Some interesting numbers. The PGA identifies foreign players on it's internet leaderboard. The LPGA does not. At the Buick this year foreign players accounted for a bit over 20% (11 of 50) of the top 50 players. Just a guess but it wouldn't surprise me if foreign player participation has changed much in the last 20 years.
I looked at the LPGA leaderboard for the last tournament comparable to the Buick (Farr). Foreign players were approximately 70% (36 of 50)of the players in the top 50. Wonder why America is losing interest in the LPGA?
