London Calling: Guardian Says PGA Tour Opens UK Office

Nice scoop by The Guardian's Ewan Murray to highlight the PGA Tour's opening of a satellite office in London.

The news comes as some look at golf's bloated offerings and hope for more PGA Tour/European Tour cohesion. Could such a move be a positive or hostile action aimed at battling over sponsorship dollars?

The sense golf is edging towards one global tour is impossible to ignore, as is the fact the PGA Tour clearly regards London as an important commercial hub. Fresh business partners for golf have been hard to come by in recent times.

The European Tour offered no comment on news that the PGA Tour, whose headquarters are in Florida but which has offices in Beijing and Tokyo, has taken on premises in their backyard and is believed to be relaxed about the situation. The European Tour has full-time staff in the United States, for whom permanent premises may be forthcoming.
