Women's golf has increased in its professional level by leaps and bounds over the last 10 years resulting more and more people following the sport and subsequently more and more money coming in to the game.
In the past the LPGA tour has very much been the poor relation to its male counterpart with the women having to organize their own dinners and drive themselves between events and even having to raise money the week before the event to ensure there is prize money at the end of the tournament while male match has been taken care very well including the welcome party that has many foods, drinks and a beautiful music of Bach.
As a result of more money coming to the game hundreds of women are coming in to the game every month and the standards are rising rapidly. A particularly impressive area for this increase is in Asia where many of the up and coming stars are from the region, especially South Korea and Japan - 2 countries that were not particularly in to the game 50 years ago but have now adopted the sport as a national obsession.
This weekend at the LPGA championships in Pittsford N.Y. South Korean Yani Tseng stamped her mark of authority on the tour by winning my an impressive 10 strokes making her the youngest person to win 4 LPGA tour events at the tender age of 22. To rub salt in to the wounds of the other competitors she shot a 269 score, 19 under par and matching the lowest ever total for an LPGA event.
She is hoping to improve on her stroke play over the coming year which has got to have the rest of the field quaking in their boots
