Regardless of it being the stature of the golf season, there have been no full occasions on the landmass throughout the previous three weeks. 

Ryder Cup star Paul Casey, who is a part of the European Tour's competition panel, told The Daily Telegraph: "There are such a variety of exceptional things about the European Tour and it might be such an extraordinary item given the spots we head off to and the players we have.
