is contimplating joining the European tour next year and AK just joined. If some of the games greats are touring in Europe more, will it effect the U.S. tournaments. The Majors and the Worlds count for the required 12 so they will be playing in the U.S but with a huge purse like $10m it will be hard to say no to. Could the PGA suffer? Not to mention that it comes to an end just a short time after the Fed Ex Cup. How will that be effected if at all. What do you think?

It's definitely going to be intersting. However, I read that the US players will have to be invited to some of the Euro events. I don't see that being a problem for the big name guys. I think some of the lesser known guys might gain an advantage in some of the majors though. It seems playing links style golf is only good for the Open Championship. Maybe the FedEx Cup will be better having some unknowns in the mix and maybe some of the big guns will skip an event or 2. Guys like Tiger though, will probably remain full time PGA tour because he wants to keep his Tourny alive. I watch a lot of Euro golf and its pretty good. This year I knew guys like McDowell were going to standout in the Ryder Cup.
