Golf: O'Meara sees dramatic rise of European golf - Ashley Hammond,

PGA Tour golfing veteran Mark O'Meara said he could see the rise in European golf coming, but claims the US has what it takes to fight the trend with or without Tiger Woods.

There are just four Americans in the top ten to Europe's six, this on top of the Ryder Cup win last year paints a worrying picture for the American game's fading dominance.

O'Meara said, "I certainly think it's been coming, no question about it; 20, 25 years ago the US players had tended to dominate the top ten. But you know I can see over the last 15-20 years it's certainly become more of a global game... The European Tour has been no exception to that with the success the European Team had in the Ryder Cup, the confidence of coming over and playing a lot in America."
