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 don’t think that is the problem.

I think it’s the same problem the WNBA has: they’re good, but they just are as good as the men professionals.

The bottom half of the PGA would crush the top half of the LPGA.

Maybe it’s just me, but I could care less if a foreigner wins, especially if she’s cute and she can play, or even if she has a distinctive personality like John Daly. I think they should play better known courses. Can you imagine how many people would watch a women’s tournament at Augusta, or even Pebble Beach?
