Am in a golf pool based on last year's earnings, does any one know any european or international players trying the pga tour this year, such as andres romero, paul casey, westwood, edfors, karlsson and so on. Also are Couples and Faxon healthy and plan on playing. Thanks in advance.

- Thread starter Whalers Rule
- Start date
Don't know about the Euro's Whaler but doubt Fred's back probs will get worse before better--read article by him in one of golf mags lately on all the therapists he's been to--and his comment was as each year goes by his quality plasying time decreases--on Fax don't the foot prob will be factor however he stated he wanted to heal completely before playing--so rust may be prob in 08 even if healthy.

As far as the Euros go, I read that Paul Casey is going to give it a go on the PGA Tour this season. Surprising as he had a complete meltodown on his last attempt after the anti-american comments. Says he wants to play against tiger, phil and jimmy week in and week out...be careful what you wish for. Stenson and Karlsson both seem to be playing the international scheduling, rotating between us and euro tours. Although rose was quite successful last season I don't like this option. Westwood seems like Monty, primarily a euro guy. But I'd love to see Romero give the us tour a run.
Yup Casey and Stenson will spend time over here. Also that dude who looks like apoo from the simpsons..singh.
Need to get caught up on articles for the mercedes

PGA Tour (75x100)Henrik Stenson didn't have to put a ball in the rack and wait his turn to tee off at Torrey Pines, but he sure got a taste of municipal golf when he made an unannounced visit to the home of the 2008 U.S. Open.
Stenson knew he wouldn't be able to play the Buick Invitational next month because he will be on the European tour in the Middle East. When he arrived in California for the Target World Challenge, he made a detour to San Diego and booked a twosome on the golf course. The starter put them with another couple who just started playing golf five months ago.
Turns out the woman's name was Pamela Anderson -- no, not that one -- and Stenson's remembers her boyfriend's name only as Jesse.
"Let's just say it was an interesting round," Stenson said. "She told me, 'The next time you're south of L.A., give me a call.' And I told her, 'Which Pamela Anderson am I going to look up?"'
It was an awakening of sorts for Stenson, who won last year in Dubai and the Accenture Match Play Championship. Outside of a round in Spain last year, he said it had been 10 years since he paid a greens fee. The good news is he received the San Diego County residents rate.
And he bought a bucket of balls for the range, the first time in a while he hit balls with a black stripe around them.
"They were limited-flight balls," he said. "It was cool in the morning, and the ball was going nowhere. But it took a couple of swings to realize this is not down to me. Some of it was the balls."
As for the course?
"It was one of the most gorgeous places I've ever been," he said. "Stunning views. It was nice to see a U.S. Open course in advance."
Odds are, it won't be the same in June.
He'll be hitting premium range balls. The practice area will be part of the North Course. And he won't be paired with Pamela Anderson.

European tour player who I like and could go well on the pgatour is Brett Rumford. Canizares is an obvious choice as well.
