LPGA superior to PGA Tour in at least one aspect: Guts
Tuesday February 19, 2008 | 14:44:44 204 words, 4311 views
If you ever grow weary of watching Tiger Woods‘ Complete and Total Dominion of the PGA Tour, switch that channel over to the pink station. There is actually some competition over here. First off, this could be the year of a gargantuan battle between Lorena Ochoa and Annika Sorenstam over No. 1. It’s an attractive prospect: Two great golfers with personalities to match. Both are humble, amiable and damn it, not too bad looking. Personally, I love Sorenstam, but I’d like to see a new ruler of the roost, and if I were to pick one woman, Ochoa would be the one. You also have players like Paula Creamer, Suzann Petterson, Morgan Pressel, Christie Kerr and all those Korean machines who aren’t intimidated by the No.1, so unlike the PGA Tour, where the also-rans start to slobber and quiver when El Tigre’s name is mentioned. The LPGA is – here it goes – more manly than the PGA. Still, I’d like to see a little more bad-mouthing, a little more hissing, among the ladies, and not about just Michelle Wie. There’s another good story line/whack job the LPGA has that the PGA doesn’t. The PGA guys are all such drones, following the rules and all that.

It would help the LPGA's ratings to have its top players "fear" a superstar. After all, that was supposed to be Michelle Wie's position.

The 2 shot penalty the LPGA gave Angela Park on the 10th hole when she was either leading or 1 back was significant and one would think the media and bloggers would be all over it, but no. This shows the level of apathy the media has when it comes to the LPGA. Truth is most fans could care less about the LPGA no matter how many times they are told how great it is and how the players are "more manly than the PGA".

I disagree with Stacy...How is it that Tiger Woods' domination is bringing non-believers into the game? The attitude of "who cares, Tiger's going to win, let's watch dominoes" will ultimately result. Why was Park assessed a penalty, slow play? Didn't see that one at all, kind of like Belichick being buried and all. If Phil and Tiger tangled like Stewart and Busch do in NASCAR, that might bring some rougher elements into the viewing of the game.

With Annika back in business, the players will have someone to fear again.

Holy macaroni....I've agreed with Jennifer Mario TWICE in the past week! What's the world coming to??!?!
BTW, "Oliver" - once again you're missing the point (hmmm, what's new). Tim's post is about "anticipation" of an increase in viewership due to a "real" set of competitors...unlike the PGA (his words, not mine *s*). So....what is the *whack job* up to so far this season? Any rumblings from Camp Wie yet?? Predicting a win at the MEN'S Open this year??? Boy, wouldn't THAT be something....Jen's book might even sell a few copies! ;)
