Let's face it LPGA fans we are in the midst of an unprecedented and wonderful transformation in our beloved tour. I know your all saying "wonderful?" Well please hear me out. Here are a few reasons that the Asian influx has and will help the LPGA tour.
1. They play a more fundamental type of golf (as Opposed to Laura Davies)and will force any of the players who seriously want to compete to get better thereby enhancing the quality of golf.
2. They have no fear of contending, unlike our American women who just falter week after week when in contention. Which will force the other players to learn how to play while leading or in contention.
3. Non-Asian players should watch and emulate the short games of many of the Asian players because they are not SPIN DEPENDENT and with the new equipment rules governing grooves I predict you will see even a larger Asian dominance on the LPGA Tour of the next couple years until the other players adapt.
4.The Asian golf arena is gigantic and progressive always improving in every area not just equipment as happens here in America. Asian golf fashion is the trend setter now and being incorporated in to the LPGA bit by bit.
6. American Companies are no longer competitive in the areas of IT Tech and electronics as well as global investment and the worlds leading companies( Toshiba, Samsung, HSBC, Ricoh etc.) are now Asian and will soon be the leading sponsors for a majority of LPGA events especially the premier events with the largest purses and best fields.
Finally you have to admit, those Asian ladies can play, with their amazing smiles, wonderful stories, respect for the game and fellow players and love for their families and countries. While we as Americans love to see our women play well and win! Let's all open our eyes and appreciate what this Asian Invasion has and will do for the LPGA tour and give these amazing athletes from Asia all the respect as well as accolades they deserve after all and for the next few years it's their tour and we have the privilege to enjoy it and them.
So if your an LPGA fan try selecting one of the Asian players to follow along with you favorites and research her, find out what her story is and I have no doubt your respect and admiration will cause you to see the Asian Invasion as a wonderful thing for the future of the LPGA.
