VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 29 (Reuters) - The European Tour's planned alliance with its Asian equivalent is likely to be rubber-stamped in time for next season, chief executive Keith Pelley told Reuters on Sunday.
The two circuits, who first collaborated for a co-sanctioned event 17 years ago, announced in August "an innovative joint vision for the future of professional golf" without going into details.
Talks on the expected union appeared to be in trouble in December when Asian Tour chief executive Mike Kerr resigned for unspecified reasons following player concerns about limited opportunities on the combined circuit.
