PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem's Asian adventure is under way, further confirming the region's growing importance in the golf hierarchy. Finchem is spending 18 days in Asia, visiting five cities to meet current and potential sponsors. The ramifications of the trip could be significant. As one industry observer put it, once Finchem sees the potential of the Asian market for himself he is going to want the Tour to have a larger stake there.

Amazing how the PGA has figured out what the LPGA can't seem to figure out.

But, who the H in their right mind would want to spend time in China, and have to breathe THAT air. Bad enough having to use it, by the time it gets cleaned up a bit, and gets over here - you literally can NOT see the Sun, on a 'clear' day there.
