Sergio in Europe this Week

Sergio's playing at the European Open this week instead of Tiger's event. From what I read, it sounds like this might be Sergio's first tournament at this specific course. That's what I like about Sergio. Sure he would like to win majors, but he also plays golf for all of the different aspects of the game - traveling around to different places, playing different courses and not just the same ones every year. You really get a sense that he sees the bigger picture - that it isn't about winning or majors. It's about the experience.

Yes, you may be right on that. It seems weird that he would pass up Tigers Tournament. The only other reasons why Sergio may be playing in Europe this week, I think, is Sergio has been playing really well in America and the next big tournament is the British Open. So he may be playing the European Open to get his game ready for the Open since the European golf courses are different than American courses. And with Tiger out of the picture and Sergio now in the top ten, he may have his sites on winning the British. Plus, a lot of the European Ryder Cup players are playing this week in the Open, as well. Maybe they are getting together to get ready for the Ryder Cup. That's just my opinion, though.
