"The U.S. tour might slag me for this, but essentially we are starting the world tour."

I don't know much about the Sunshine Tour commissioner Garreth Tindall, but after reading his quotes in Doug Ferguson's story on the new WGC event in South Africa born out of the Presidents Cup date conflict, he's a beauty!

"The significance of what we've done is potential, and the U.S. tour might slag me for this, but essentially we are starting the world tour," Tindall said. "It's been a matter of time.

"I think what we've done could potentially create the impetus to start a world tour because Australia are certainly going to do what we've done, and Europe are going to have to do what we've done."

Uh, last I looked there is only one Presidents Cup to manipulate for your own gain!

And regarding Tiger's event having to change dates, Tindell is very cryptic.

"They will have to move it (the Chevron Challenge), unfortunately for them," he said. "They moved the Tiger Chevron Challenge to the same date as the Nedbank Golf Challenge without any consultation, so I suppose it's a bit of payback time.

"They need to move that date."

There goes any hope of Tiger joining the Sunshine Tour!
