Top golfers 'won't travel to Australia'

Australian golf fans need to get used to the fact that the days of foreign marquee players contesting domestic events are over, according to US Tour star Stuart Appleby.

Appleby, in Melbourne for the launch of next month's Australian Masters, said the massive money on offer in America and the tyranny of distance meant the days of major winners playing in Australia were at an end.

"You're not going to get the top Americans to Australia. It's not going to happen, the business has changed," Appleby said.
