“fans don’t want a bunch of foreign golfers who all have similar sounding short names, look alike, and for the most part are robotic”

“Look alike” - obvisouly no world traveler you

it’s not exactly “racist”, just culturally isolated

if you grew up as a “white” kid in an Asian country, or maybe even just spent a really great amount of continuous time in an Asian country you’d know the “look a like” meme is no more than a lack of familiarity;

even just might 18 months in Korea in the 1960s taught me that much

Get off your high horse - I was not describing me - I was explaining why the women’s tour has tanked in popularity - and I think my observations are correct. So take your self righteousness somewhere else - and keep in mind that the many millions of golf fans who do not watch women’s golf were not travelers for 18 months in Korea.

My wife and I however run a mission, which we fund ourselves, to many places in the world.
