European Tour announces £19m season ending series

The European Tour is introducing a new £19m climax to the 2013 Race to Dubai with a ‘Final Series’ of four events.
The four tournaments will be the BMW Masters, HSBC Champions, Turkish Open and the DP World Tour Championship.
I’m pleased to see that the European Tour has taken a positive pro-active step and are changing their season ending finale, because ever since they introduced the race to Dubai in 2009, it’s always felt like it was missing something.
Particularly this season as Rory won the bonus prize long before the final event and just had to turn up, although he did make it interesting by finishing with five birdies for another win.
While the European Tour has made a big change it remains to be seen whether:
A.    It will be a success
B.     It will dent the dominance of the FedEx Cup Play-offs
C.     It will stem the flow of Europeans who are flocking stateside
