Why doesn't the PGA Tour have multi national events? Nationwide started their year with tournaments in Panama, Australia, then New Zealand. The European Tour started in Hong Kong, then Malaysia. What's up with the PGA? Are they just big babies?

Or am I not remembering that the Dubai Classic is a PGA sanctioned event?

I think it could also be conflict on interest. They've got so many other leauges out there: European Tour, South African Tour, Australian Tour, Japan Tour.

If the PGA came to town, these players would be stuck with empty galleries and poor courses to hold tournaments on. Kind of the same reason the Champions Tour starts out in FL while the PGA begins with the West Coast Swing. Also, there's the simple fact of money. Not a lot of countries have the $$$$ to run PGA Tour events. Not to mention appearance fees for guys like Tiger and Phil, Dubai is an example of a tournament that can because it's in a wealthy country.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      A local film critic gave the movie “Wicked” a great review. I saw the stage musical several years ago (pre-COVID) and enjoyed it. Likely won’t see the cinematic version but one never knows. I probably will go to “Gladiator 2” at some point unless the reviews are terrible.
