Canada's Brooke Henderson is the most consistent LPGA
player of this century ... 10 straight seasons ranked #15 or higher
The model girl next door nice Canadian just keeps rolling.
Remember former Commish Mike Whan say if he had 10 Brookes he'd rule the sports world ... the Caitlin Clark effect :)

The last 30 LPGA who took maternity leave all lost their cards in the 1st or 2nd year back ... except Stacy Lewis who lasted 6 years.
All 7 who returned in 2024 lost their card. The 8th, Munoz, made it to year 2.
2025: Brittany Altomare's return is off to a bad start.

Another poor performance by USA golfers this week on LPGA . Only 1 made the top 10 (11 golfers) !
All the 2024 unexpected retirements and veterans losing their cards have decimated USA . With Nelly only playing half the events this will make sponsors and fans uninterested.

Current 2025 RACE TO CME / LPGA standings feature only 3 of the top 11 from USA (all 3 are 1st generation immigrants) the rest are all Asians. So many traditional USA women retired after 2024.

How embarrassing was Golf Channel's Alison Whitaker interviewing LPGA R2 Blue Bay leader Nasa Hataoka. Asked her to hop 3 times like a trained monkey same as men used to ask women to twirl for the camera! Asked which young Japanese rookie she likes lol wouldn't ask a USA / UK golfer that! #womensday

A women’s world tour is not necessarily desirable
Christine Langford (left), a former LET chairman and current director of golf at Thorpeness Golf Club, has strong and informed thoughts about the possibiity of a women’s world tour. Courtesy Thorpeness Golf Club Practically every golfing region boasts a women’s professional tour. America’s LPGA Tour has been on the go since 1950, the Japanese and Korean circuits since the late 1960s and ’70s, respectively, and the Ladies European Tour since 1978. The LET celebrated its 45th anniversary last year, and its founding members met up earlier this month at England’s Thorpeness Golf Club, where Christine Langford, a former LET chairman

18, 16, 19, 17 : the # of Rolex tournaments that Nelly Korda played the past 4 years. The Olympics, the 5 majors, and less than half of the LPGA schedule. What other sport or golf tour would tolerate that? White USA women dislike the current LPGA set up and are retiring in droves. Fix the schedule.

Fantastic R4 today! The Asian heritage domination continues on LPGA. A few years ago when most of the foreigners stayed home the traditional white USA women dominated but today only 7 played! Nelly doesn't play much :(

After Rose Zhang & Nelly Korda Showed Deep Interest, Tiger Woods's TGL Takes Measures to Boost LPGA Involvement
Get ready for a potential game-changer in tech-based golf! While The Bay Golf Club continued its undefeated streak in TGL action this February, something even more significant was brewing behind the scenes. Megan Khang’s recent appearance at the SoFi Center during Boston Common Golf’s match wasn’t just a casual visit—it marked the latest chapter in a growing narrative of LPGA stars showing serious interest in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s innovative league.This surge of LPGA interest gained major momentum when Rose Zhang made history by becoming the first LPGA player to join TGL’s ownership group. The Stanford champion strategically aligned

Looks like Golf Digest ended the LPGA contract for Kent Paisley. They haven't published a womens' golf story in months. Only Lydia Ko's Vogue magazine cover shoot, written by a veteran employee.
After the JTBC fiasco is this another nail in LPGA's downfall? USA media prefer other women's sports.

LPGA says "A generational run".
Too bad Jeeno got injured at Christmas playing the Indonesian tournament on the rejuvenated Asian tour. She couldn't start 2024 until week 16 then outplayed Nelly the rest of the year; poor Nelly even missed 3 cuts in a row. No wonder Nelly doesn't play much any more.

Sadly LPGA has limited the field this week to 120 players, so not all those who qualified at Q school can play. Also none made it from LPGA'S new category of players who 'almost made it' from 2024.
Alot of overseas stars skip this week as it's too far to come for 1 tourney. They wait for Thailand.

Sad how scared the @LPGA is of Koreans! Every question & article is about Nelly, about whom we know everything: her dog her travels home to Czechia her modeling etc. Also article on Minjee's new clubs, caddie, early season start - yet we learn nothing about A Lim Kim as a person.

The 61 "non-LPGA players" have 2 separate leaderboards for the 51 celebrities and 10 ams that paid to play including the kid Annika spot. 108 points = par so Asterix and Joe at -1 would be bottom half of LPGA leaderboard, and the other 59 would be all down in last place.
