LPGA Needs 50 Kournikova's
Posted: Sep 15, 2007 | 10:12 PM PST
The Solheim Cup is on, but who knows where it's being played? Who can name more than 5 players on each team? Congratulations if you do.  The LPGA has tried to market sex or rather sexiness but is Natalie Gulbis really in the same league as the hotties on the WTA?  Perhaps it's just the fact that seeing sweaty women run around a tennis court is more sexy than watching a 3 footer?  In order for the LPGA to gain popularity, there needs to be a huge influx of hotties, not just a handful of players that are 7 on the hottie scale at best.

You are so right, I wonder why more women on LPGA do not work hard at being fitter and hotter. Its good for their game and their bank account.

Perhaps you are in fact a marketing major; however, I would add the very fact that comparing tennis to golf is not a factor; however, what is the fact is that the women on LPGA tour will be tested for substance abuse and most of their sexual preferences are very well known? Sex does sell, but gay sex still has a smaller profit margin. Sex will never sell on the LPGA tour; Fact: what the LPGA needs is more American A+ players with A+ type personalities to finally step up to the plate and begin to make a match of it.

I'll admit, I don't know the answer to the questions you pose. I love the LPGA, and think the women don't receive near the attention or media coverage they deserve. Their golf is top-notch and the players are more evenly matched than the men, so the rounds are more exciting to watch. I can name many of the players, and have my favorites that I follow (up-and-coming Pressel, Superstar Sorenstam, Powerhouse Ochoa, Drama Queen Wie, and even little Maria Uribe, still an amateur but not for long!). I hope the LPGA doesn't conform to the low-brow fads of our current time and try to market these professionals as "hotties." Do the women really need to become sexier, or do we just need to pay more attention?

Jess, 7 on the hottie scale at best??? Aren't you being a bit generous ...lol. I guess it's time for you to join the LPGA and bring that scale up !

When you compare the currrent players with womem featured in Maxim magazine every month, of course the hotness factor is nothing to brag about. But I'll accept cute, young and personable. Women's golf is much more fun to watch these days. I actually now go out of my way to watch the LPGA now. It's a far cry from the mullet hair cut days.
