Geoff in European Tour

The UK writers have feasted on Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy's rejection of the PGA Tour and eagerly await Martin Kaymer's decision as another nail in the American tour's demise.

Now, will we get some realistic assessments of the European Tour's teetering Road Race To Dubai as the boys arrive in the desert for their season-ending championship? Three years ago and fresh off a free jet ride, a few scribes fawned over the prospects for the Road to overtake the FedExCup and even lure Tiger to join the European Tour. And now stocked with most of the big names in golf the event should be at its zenith with years of prosperity in the cards, yet merely surviving the end of its five-year contract will be an impressive feat.

We'll be watching scribblers!
