The LPGA will play it's season ending Tour Championship November 19th - 22. Which is great, the problem is they are allowing the top 120 golfers on the money list to play in it. This means currently Marisa Baena who is number 120 could be rewarded for making 7 out of 15 cuts and whose best finish was a tie for 32nd. Now if you ask me there really is nothing special here other than the fact that they will cut down to 70 after 36 holes and then down to 30 after 54 holes. Why waste peoples time and just let the top 30 shoot it out rather than including 40 other players who do not deserve to be there?
In other LPGA news, why would the players allow Christina Kim another term on the Board! She was a big Bivens supporter and fought to hide the terrible things she did that caused the tour so much grief. What are you players thinking? This girl just does not get the the concept of the what the LPGA is trying to do. She has no idea why the integrity of the game needs to come first and why golf supersedes other sports in the need for conservative intelligent promotion.

One reason the LPGA wants to have more than 30 pros in an event is so they can fill up their pro-am fields... often morning and afternoon affairs, or on two days, with as many as 50 or more teams playing (requiring 50 or more pros).
ReplyDeleteThe tour makes big money off the pro-ams and the sponsors demand them to schmooze clients.
I can understand the economcis of this.
