Golf – For Men Only

One good way to popularize women’s golf is to televise more LPGA events. How could it be that here was never a big deal made out of the likes of Annika Sorenstam or Lorena Ochoa, two of the greatest LPGA players ever? Compared to the Tiger Woods media frenzy, why did the news-media all but ignore Sorenstam and Ochoa?
It’s a mind-set that the LPGA just “isnt’ interesting enough.” I happen to think that the LPGA is very interesting. More media coverage would be good for the LPGA and good for the sport in general!
