ATLANTA – On Tuesday at the Tour Championship, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem appeared to set the stage for his exit with a press conference that was billed as his final “formal” media meet-and-greet.
Among the subjects that Finchem, who took over as commissioner in 1994, addressed at East Lake was what he called “globality,” which in golf circles is the possibility of a single global tour.
Rumors of a possible merger between the PGA Tour and European Tour have been circulating the last few months, and Finchem said it was one of his regrets that the game isn’t any closer to a global tour.
