European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley insists he will not be afraid to change the rules regarding Ryder Cup eligibility following last months defeat at Hazeltine.Only European Tour members can play on the team, a regulation which meant captain Darren Clarke did not have the option of selecting world No. 12 Paul Casey, who gave up his membership to concentrate on the PGA Tour.The chance to play in the Ryder Cup has long been seen as one of the key ways the European Tour can try to prevent its top stars from playing full time on the more lucrative PGA Tour.But Pelley believes it is his job to make the Tour an attractive enough proposition that players will choose to play on this side of the Atlantic, rather than be forced to do so.We are always talking to our top players, said Pelley, who was responding to calls this week from Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy to change the eligibility criteria. We are always listening to what they have to say. We also want to have the best possible team at the Ryder Cup.We are having discussions regarding the qualification system now. We will continue to have them. We will have them with our players. We will have them with our tournament committee and our board over the coming weeks and months.We will adjust the Ryder Cup qualification if we feel that we need to. We wont be afraid to make the changes.I would say that part of our job at the Tour is to get players to come and play because it is a terrific place to play. We play at world-class resorts, like here in Turkey. We play on great golf courses in great cities. To be a world-class player, the European Tour is a fantastic place to be.Our job as the gatekeepers of the Tour is to provide bigger purses, greater experiences and greater courses so that the players want to play here and play here more than they need to just to stay a member and so be a Ryder Cup player.The Ryder Cup is a critical component of our tour and it is a sensational event. But it shouldnt be the only reason why someone wants to be on our tour. Thats our job at hand right now.Pelley conceded that the topic may have only resurfaced due to the 17-11 defeat at Hazeltine, Europes heaviest in the biennial contest since 1981.McIlroy told the No Laying Up podcast that Caseys absence definitely hurt us and Westwood agreed with his team-mates assertion that the best 12 players should feature on each side, regardless of where they play.At the end of the day, youre still European and you still have the passion to play for Europe and represent them, Westwood said.If you prove that youre world class on, say, the PGA Tour and not the European Tour, why should that have any bearing on whether you can play or not?Speaking during the third round of the Turkish Airlines Open, Pelley also revealed there would be changes in how future Ryder Cup venues are selected, with Turkey a possible host.Italy beat Spain, Germany and Austria to the rights for the 2022 Ryder Cup after what the Tour itself described as an exhaustive and comprehensive bid process.The challenge I had with the process was that all of these organisations host tournaments for us and there is one winner and three losers, Pelley added. The three who were not awarded the Ryder Cup are still our partners. That I found was not a good way forward. Wholesale Salomon Shoes .

Salomon Sale Canada .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. The Vancouver Canucks had a rough start to the season. After winning their first four games, they lost nine straight and were shut out four times in the process.But as the Canucks prepare to take on the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night, theres much more hope than there was a month ago.The Canucks are 7-4-1 in their past 12 games as the embark on a five-game trip that could push them closer to a playoff spot in the West. They are four points out of a wild-card spot, partly because of the weakened conference, but that doesnt matter to the players, who are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel.Were getting wins every once in a while, Canucks center Bo Horvat said. We need to put a string together. To lose a lot of games in a row and just win here and there is not good enough. We have to start winning more hockey games.Anybody can do it in this league, Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller said. There are a lot of points out there to be had. Weve got under 60 games, I guess. Its a lot of hockey. Its a lot of room to improve for us.While the Canucks (11-12-2) have the benefit of playing in the NHLs worst division, the Devils (11-7-6) have fallen behind the pack thanks to some recent struggles.The Devils rallied for a 5-4 win in Nashville on Saturday to snap a four-game slide, but they are a mere 2-4-3 in their past nine games. When the Devils cant find wins, usually its because the offense cant find goals. But that hasnt been the case during their recent slump.Corry Schneider, arguably the best goaltender in the league over the last few years, has allowed at least three goals in his past six starts.dddddddddddd Through 18 games, Schneider has a .912 save percentage, which is 12 points below his career average.I think Cory Schneiders game, theres nothing to worry about here, Devils coach John Hynes told NJ.com. Do we think he can play better? For sure. But we think that of a lot of our players. Cory Schneider has given us a chance to win games.Schneider has a chance to right himself against his former team, who traded him to the Devils during the NHL draft in 2013.There are not many guys left who I played with; even the coaching staff is totally different, Schneider told NorthJersey.com. But the staff there, the trainers and medical is still there, so its good to see them. There are very few familiar faces. But theres still a lot of fond memories from there, so its always a fun game to play.Schneider has said he wants to be a goal better going forward. If he can start allowing two instead of three, the Devils can get back on sound footing.I think thats why hes so good because, overall as a goaltender, hes highly talented, Hynes told NorthJersey.com. But hes got good self-awareness skills. Hes always trying to improve; he wants to be better. He wants to win these games, for sure, as we all do. ' ' '
