In recent weeks, the push to globalize golf has ignited discussions involving PGA Tour standout Rory McIlroy and departing DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley.
McIlroy's "dream scenario" includes tapping into markets such as Australia, South Africa and Japan.
Pelley, who announced last week that he is leaving his post to join Maple Leaf Sports in Toronto, told reporters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Tuesday that American golfers have to look beyond their own borders when they think about growing the game.
Part of the delay in finalizing the PGA Tour's framework agreement with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund [PIF] and the DP World Tour is the Saudis' insistence that team golf remain a part of the game.
