Au contraire, by showing how the European Tour has grown without hindering other tours, I have answered the question on the subject of how Europe would react if boot was on other foot.

The European Tour is losing players to USA because the money and ranking points are in the States. When money is elsewhere the overpaid Americans either can not be bothered, or the USPGA insists on asking for releases . If USA went back to 30 years ago, when only Americans were allowed to play in America, who would lose most?
