LPGA bottom line disappearing !!!!!!!!!

This year on the LPGA tour there is a total of approximately 64 million dollars. Next year the LPGA tour prize money will total about 40 million dollars. No I may not be the smartest man in the world but even in this economy the PGA Tour, MLB, NFL, and Pro Tennis will all have increases in total purses or revenues for next year and the LPGA will lose 24 million. Now we can blame this on quality of product, lack of TV exposure, just blatantly poor marketing and mismanagement across the board. I blame a bit of it on twitter. Follow Christina Kim on twitter for a day or Morgan Pressel both wonderful golfers and as far as I know great people. That being said, reading their tweets will leave you thinking your following a couple of junior high girls who have no idea what it means to work or live in the real world. It's so infantile that you have a hard time keeping your respect for either of them. You have to respect their golf games but they have no idea what life is about or being a grown up entails.
