I believe the LPGA makes more money in South Korea than it does here. Other than that, maybe they should let Tim Finchem run their tour.

When they get a golfer that looks like Anna Kournikova, I’ll watch.

Lorena’s kind of cute and has a pretty name, but If I had to guess, I’d say she plays for the other team.

If they can just hold on for 17 years until Sam Woods is ready.

One of the major problems with the LPGA was clearly illustrated by a letter to the editor in the Bham News shortly after the “Ladies” golf tournament in Montgomery: “I took my wife to the LPGA tourney in Montgomery and will never go back. The LPGA is a magnet for the most hard-core, militant Lesbians on the planet. Their behavior was disgusting and my wife and I actually felt threatened at times.”

Kinda obvious that a Hooters tour would work. They would make a great sponsor.

I’ll wager that someone will take offense at the choice of words in the headline.

Paula Creamer, will you marry me?

Frankly, I find it more entertaining to watch the lovely ladies play than the every week question will Tiger win on the men’s tour.

Part of the problem is the foreign Asian players routinely win over half the tournaments and occupy over half the top 20 finishers in any tournament.

Most of the sponsors are white. Most of the US population is white, black or hispanic with only about 5% of the population asian. Americans get tired of watching a foreigner and particularly a foreigner of a different race taking home the trophy all the time.

The lpga needs to have US players and in particular US caucasian players to start playing a lot better.

I thought Bivens was a disaster in the making, when they hired her. Now if they could just talk Annika into becoming an interim Commissioner (for a year or two), she could probably straighten it out.

leading LPGA players -- including Ochoa, Creamer, Morgan Pressel, Cristie Kerr, and Natalie Gulbis -- met July 2

That's a powerful committee. The LPGA needs more players like them and fewer with no personality.
