I've never heard of the PGA Cup. I thought the British Open was the only PGA tournament played in Europe besides some of the Ryder Cup events. I always like watching the British Open because of the unique landscapes compared to the United States. I'll be sure to catch the PGA Cup for the great golfing and the scenic course.
