Do you ever wonder how the LPGA determines their field list for tournaments?
Here is a brief explanation and a complete list of the new LPGA Priority List.- cnosil and cksurfdude

The LPGA played its last official tournament last weekend. The 2023 season has now come to a close, and what a season it was! There were records set in many different categories.
Here is my recap of what I thought was one of the most competitive and entertaining seasons ever.

How well have your favorite LPGA players done this year?
Have they been a pleasant Ssurprise or a major disappointment?

I dare say if they had the comparable questions about the PGA Tour, your average golfer might not do very well either.
Overall, it's a shame that the LPGA doesn't' get the level of exposure that they deserve. I was a member of Locust Hill Country Club that hosted the LPGA for over 30 years. We opened up our house for touring professionals to stay while playing. Across the board, every pro we met was gracious, appreciative and generally a lot of fun. I'd follow groups every year and though they moved several tee boxes up on several holes, I found I could relate much better to their game than the average PGA player. In 2000, the average PGA Tour driving distance was 273 yards (leader John Daly averaged 301). During that same period the LPGA average was about 230 years (with leader Caroline Blaylock at 270 yards). The LPGA hit distances more in line with really good men players I knew and their overall approach to the game seemed similar to mine (where I typically hit from, chipping, putting, etc.).
As such, I became a fan of the LPGA. I think if more people were exposed to the players and their game, they would be fans too!
I agree 100%

So you think you know the LPGA?
Let's see how much you actually do know.

The LPGA had its first reshuffle of its Priority List this week. While most of the players moved up or down a few insignificant spots, there were some very significant moves also.

I notice that some of the events are finally starting to up their prize money, yet... many of those events I see on TV are still not attracting a lot of spectators... Personally I agree when people say that the LPGA players are a more applicable swing model for amateurs vs the pro men, so just wondering "out loud" what might be done to try to increase fan attendance / tv viewership..??
Nice post. Tv ratings are up this year as is the prize money. That said, its still not where it should be. Newspapers do not even the the LPGA events. Such a shame as the girls put on quite a show and are so fan friendly.

The Year 2022 was certainly a year to remember in women's golf.
We had winner's from 14 different countries and many all-time LPGA records were broken.

With the LPGA headed for Canada this coming week, I thought this would be a good time for me to do another player profile.
The player I have chosen is Canadian born Brooke Henderson.

LPGA 2022 Mid-Season Rookie Report Card.
With the LPGA season about half complete I would like to take a look at how the rookies are faring so far this year. I will do this again a final time at the end of the season.

it’s still pretty early in the season as the LPGA has completed about 25% of its 2022 schedule, but I don’t think it is too early to take a look at some of the players with results that have been the biggest surprises and biggest disappointments of the year so far.

After the Covid shortened 2020 LPGA season in which only 18 tournaments were played, the majority of those without fans, the LPGA came roaring back in 2021. Twenty-nine tournaments were played in all, including all five major championships. Fans were able to come back out and see their favorite players once again, and they put on quite a show.

The LPGA has now completeds about 2/3 of its 2021.
There have been many surprise performances, and also some major disappointments.

Nelly Korda Dominating LPGA Tour
in Tour Talk
Posted · Edited by tonyj5
Nelly Korda was a winner this past weekend, taking home the first-place trophy at the Ford Championship. In doing so, she has accomplished something that has not been done on the LPGA in eight years. The victory was her third win in her last three starts. How rare is this achievement?
