European Tour looking beyond Dubai

Europe’s best golfers may still be jockeying for position on the 2014 Race To Dubai, with the season’s climax at the DP Tour Championship still five weeks away.

Yet it is just seven weeks until the start of the 2015 season and the European Tour yesterday released its early season schedule from December through to the Masters in April.

The Tour, still celebrating dominance over its American cousins at last month’s Ryder Cup, has underlined its international reach by confirming the inclusion of two new tournaments for next season, in Thailand and India.
