The fact that the two of you combined have watched less than an afternoon of LPGA in your lifetimes speaks volumes. And, as Bravo pointed out, it's because it's never on TV. And there are no sponsors. And men think women are inferior.
Get some sponsors, get some advertising, give away tickets, you'd have more people coming out to watch.
I like the LPGA. Not only because it's full of lovely ladies (not all of them), but because they are talented with the sticks. They could kick our asses three times from Sunday.
But it will never happen (sponsors). Unfortunate.

Sponsors and advertisers inject money into sporting events in order to get maximum publicity for their goods and services. They are not charities. You need public demand for events before business will plough in good money.
Are you seriously suggesting that every LPGA tournament should be free to enter to get crowd numbers up?
Or are you suggesting that free tickets to a tournament in Florida will lead to paying crowds in another State?
Don't blame the sponsors. They don't get involved due to lack of public interest. So that leaves you with blaming either the public or the tour itself.
All this hippy-egalitarian-love-each-other viewpoint is all well and good. Until you get into the real world. Then you have to deal with facts.
