There are a total of four majors among the 20 names listed about.
The PGA Tour is unduly influenced by its “middle class” – this is why the European Tour has made so many gains against the PGA Tour over the last 20 years.
Any particular reason for only having members on the PAC with US passports?
Both Aaron Baddeley and Geoff Ogilvy are Australians but I think Baddeley has got an US paasport recently. But He is still the Australian flag next to his name on official PGA leaderboards.
