But there is absolutely no doubting the fact that more and more people are definitely headed to the European Tour. I personally do not see any harm with that because the fact of the matter is that the European Tour is officially a global tour now and the players get to play in different countries and different types of courses around the globe. Quite unlike the PGA Tour which is still largely limited to America and players succeeding there now does not necessarily signify that they are better than the golfers in the rest of the world. Point in case being Sergio Garcia, who devotes quite a lot of his time to the European Tour and with fine results all over has risen to number two in the rankings. But I think it is too early to see the point in black and white but very soon you will see many more players from Europe and Asia jump in the rankings list while those confined to the PGA Tour will definitely slide down. Play well.
