  I'm sure it's because they don't believe it's in their best interests financially.

  ...the Asian market is not financially viable? Oh! That's shortsightedness.....

  Too much rain during the monsoon season.

  They might build a corner shop on every hole.

  LMAO

  Hell I lived in Asia for 10 years and there are a bunch of courses that would be great on WGT....courses with length, water and difficulty (still be low 50's for the best WFT'ers).

  Financially, I am sure there are a number of courses that would fit some of the bill as it would add fantastic exposure to their courses.

  I would like to see courses from around the globe, then, and only then can this Golf Tour really call itself WGT.

  Asians love golf and this game does not really tap into that market.........it could be a win, win situation.

  They might build a corner shop on every hole. Handy if you run out of any domestic knick knacks at 9pm

  Sure is....and we are too lazy to stay open that late actually working!

  Something like that......not exactly a world series when it the rest of the world is excluded!

  WGT cannot see past their nose......let alone something far beyond their comprehension!

  Fixed :)

  p.s. easy way to avoid monsoons is to plan to finish your  round before 3pm......certainly true in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.....will invariably pelt down between 3-5...then the sun comes out so you can have and outdoor sauna......

  So the workaround for WGT....play in the morning

  Do you really think that WGT is going to gain a significant number of new players if they were to add an course from Asia? 
  
  I don't.
