Wacky Races

European Tour, kudos. The big tour this side of the pond has secured the world’s richest golf tournament, the Dubai World Championship. It doesn’t tee off until November 2009 but a prize of £5 million for the limited field plus £5 million bonus divided among the top players should make this event popular with the big names. After all £10 million is one hefty chunk of change.

But why did you have to rename the ‘Order of Merit’ ‘The Race to Dubai’? It just sounds silly. We at GOLFPUNK Towers are usually quick to embrace change, but this sounds like change for changes sake. What would happen if the Football Association re-branded the F.A Cup Final “The race to Wembley” – which actually works?

We’ll tell you what, the sporting world would be up in arms.

We’ve all got a couple of years to either get used to the new name or do something about it. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
