Westwood plays most of his golf on the European Tour. Garcia does play mostly US events with just enough European appearances to keep his card. Donald divides his time fairly evenly, as do Harrington, Clarke and others.

I have to admit I find it hard to even remember when the Euros have given themselves chances to win Majors- obviously Monty at Winged Foot comes to mind, and Garcia in 99. You have to get yourself in the mix and the top Europeans haven't been doing that enough.
