GOLF: PGA: Mickelson ponders Europe excursion

/noticias.info/ Phil Mickelson has refused to rule out defecting to the European Tour in the future.

The world number two has reportedly expressed an interest in joining the burgeoning global tour in an effort to cash in on the game's growing international appeal.

Quizzed on whether he would consider such a move he said: "I'm not sure. I don't have any immediate plans to do that, but I certainly wouldn't rule it out in the future."

If Mickelson makes the move, it no doubt would cause concern at the PGA Tour, which until now has had an almost exclusively monopoly on the top American players.

While the previous generation of greats, particularly Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, played extensively around the world, the current crop, barring Tiger Woods, rarely have left American shores, except for the Open Championship and Ryder Cup. notas_de_prensa_archivo
