Norman Seeks Future World Tour of Golf

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Greg Norman thinks it's inevitable. Tom Kite believes it's unworkable.


With more international stars playing more American tournaments, there are rumors that the end result could be the formation of a world tour of golf.


"You would not go out to destroy the U.S., European or Japan tours but work in conjunction with everybody in the world, play a certain number and leave another 35 weeks to play the other tours,'' said Norman, here for the Dunhill Cup competition. "It would be the easiest thing to do and I am surprised no one has done it.''


Kite, of the United States team, doesn't see it that way.


"I don't think it could ever work,'' he said. "There are quite a few organizations who have a lot of control over portions of the golf world and wouldn't want to give it up."

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
