Never a SAM around when you need one.
12 protesters and it makes it into a national wire story. Amazing how that works. Almost like it’s coordinated through press relations.
The Asian invasion on the LPGA Tour is like the third rail of pro golf. No one wants to touch it but there is no question it’s hurt the game at least domestically. And it’s not really racism, but more that it makes the tour seem like a foreign entity. Americans by nature are homers.
Agree. The Koreans in particular have taken over the tour. The ROK has created a machine that churns out young female golfers by the gross, programmed for short, highly focused careers. Don’t know what would be the answer by the West to this Oriental invasion, apart from a quota system.
Of course, that’s not the LPGA’s plan. They’re marketing the tour to Asia, even playing a major portion of each year’s schedule overseas. Outside of the Solheim Cup (ironically, no Asian particpation), there is little women’s golf on American TV, even the Golf Channel.
