We give the first PTAS for the subset Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) in $H$-minor-free graphs. This resolves a long standing open problem in a long line of work on designing PTASes for TSP in minor-closed families initiated by Grigni, Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou in FOCS'95. The main technical ingredient in our PTAS is a construction of a nearly light subset $(1+ε)$-spanner for any given edge-weighted $H$-minor-free graph. This construction is based on a necessary and sufficient condition given by \emph{sparse spanner oracles}: light subset spanners exist if and only if sparse spanner oracles exist. This relationship allows us to obtain two new results: _ An $(1+ε)$-spanner with lightness $O(ε^{-d+2})$ for any doubling metric of constant dimension $d$. This improves the earlier lightness bound $ε^{-O(d)}$ obtained by Borradaile, Le and Wulff-Nilsen. _ An $(1+ε)$-spanner with sublinear lightness for any metric of constant correlation dimension. Previously, no spanner with non-trivial lightness was known.
