Celtic Manor Wales Open
Date: May - Jun 2009 (annual)
Theme: Sport
Rating: 2 Stars
The PGA European Tour and its American counterpart, the PGA Tour, are the richest and most celebrated golfing competitions in the world. The most accomplished professional golfers worldwide choose to play on one of the two tours as well as competing for the four Majors.
While the lure of the dollar has enticed many European and overseas stars to the PGA Tour, the European tour remains an extremely lucrative alternative. Now known as the European Tour International Schedule, the season includes events as far afield as South Africa, Australia, Qatar, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
For the European stars on the Tour there is more at stake than pure financial reward: the top ten players are automatically selected for the European Team to play against the US in the Ryder Cup. Save winning one of the majors, competing in this competition is the pinnacle of a golfer's career.
