Forum This past week in Europe the season-ending Volvo Masters culminated in two men winning the trophy. After two playoff holes, it was getting dark, so European Tour Executive Director Ken Schofield offered Colin Montgomerie and Bernhard Langer the opportunity to share the victory. The European Ryder Cup partners accepted the offer, with Monty taking his 27th European Tour win and Langer his 42nd. Should splitting a title be permitted? Would you like to see this happen on U.S. Tours if a playoff is going on too long or conditions are not conducive to play?
