Asian tour expands into Europe 05/09/2008 - 10:31:30
After years of the European Tour expanding into Asia and beyond next season will see the Asian Tour expand into Europe for the first time.
The Omega European Masters, being staged again this week at Crans-sur-Sierre in Switzerland, will next year be co-sanctioned with the Asian circuit.
Thirty players from the Far East will qualify for the 156-strong tournament, which will also be the first counting event in the race for places in the 2010 European Ryder Cup team.
