I do think it would be nice though if there were a travelling major because I think its unfair that countries such as South Africa and Australia which contribute so much to golf dont ever get to see a major.
A travelling major. I like this idea for the reasons TyeDye states. The problem would be getting the PGA Championship downgraded and this "international" major elevated. I'm thinking that it should occur in proximity (time and location) of a given year's President's Cup/Ryder Cup competition.

Optimally, though probably not realistically, it would behoove the PGA of America to allow the PGA Championship to become this event. Lets face it, the PGA Championship is easily viewed as the least ranked major in terms of prestige, especially externally (to USA). And wouldn't it be great to see a major in Australia, South Africa, Argentina, New Zealand, etc...... and half the time this event would take place in the USA. I think it would be representative of the game's evolution.
