Whoever's idea it is, a team in europe is a terrible idea. The jet lag is going to be a huge issue. I know many european golfers over the years have thought they could play both tours, like they were the exception who could deal with it, but no one ever can. The fatigue eventually wears you down.
I know they claim they can work the byes around to minimize it, but I don't believe it. What happens when the East division is supposed to play the West? What happens for the playoffs when there are no byes? There's a good reason you don't see transoceanic sports leagues.
But I have no doubt they'll try it. Anything to increase revenue.
And I'm a good free market capitalist -- but not when it hurts the game.
