Koreans Players Are Going To Make LPGA Fold
Why not just make every tourney the Korean Open??
The LPGA is already in serious trouble and the failure of Michelle Wie has basically did in the tour. No one is going to watch with leaderboards like Kim, Li, Sung, Lee, ect,ect
Very true JJ but they face 'racism' issues if they limit fields etc.
They're in a tough spot.
I know, they have to let them play
Typical example how Americans are lazy, Koreans out work them.
it is a good point though, what do you do when the top ten on your leaderboard are named Wing Sue Lee?
There's not a television market for this outside Korea and that could be the answer, base the tour over there for television money reasons and come back to the US twice a year for Majors, people would probably watch twice a year.
JJ, I use to follow the girls somewhat in years past, but no being racist or anything, but I don't know one from the other anymore! At least Grace Park and S. Pak would stand out before! Excellent observation!
JJ you mean people used to watch LPGA before when Smith, Jones and Stevens were winning the tour.
I'd watch Natalie Gulbis even if she was +37.....
So its going to fall apart because a Korean was a failure and because only Koreans are successful?
People probably made your argument about the NFL and NBA as well. The bottom line is people dont care what color the people are they're watching, they watch to see the most talented athletes.
So the TV ratings are wrong and every major sponsor they have is pulling out because.....?
It is very hard for an American to win a tourney now
It is like 15 Koreans against 3 or so Americans every week
Give them credit

You know how the Europeans, South Africans and Australians feel know every time Tiger Woods enters a tournament. Should we ban Tiger from playing because he is so good?It is very hard for an American to win a tourney now

You're missing the point. Nobody watches.
