The Asian Tour and European Tour are closer to mending ties after a bitter dispute over two tournaments but major differences remain, a leading Asian official said.
Gerry Norquist, the Asian Tour's senior vice president, said the two bodies are working towards an agreement over events in India and South Korea on next year's European Tour calendar.
Asian Tour officials had accused their rivals of colonialism after the Europeans sanctioned events on local turf without approval from the regional governing body.
Norquist said the issue was brought up at July's meeting of the International Federation of PGA Tours at Carnoustie.
"The European Tour admitted that they had breached protocol and that was satisfactory to the Asian Tour," Norquist said.
The Indian Masters is a $2.5 million event slated for February next year while the Korean tournament is scheduled for March in Jeju.
