Which also puts his Ryder Cup chances in jeopardy.

However, Casey’s disenchantment with the European Tour is such he is showing little inclination to make the move. He is due in London next week and hoping to meet new chief executive Keith Pelley before making a final decision. Asked by Sportsmail if he was leaning towards staying away, he replied: ’That would be a totally fair assumption.’

Casey added: ‘I will be brutally honest with you. I love the European Tour and I’d like to be part of a better tour, but I want to see change. I’m really not sure I’m going to rejoin.’

Unclear is the more understandable emotion that Casey is still peeved at his omission from the 2010 team when he was a top 10 player and well established as a match play specialist.

‘I think I could make a massive contribution to the European team but I didn’t get picked in 2010 when I was in the world’s top 10, so who’s to say I’d make it even if I did rejoin?’ he said, wryly.

Can understand why he's doing it. It's a shame though as he is a good player and one that I would say could contend with Europe's best to get in the team.

He is getting older and playing well again probably wants to earn as much as he can.

Yep, agree its about the money. They can play week in week out for bigger prize money than on the European Tour. I can only see the Euro tour declining if something isnt done about the prize money (which isnt exaclty bad) but im sure a lot of it is down to the tournament sponsors and a relative lack of "big name" events.

Maybe doing a similar thing to Tennis. They have ATP 250 and ATP500 events, the 500 is bigger money, better players at better known venues.

Players need incentive to play a particular tour, so is it time for the PGA and Euri to join forces?

I'm sure the money makes things a lot easier, but he sounds like he's actually pissed at the Tour for whatever reason. If I get to see one of my favorite players more stateside and it makes the Euro Ryder Cup team weaker, well, I guess if you twist my arm I might be OK with the move...
