“I understand the decision from the point of view of the Tour. I’ve been playing the two circuits since 1994 and there has been no problem, but for some reason now they want us to play a full schedule . We used to play seven events and we kept the card. Now they want us to play more than in the U.S. , I think they are going down the wrong path , “he added .
