Sept 20 (Reuters) - Tim Finchem says he regrets that the PGA Tour has not expanded more globally during his long tenure as commissioner, while at the same time he is confident that golf has cemented its place in the Olympic Games.

Speaking on Tuesday ahead of this week's season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, Finchem addressed a variety of issues in his final formal news conference after just over 22 years as boss of the U.S.-based circuit.

Asked about his regrets as he prepares to step down at the end of the year, he spoke of only one, not quite invoking Frank Sinatra's famous line of "too few to mention" though he came very close.
