Make of that what you will, but from what players on both sides of the Atlantic say, it seems that at the PGA Tour events the structure is built around keeping the players on a kind of pedestal, and the spectators at arms length whereas at the European it's not that way. Some guys like Rory grew up with the European system and prefer it, he thinks it's more fun. Others like Bubba just aren't used to it and are intimidated by it. I've never been to a European tournament but it sounds like they could be more fun.WLKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-66463711684358101422011-07-04T05:50:41.738-04:002011-07-04T05:50:41.738-04:00Just another example of a pampered PGA Tour pro sh...Just another example of a pampered PGA Tour pro showing just how out of touch he is with reality.
