O’Grady upbeat on future of European Tour

European Tour Chief George O’Grady is bullish about the future of the European Tour after “a period of transition” over the past year.

O’Grady, in his review of the 2013 campaign, accepted the Tour went through a period of transition but believes it ended on a very positive note by the extension of the Race to Dubai to 2017 and the 10-year sponsorship agreement with Rolex.

“That (Rolex sponsorship) is much bigger than before and will enable us to develop the game the way we want to do throughout the world,” said O’Grady.
