Scoton:
if this company is going to continue calling itself World Golf Tour, then the fixation with U.S. Open courses should be dropped. Ireland, the European continent, Australia and New Zealand all have excellent courses to offer... I even hear they're fanatical about golf in Japan.
Amen! Huge untapped markets in Asia with some great courses to boot. Not just Japan, but Korea and now China ... I see growth, growth, growth over there for WGT. Tie it all into the Asian pro tour if you like, although any excellent course will do, it does not have to be a venue for any specific championship (major or otherwise). Besides, with the majors you are already down to just two countries.
