Lee Westwood, Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke come to mind. I think playing against Tiger Woods in a major seriously affects their chances of winning. I believe it is a shame that professional senior golfers make more prize money than professional women golfers. The two tours are competitors, and they would remain so even if they operated under one umbrella organization. This is business.
Demand has to come first before supply follows.
Every golf magazine demographic study I've seen shows that not only are readers overwhelmingly male, but also their interest in the LPGA is minimal. The solution is to get the public to show up at LPGA events and watch them on TV and boost the ratings. If you can figure out how to do that, you're nominated as the next commissioner. N.J. The public drives the media, Ann. Tigermania is a phenomenon among the fans.
