Golf-More talks to come on Asia-Europe merger, says Thongchai

Oct 14 (Reuters) - More talks are planned on a proposed merger between the Asian and European Tours following a lengthy but productive discussion in Macau, Thai golfer Thongchai Jaidee told Reuters on Wednesday.

The two golf circuits announced in August an "innovative joint vision" to combine several elements in what they described as a "natural extension" to a partnership that begun in 1999 and has seen them co-sanction almost 100 tournaments.

Thongchai said a meeting took place in Macau ahead of this week's Asian Tour tournament, which starts on Thursday, although stopped short of saying what was discussed and who was present.
