Dunno about this, things take time. Putting a Central America / Caribbean tour on 10 years ago would’ve been pointless, only now has been the right time to start a tour there. Let’s be honest the standard of that tour is dreadful, so things take a long time and they can only work with what they had. No business will pump tons of money into a region if the interest is not there.

These areas have to do some work themselves too. Look at the African continent now, thanks to people like Devon Petersen there’s a genuine tour in Africa now outside of just being in Cape Town. Kenya/Uganda seem to be producing interest and decent standard players. Devon said next year will be the first time they split between north and south, and mentioned a few countries where it’s growing, Egypt, Nigeria, Lesotho, Botswana. I think these things have to happen organically and that’s when the PDC can jump in and create worthwhile tours
