PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem says the prospect of retirement is dauntingTim Finchem is in his final days as the commissioner of the PGA Tour having held the role for 22 years. And the 69 year old told BBC Sport that his desire to bring together the leading tours did not materialise as much as he would have wanted.
He is the man responsible for creating the FedEx Cup with its $10m van cleef and arpels lotus ring replica first prize and the inception of the Presidents Cup that pits the US against the Rest of the World.
Finchem was also prominent in helping golf return to the Olympics.
Finchem explained why the PGA Tour is so attractive to overseas players, why despite the influence of Tiger Woods there are so few black faces on his circuit and admitted that the prospect of retirement is "daunting".
Back in June 1994, when he took over from Deane Beman, Finchem inherited a Tour that boasted $56.4m in prize money. As he departs, total purses are in excess of $300m.
"I have a lot of pride in what's been built and the progress we have made," said Finchem when we met close to the tour's Ponte Vedra Beach Headquarters in Florida.
The PGA Tour boasts assets in excess of $2bn and on 1 January 2017, Finchem's 46 year old successor Jay Monahan will take control of an organisation that routinely attracts the best golfers.
Deputy commissioner Jay Monahan will take over from Finchem on 1 JanuaryThroughout Finchem's tenure, Europe's leading players have enthusiastically headed stateside, attracted by vast prize funds and a lucrative pension fund that offers lifelong financial comfort.
The out going commissioner also points out that his tour's time zone offers a very significant marketing platform for European golfers.
"If Sergio Garcia plays in the United States he gets probably better television penetration in Europe than if he played in Spain because we are on prime time there," Finchem said.
"Unfortunately, in the process of all that it has put pressure on the European Tour which is not a good thing in the long term and for other tours like Australia and South Africa.
"The opportunities here are so much better and that's why we feel strongly over time we have to do things that will help balance the strength of tours.
"It's not necessarily healthy for the next 25 years for everybody to wake up and want to come to the United States to play their golf."
Finchem's vision was to bring together the leading tours under one umbrella and believes it will still happen.
But the European Tour seems up for a fight. It is bullishly looking to compete to keep its players on their side of the Atlantic. Only last week their brash and energetic chief executive Keith Pelley said his Tour's attitude is "ambitious and aggressive."
European Tour chief executive Keith PelleyFinchem's undemonstrative, drawn out style is the complete opposite of the fast talking showman from Canada, now in charge at Wentworth. "I think Keith is a solid guy and comes from a good solid business background that should serve him well," Finchem observed.
"I think the challenges though are difficult. It is no secret, I think the best answer is that a new organisation be formed that represents professional golf on a global basis."
Finchem claims this vision would benefit all stakeholders, although given the scandals engulfing world football, the van cleef emerald ring replica illustrative analogy he chooses might have been better.
"Like Fifa does with soccer," he said. "That can best take advantage of golf being in the Olympic Games and can offer consistent delivery of value, which is missing now.
